Standing pilot?
Do standing pilot direct vent NG fireplaces meet code or do you need electronic ignition for a new install?

Depends upon your local ordinances and governmental energy conservation boards. Approved by both major model gas codes. Where are you? Must be electronic in Calif. for example.
Keep the fire inside the fireplace.

I am in ocean county NJ. I would like to install to my self, looking at napoleon gd36ntr. Comes in standing pilot and electronic ignition, after Sandy I would prefer to have a heat source not tied to electric utility.

I don't blame you. However, most IPI ignition systems have a provision for battery backup for igniting and operating the burner. You won't have the blower, which requires 110vac but it will still kick out a lot of radiant heat along with some passive convective heating.

When I took manometer reading of my ng pressure to check pipe size, I found 3.5 wci. The napoleon product manual is asking for 4.5, will this cause under firing? I purchased this home 15 years ago with a burnham boiler made in 1985. The utility company has serviced the boiler on multiple occasions and has never mentioned gas pressure as a problem.
