Napoleon Ascent 30″ Traditional Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

It is a direct vent fireplace on a 4" exhaust / 7" air-intake pipe that leaves the top or the rear of the unit, run out through a wall or up through the roof: up to 20 ft horizontally and up to 40 ft vertically. Use one maker's components throughout and do not mix rigid and flexible pipe. The vent run and termination are ordered separately and sized to your installation, and the outside terminal clearances are listed on page 13 of the installation manual.

• Included in the box: Split oak PHAZER log set — the Ascent is sold with its log set; Safety barrier screen and tempered glass door; Electronic pilot-on-demand ignition with its control module and transformer; Battery holder for the back-up control (4 AA batteries not supplied); Interior panels in matte black, included as standard — the decorative panel kits are an optional upgrade.
• Required to complete the installation, purchased separately: Venting - 4" / 7" direct vent pipe and a wall or roof termination sized for your run (see pg 9 in the installation manual); Electrical - a 115 V connection for the electronic control's transformer; Gas Line - a gas supply to the fireplace's manual shut-off valve - 1/2" if the fireplace is fitted with a flex connector, 3/8" without one.
• Optional: Interior panels, a vertical or external wall venting package, the Hot Air Distribution Kit, a power vent adaptor kit, the AUB blower kit, decorative fronts, finishing trims and a remote control — the fireplace operates fully without any of them.

No — the Ascent 30" is certified as a decorative gas appliance, not a source of heat. It is rated 15,000 BTU/hr input, and the optional AUB blower kit adds a variable-speed, thermostatically controlled blower; the optional Hot Air Distribution Kit can move warm air to another room through flexible ducting.

Indoors, including bedrooms, bathrooms and bed-sitting rooms, and it is approved for mobile and manufactured homes where local codes allow (fastened in place). It is rated to 4,500 ft, with the input reduced above that. Keep furniture and other objects at least 48" from the front, and do not run it below freezing. For a TV or other electronics above it, see page 50 of the installation manual.

A natural gas or propane line to the fireplace's manual shut-off valve (1/2" if it is fitted with a flex connector, 3/8" without one) — natural gas at 4.5" to 13" w.c. inlet pressure, propane at 11" to 13" w.c.. Electrically the electronic control takes a 115 V supply through its transformer, and a 4 AA battery back-up keeps it working in an outage. It is built for natural gas; the Propane option adds Napoleon's W175-0395 conversion kit, which a qualified installer fits.

No. The firebox, burner, PHAZER logs and embers and the ceramic glass (against heat breakage) are covered for as long as you own the fireplace — parts free for the first 10 years, then at half of retail; blowers, valves, remotes and other electrical parts and the labour are covered for the first year. Coverage starts on the installation date.
