EPA 2020 certified at 1.2 g/h with 70% optimum efficiency, the Valcourt Lafayette IIS is a high-efficiency wood-burning fireplace built for zone heating: 750 to 2,200 sq ft, 80,000 BTU/hr maximum from dry cordwood, a 2.5 cu ft firebox that takes 20" logs for up to 8 hours per load, and a 176 CFM blower already in the box. It frames 37-3/4" wide by 41-5/8" high by 24-7/8" deep at zero clearance to the enclosure and vents on 6" listed chimney. Pick the square faceplate, one of five louver styles and a black or brushed nickel door overlay above; from $4,409.
Choose the Lafayette IIS if you want the Lafayette II firebox behind a square faceplate rather than the arched one — same 2.5 cu ft non-catalytic firebox, same blower, same five louver styles — in new construction or a remodel with a straight or offset 6" chimney path of at least 15 ft, and a plan to move heat: the top takes a gravity kit, either side takes the forced-air kit for a room up to 50 ft away.
It is not right for a mobile or manufactured home (not approved), for a room that cannot give it 80" of ceiling height and a 15 ft chimney run through the roof, or for anyone who wants an open fire: in the United States it burns with the door closed, and an unvented gas log set may never go in it. It is a zone heater, not a furnace — Valcourt itself asks for a conventional backup heating system.
Frame an opening 37-3/4" wide by 41-5/8" high to the first header and 24-7/8" deep, with the enclosure kept empty to 80" above the base; the fireplace sits at 0" to the enclosure at the back, sides and floor. Keep a mantel to 3" deep and at least 8" above the door opening, a side wall 13" from the opening and a facing wall 48" away; a 6" combustible shelf goes at 58" from the base, or 50" with the optional heat shield. Floor protection runs 16" deep and 41-1/2" wide, R 1.00 unless the fireplace stands on a base higher than 4". The chimney is 6" CAN/ULC S629 / UL 103 HT factory-built pipe from the brands in Table 4 of the manual, 15 ft minimum from the base to the cap (17 ft with four elbows), at 2" clearance. Overall the unit is 40-5/8" high, 36-3/4" wide and 28-5/8" deep and ships at 495 lb.
The Lafayette II (FP10R) and the Lafayette IIS (FP10RS) are one fireplace with two faces. Both carry the same 2.5 cu ft firebox, the same 80,000 BTU/hr rating, the same 176 CFM blower and the same five louver styles and two overlay finishes; the II wears the black arched faceplate, the IIS this black square faceplate, each with its own louver and overlay codes. Choose by the look you want on the wall — nothing about heating changes. This model is from $4,409 with the faceplate, louver and overlay chosen above.
A 6" factory-built chimney listed to CAN/ULC S629 / UL 103 HT, from the brands Valcourt lists in Table 4 of the manual — Ventis, Nexvent, Champion, Rockford, Selkirk, Security, DuraVent, Metal Fab and American Metal, in 1" or 2" solid pack or AC triple wall — starting with a 6" anchor plate on the fireplace. The system runs at least 15 ft from the base of the fireplace to the cap, 17 ft when it uses four elbows, with 18" straight before the first offset, 2" clearance to combustibles all the way, and a termination 3 ft above the roof and 2 ft above anything within 10 ft. Some brands need a ventilated flashing or an attic radiation shield (Table 5). Send us your ceiling heights and roofline and we will size the run with you.
Valcourt rates the Lafayette IIS for 750 to 2,200 sq ft, with 80,000 BTU/hr maximum from dry cordwood and a rated range of 12,700 to 60,700 BTU/hr, and a load of 16" logs burning up to 8 hours. That figure assumes zone heating — the room it sits in and the spaces that connect to it — and moves with your chimney, climate and insulation. A gravity kit on top or the forced-air kit on the side carries heat to a room upstairs or up to 50 ft away.
The blower ships installed under the firebox and moves up to 176 CFM through the air jacket. In AUTO it starts when the fireplace is warm and stops when it cools; in MAN it runs at once; a knob sets the speed and turns it off. Your electrician connects it at the electrical inlet on the left side of the unit. The fire itself needs no power.
It is optional. The fireplace ships with the 4" adapter and intake plate; the outside wall register, two collars and an insulated 4" HVAC duct of at least 10' (30' maximum, with a P-trap loop) are bought separately. The intake fits the right side or the underside, the register sits no more than 10' above or 3' below the fireplace base, draws from outside the house — never an attic, basement or garage — and Valcourt recommends a register with a shutter that closes when the fireplace is idle.
Only to light and reload. The Lafayette IIS was tested for open-door use with the optional fire screen, but in the United States and in provinces with a particulate emissions limit, burning open-door with a rigid fire screen is prohibited, and the fireplace must never be left unattended with the screen in place. An unvented gas log set may not be installed in it.
No. Valcourt does not approve the FP10RS for a mobile home (Canada) or a manufactured home (USA).
Valcourt's Limited Lifetime Warranty covers the combustion chamber welds, castings and ceramic glass for life with four years of labour, the stainless firebox parts, baffle and air tubes for five years, the blower and controls for two, and paint, gaskets and refractory for one — for the original purchaser, with the dated bill of sale, model and serial number, and it runs through the dealer you bought from.
