Napoleon Ascent X 36" Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

It is a direct vent fireplace on a 4" exhaust / 7" air-intake pipe, off the top or the back 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 brand of pipe throughout — Napoleon (Wolf Steel), Metal-Fab, BDM, Simpson Dura-Vent or Selkirk Direct Temp — and do not mix rigid and flexible pipe. Napoleon's wall terminals are the GD-222, GD-222R and ST47U, with roof kits for pitched and flat roofs. The vent run and termination are ordered separately and sized to your installation, and the outside terminal clearances are listed on page 17 of the installation manual. It is also certified for a power vent kit.

• Included in the box: Split oak log set with glowing embers, charcoal embers and ember-bed glass — the Ascent X is sold with its log set; Ember-bed lighting (Night Light); Heat-circulating blower with variable-speed control; F60 thermostatic remote control; 5 mm ceramic glass door with premium safety barrier screen; 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 13 in the installation manual); Electrical - a grounded 115 V supply, hard-wired to the fireplace; 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: Decorative interior panels (choose above), a vertical or external wall venting package, heat management (Universal Heat Management or the Hot Air Distribution Kit), a power vent adaptor kit, decorative fronts, surrounds and finishing trims, a wall thermostat and the eFIRE Bluetooth controller — the fireplace operates fully without any of them.

Yes, with planning. Napoleon draws the TV placements above the Ascent X 36" — flush, recessed and partially recessed, with or without a mantel — in section 10.5 on page 58 of the installation manual, and recommends the optional Universal Heat Management kit for any TV above the fireplace; some of those placements are not acceptable unless it is installed. The kit also lowers the temperature above the fireplace and reduces the mantel clearances charted on page 57. It goes in with the fireplace, on a top-vent installation. Always stay within your TV maker's own temperature limits.

Indoors, including bedrooms, bathrooms and bed-sitting rooms, and it is certified 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.

Yes. The pilot-on-demand ignition can run from a USB power bank (not included) as a battery back-up, so the fireplace still lights when the power is out.

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 - connected and tested before the wall is finished — natural gas at 4.5" to 7" w.c. inlet pressure, propane at 11" to 13" w.c. Electrically it is hard-wired to a grounded 115 V, 60 Hz supply. It can be converted between natural gas and propane with Napoleon's certified conversion kit.

No. The Torch Guys is an authorized Napoleon dealer, so the President's Lifetime Limited Warranty applies in full, and we file claims with Napoleon for you. 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.
