About This Product

Napoleon Arlington GDS20 Direct Vent Gas Stove

20,000 BTU/hr input and 14,000 BTU/hr output from a cast-iron stove 19-1/4" wide, 25-3/8" high and 18-1/2" deep. The Napoleon Arlington GDS20 is a metallic black direct vent gas stove for natural gas or propane, with a PHAZER log set on a fibre burner, a porcelain reflective panel, a safety screen, millivolt or electronic ignition and a 45° top vent on 4" / 7" pipe, from $3,039, covered by Napoleon's President's Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Choose the Arlington if you want a traditional cast-iron stove for a small room: it is 19-1/4" wide and 18-1/2" deep, and it is approved for bedrooms, bathrooms, closets and recessed installations as well as, on natural gas, permanently located manufactured homes. Its 45° top exit lets the vent go out through a wall, up through the roof, or up a masonry chimney with a co-linear liner.

It is not right for you if you want a large stove for a great room. The Arlington is a compact 19-1/4" cast-iron stove, approved for bedrooms, bathrooms and even closets.

Specifications

The Arlington is 19-1/4" wide, 25-3/8" high and 18-1/2" deep. Keep 2" to a combustible back wall (5" if you add the blower), 2" in a 45° corner and 48" from the top of the stove to the ceiling; the side-wall clearance is in section 3.9 on page 24 of the installation manual. Furniture stays 48" from the front. On wood flooring it needs nothing underneath; on carpet, vinyl tile or another combustible floor it sits on a metal or wood panel the full width and depth of the stove. The vent pipe is 4" exhaust inside 7" intake, up to 20 ft horizontally or 40 ft vertically, and keeps 1" at the sides and bottom and 2" on top of horizontal runs, 1" all round on vertical runs.

How the Arlington compares to the Bayfield

Next up from the Arlington is the Bayfield GDS25, Napoleon's next direct vent stove up, in the same metallic black with the same 45° 4" / 7" venting — up to 24,500 BTU/hr against the Arlington's 20,000, with accent lights and a Proflame II remote included. The Arlington starts from $3,039; the Bayfield starts from $4,429. Pick the Arlington for the smaller room, or when you would rather choose millivolt ignition and add a remote only if you want one.

Answers to common questions

What venting does the Arlington need, and is it included?

The vent pipe and termination are sold separately; the stove ships with the firestop for a horizontal wall run. It vents through 4" exhaust / 7" intake coaxial direct vent pipe from a 45° top exit — out through a wall, up through the roof, or up a masonry chimney on a 3" co-linear liner — up to 20 ft horizontally or 40 ft vertically. Napoleon's GD-175 stove wall terminal kit includes its pipe, and Wolf Steel, Metal-Fab, BDM, Simpson DuraVent and Selkirk Direct Temp pipe is approved, the third-party systems each with the starter adaptor required for it. We can put the vent package together for your run.

How close can it sit to a wall, and what goes under it?

Keep 2" to a combustible back wall (5" if you add the blower), 2" in a 45° corner and 48" from the top of the stove to the ceiling; the side-wall clearance is in section 3.9 on page 24 of the installation manual. Keep furniture 48" from the front. Wood flooring needs nothing underneath; on carpet, vinyl tile or another combustible floor the stove sits on a metal or wood panel covering its full width and depth.

What’s included, what’s required, and what’s optional?
  • Included in the box: Metallic black cast-iron body with a glass door and safety screen; PHAZER ceramic-fibre log set, fibre burner and MIRRO-FLAME porcelain reflective panel; Flame/heat adjustment and the 100% SAFE GUARD gas control system; Gas flex connector with manual shut-off valve; Firestop spacer for a horizontal run through a wall; Napoleon President's Limited Lifetime Warranty.
  • Required to complete the installation, purchased separately: Venting - 4" exhaust / 7" intake direct vent pipe and a wall or roof termination sized for your run, such as Napoleon's GD-175 stove wall terminal kit, which includes its pipe (see pg 9 in the installation manual); Gas Line - a 1/2" gas supply run to the stove's flex connector and shut-off valve by a qualified installer; Floor Panel - on carpet, vinyl tile or another combustible floor other than wood, a metal or wood panel under the full width and depth of the stove; Power - a grounded electrical outlet near the stove for the electronic model's power cord; the millivolt model needs none; Securing Kit - in a manufactured (mobile) home (natural gas only) the stove must be fastened in place; the leg leveling and stove securing kit (GDSLL-KT) does that.
  • Optional: The blower kit, the remote controls, the wall mount control, the wall thermostat and, outside a mobile home, the leg leveling and securing kit — the stove runs without any of them.
Will the Arlington heat my room?

Treat it as a fire to look at, not a heater. It burns 20,000 BTU/hr and puts out up to 14,000 BTU/hr, but Napoleon certifies it as a vented decorative gas appliance rather than a heat source. If you need a stove to heat a space, it is the wrong choice.

Millivolt or electronic ignition — which should I choose?

Both give you the same fire; the difference is how the pilot runs. With millivolt ignition a standing pilot stays lit, you light it with a push-button igniter, and the stove needs no electricity. With electronic ignition the pilot lights only when the stove is turned on, with an optional continuous-pilot mode that switches itself off after about seven days unused; it has a power cord and keeps working on four AA backup batteries in a power failure.

Can it go in a bedroom or a mobile home?

Yes to both, with one limit. It is approved for bedrooms, bathrooms, bed-sitting rooms, closets and recessed installations; the mobile-home approval covers the natural gas model, for a permanently located manufactured (mobile) home fueled with natural gas, where local codes allow. In a mobile home it must be fastened in place, which the leg leveling and stove securing kit (GDSLL-KT) does. That approval covers the natural gas model only.

Does buying from The Torch Guys affect my Napoleon warranty?

No. Napoleon's President's Limited Lifetime Warranty covers the original purchaser who buys through an authorized Napoleon dealer and has the stove installed by a licensed, qualified installer; there is nothing to register, so keep your proof of purchase with the model and serial number. It covers the combustion chamber, heat exchanger, burner, logs and embers, ceramic glass (thermal breakage) and porcelain parts for as long as you own the stove, electrical and wearing parts for one year, and labour for the first year. The Torch Guys will help you with any claim.

Warranty

In the unlikely event your product experiences a defect, our technical team will guide you through the manufacturer’s warranty process. Here is a general outline of what to expect.

Due to the technical nature of our products, the manufacturer must perform troubleshooting to process a warranty claim. Your installer will need to troubleshoot the problem on-site while working in tandem with our technical team. If troubleshooting leads to what The Torch Guys deems as a defective part, we will submit a warranty claim to the manufacturer on your behalf. Before we submit the claim, we will ask you to review the terms and confirm your consent to proceed.

Once the claim is submitted, the manufacturer will review it and either approve or deny it. If they have all the information and accept the claim, your warranty replacement part(s) will begin processing for shipment. If, for any reason, the claim is denied or we need more information, we will notify you as soon as possible.

All warranties are processed as exchanges. You can expect to receive a prepaid return label for the defective part(s), which must be returned within 30 days of receiving the warranty replacement(s).

Warranty claims can take anywhere from 1-4 weeks to process, depending on the season. Given the length of time claims can take, we recommend you fire up your unit in late summer/early fall to ensure your existing fireplace is in good working order for the winter season.
