About This Product

Napoleon Havelock GDS50 Direct Vent Gas Stove

44,000 BTU/hr input on natural gas from a pedestal stove 28-1/4" wide, 30-3/4" high and 21-5/8" deep. The Napoleon Havelock GDS50 is a direct vent gas stove for natural gas or propane, with a three-burner system and turbo burner, a built-in twin blower, a four-piece log set behind a safety barrier screen, millivolt or electronic ignition and a top vent exit on 4" / 7" pipe, from $4,429, covered by Napoleon's President's Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Choose the Havelock if you want a bigger pedestal stove than the Haliburton, with a blower built in: a three-burner fire with a turbo burner you turn up from its own knob, a glass door you pick in metallic black or satin chrome, and approval for bedrooms and bathrooms. Its top vent exit lets the pipe go out through a wall, up through the roof, or up a masonry chimney on a co-linear liner.

It is not right for you if you want a simple single-burner fire. The Havelock runs three burners, with a turbo burner you turn up from its own knob.

Specifications

The Havelock is 28-1/4" wide, 30-3/4" high and 21-5/8" deep on its pedestal. Keep 7" to a combustible side wall, 2" to the back wall, 1" in a 45° corner (where the blower and on/off switches may be hard to reach) and 20" from the top of the stove to the ceiling. 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 2" on top and 1" at the sides and bottom of horizontal runs, 1" all round on vertical runs.

How the Havelock compares to the Napoleon Haliburton

The Haliburton GDS28 is the smaller stove in Napoleon's Distinct Series — up to 30,000 BTU against the Havelock's 44,000, and 22-1/2" wide against 28-1/4". The Havelock starts from $4,429; the Haliburton starts from $3,629. Pick the Havelock for the bigger fire and the three-burner system with its turbo burner.

Answers to common questions

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

The vent pipe and termination are sold separately; the stove comes with a firestop for the wall pass-through. It vents through 4" exhaust / 7" intake direct vent pipe from a top vent 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, roof kits cover 1/12 to 12/12 pitches and flat roofs, and a periscope kit handles a wall exit below grade. Wolf Steel, Metal-Fab, BDM, Simpson DuraVent and Selkirk Direct Temp pipe is approved; DuraVent, Selkirk Direct Temp and Metal-Fab pipe each connect through the starter adaptor required for it (GDS924N for DuraVent, 4DT-AAN for Selkirk, 4DNA for Metal-Fab). We can put the vent package together for your run.

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

Keep 7" to a combustible side wall, 2" to the back wall, 1" in a 45° corner and 20" from the top of the stove to the ceiling. At 1" from a wall the blower switch, on/off switch and blower cord may be hard to reach. 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: Four-piece log set with charcoal ember strip; Three-burner system with turbo burner and flame height adjustment; Built-in twin blower with variable-speed switch; Safety barrier screen; Pedestal base and removable top trivet; Gas flex connector with manual shut-off valve; Firestop for the vent's pass-through in an exterior wall; Napoleon President's Limited Lifetime Warranty.
  • Required to complete the installation, purchased separately: Door - the stove's glass fire-viewing front, in metallic black or satin chrome; the stove must not be run without one; 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 built-in blower, and for the electronic model's control module; Securing Kit - in a manufactured (mobile) home the stove must be fastened in place with a securing kit.
  • Optional: The remote controls, wall mount control and wall thermostat, and the satin chrome accent bar — the stove runs without any of them.
Will the Havelock heat my room?

Treat it as a fire to look at, not a heater. It burns up to 44,000 BTU/hr and puts out up to 33,000 BTU/hr on natural gas, and its blower moves warm air into the room, 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.

Does it work in a power failure?

The fire does, on either ignition. The electronic model has a battery holder for four AA batteries that keeps its ignition working when the power is out. The millivolt model keeps a standing pilot lit and its gas valve runs on the pilot's own thermopile, not house power. The built-in blower plugs into an outlet, so it stops until the power comes back.

Can it go in a bedroom or a mobile home?

It is approved for bedrooms, bathrooms and bed-sitting rooms. The natural gas stove is also approved for a permanently located manufactured (mobile) home fueled with natural gas, where local codes allow, and there it must be fastened in place with a securing kit.

Can the Havelock vent into an existing B-vent chimney instead?

Yes. With Napoleon's GS-150KT B-vent adaptor kit it becomes a natural-vent stove that draws its air from the room and vents up a B-vent or lined chimney that serves no wood-burning appliance. As a natural-vent stove it is approved for bedrooms and bed-sitting rooms, not bathrooms, and needs 1" all round the B-vent pipe.

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 such as the blower 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.
