The Divine H38PR Traditional Bay from Montigo
It reads as a bay window with a fire in it — glass on three sides, projecting out rather than sinking in. The Divine H38PR is a 38" three-sided bay gas fireplace with a traditional logset: 34,000 BTU/hr on natural gas (32,000 on propane), a 40 3/4" x 44" x 24 1/2" framed opening, $6,709, covered by Montigo's residential fireplace warranty. Direct vent, SIT Proflame 2 electronic ignition only.
Choose it if you want three-sided flame but cannot give up the floor. The bay glass projects the view out into the room while the unit installs in the wall like a standard fireplace - no 41" pier eating your square footage. Dressed traditional, with a ceramic logset.
It is not right if you want a standing pilot (none exists - every pier, bay, and corner Divine is electronic ignition), if your wall cannot hide a 24 1/2"-deep framed opening, if your framing cannot meet the 4" header clearance, or if it would sit in an open, uncovered outdoor space.
Specifications
The framed opening is 40 3/4" wide x 44" high x 24 1/2" deep. Clearances: 11" above with a rear vent or 17 1/2" with a top vent, 4" header, 0" sides, 0" front, 1" rear. The supplied standoffs are required and maintain 8". Combustible surrounds need 3" of side clearance. Gas supply: natural gas at 5.5" w.c. minimum inlet or propane at 11" w.c. Electrical: 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 6 A with a 3.15 A fuse, plus a 4x AA battery backup.
How the H38PR compares to other Divine configurations
Same price, different geometry: the pier H38PF ($6,709) projects 41" into the room as a peninsula, and the corner H38C ($6,709) tucks into a left or right corner with a 48" framed width. Prefer a modern linear flame in the same bay chassis? The HL38PR runs $6,709 with firestones. Only need two sides of glass? The see-through H38FSD starts at $4,759 with a standing-pilot option.
Answers to common questions
What mantel and surround clearances does it need?
Any combustible mantel must stay within the mantel-projection zone, and combustible surrounds need at least 3" of side clearance. Run anything you plan to mount on the wall above past your installer first.
What venting does it use, and is the vent pipe included?
It is a direct-vent fireplace: 5" inner / 8" outer co-axial pipe, convertible to a top or rear vent run, terminating through the roof or an exterior wall. The termination must be the highest point of the vent run, and Montigo flex sections may not be cut. Vent pipe and termination are sold separately. Besides Montigo's own venting, approved alternates include DuraVent, ICC, MetalFab, Selkirk, and Flexmaster - The Torch Guys stocks DuraVent. If you need a power vent, that option requires Montigo pipe.
Is there a standing pilot version?
No. Every Divine pier, bay, and corner model uses SIT Proflame 2 electronic ignition - the SKUs all end in -NI-2 or -LI-2, and no standing-pilot variant exists.
Will it work in a power outage?
Yes. The SIT Proflame 2 electronic ignition runs on 120 V but includes a 4x AA battery backup (part AF40BP), so you can still light the fireplace during a power outage.
Can it go in a covered outdoor room?
Yes, with conditions. It is approved for a protected outdoor room: the overhang must cover at least 75% of the fireplace's height on the front and the sides, the supplied safety screen must stay installed, wiring must be outdoor-rated, and you cannot operate it below freezing (32°F).
What’s included, what’s required, and what’s optional?
-
Included in the box: the safety screen barrier (it must be installed), the required 8" standoffs.
