The Valcourt Mundo II is an EPA 2020 certified non-catalytic wood fireplace rated for 750 to 2,200 square feet at 70% optimum efficiency, with a 51-1\/4\" x 41-5\/8\" x 25\" framing opening, a 6\" chimney outlet, a 50-1\/4\" wide contemporary face behind a single ceramic-glass door, from $4,509 for the fireplace alone — the gravity hot-air kit you choose above is required to complete it and is priced on top — and a limited lifetime warranty on the firebox.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose the Mundo II if you want a wide, clean-lined wood fireplace that also heats — 16\" logs up to 20\", burn times up to 8 hours, and a single air control that runs it from high to low. It is built around moving heat without a fan: the two 8\" openings on top feed the Traditional grilles or the Modern slim-plate outlet you pick above, and either side takes the forced air kit that ducts warm air up to 50 ft into another room. Finish it flush into stone or tile, add the Metallic Black Finishing Trim, and swap in NightFlame glass if you want the firebox to disappear when the fire is out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is \u003cstrong\u003enot\u003c\/strong\u003e right for a mobile or manufactured home, and it is not a whole-house furnace — it is a zone heater rated for 750 to 2,200 square feet, and a conventional backup heating system is still recommended. No blower ships with it, so if you want fan-driven heat in the room you are adding the forced air kit. It cannot connect directly to the clay tile of a masonry chimney, needs at least 15 ft of listed 6\" chimney above its base, 76\" of clear height and a fresh air intake run from outside the house. In the United States it burns with the door closed: open-door burning behind a fire screen is prohibited under the particulate rules, so if you want an open fire this is not the fireplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrame the enclosure 51-1\/4\" wide, 41-5\/8\" high to the first header and 25\" deep, in 2\" x 3\" or larger studs, with 76\" of total height and nothing combustible directly above the fireplace; widen it to 75-1\/4\" for the fresh air intake or 87-3\/4\" for the forced air kit, see section 8.5.2 on page 37 of the installation manual for the gravity-kit chase and section 8.5.5 on page 39 for a corner installation. Clearances are 0\" at the back, sides and floor, 2\" around the chimney, 13\" from the door opening to a combustible side wall, 8\" to a side mantel no deeper than 3\", and 36\" to a wall in front (48\" in Canada). A shelf up to 12\" deep sits at least 48\" above the base. Floor protection is 16\" deep and 41-1\/2\" wide, 8\" past each side of the door opening, R 1.00 unless the fireplace is raised more than 4\". The chimney is a 6\" listed system from the approved list, at least 15 ft from the base to the cap (17 ft with four elbows), with 2\" to combustibles throughout. The fresh-air duct runs 10' to 30' from an outside wall register on the right side or underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow the Mundo II compares to the Lafayette II and IIS\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Lafayette II and Lafayette IIS print the same numbers — 80,000 BTU\/hr, 750 to 2,200 sq ft, 2.5 cu ft firebox, 8-hour burn, 1.2 g\/h, 70% optimum efficiency — behind an arched or square door dressed with a faceplate, louver and overlay, and they carry a blower. The Mundo II is the wide contemporary face of the family: no faceplate, an optional finishing trim, no blower in the box, a gravity kit instead of a louver above the cart, and a shelf at 48\" rather than 58\". The Mundo II starts at from $4,509; the Lafayette II at from $4,409 and the Lafayette IIS at from $4,409.

The Traditional kit gives you two louvered grilles with elbows and brackets — in the same room, adjacent rooms or upstairs, with runs up to 10' and two elbows per duct, never downhill. The Modern kit is a single adjustable distribution box behind a slim decorative plate, with telescoping sections, for a flush contemporary wall. Neither uses flex duct, T fittings or a central heating tie-in, and outlets stay 12\" from combustibles. The forced air kit fits the 6\" opening on either side and pushes heat through insulated 6\" pipe to a room up to 50 ft away; Valcourt pairs it only with the Modern gravity kit, and running both lets the forced air kit draw some air away from the gravity ducts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e2ded8;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600;cursor:pointer;text-transform:none;font-size:1em;\"\u003eDoes it need an outside air supply?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 4px;\"\u003eYes — Valcourt requires a fresh air intake on the Mundo II, whichever gravity kit you choose. The fireplace already carries the 4\" adapter and closing plate; you add an outside wall register or inlet cap (not included with the fireplace), two collars, and 10' to 30' of insulated 4\" HVAC duct run from outside the house — never an attic, basement or garage — on the right side or underneath. The register goes no more than 10' above or 3' below the base of the fireplace, above the snow line, sheltered from wind and away from exhausts, and a shutter that closes the inlet when the fireplace is idle is strongly recommended — that is what the 4\" register with airtight damper below the cart is, an in-line damper with an indoor wall plate, not the outside register. The intake matters most in a tight house or one with a powerful kitchen exhaust that can pull the house negative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e2ded8;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600;cursor:pointer;text-transform:none;font-size:1em;\"\u003eCan I burn it with the door open, like an open fireplace?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 4px;\"\u003eNot in the United States — the door stays fully closed while it burns, whichever gravity kit you choose. The fireplace was tested for open-door use with the optional fire screen door, but in the US, and in any Canadian province with a particulate emissions limit, open-door burning behind a rigid fire screen is prohibited. Where it is allowed, the screen must be properly secured, the door is never left partly open, and the fireplace is never left unattended with the door open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e2ded8;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600;cursor:pointer;text-transform:none;font-size:1em;\"\u003eDoes buying online affect my Valcourt warranty?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 4px;\"\u003eNo. The warranty is Valcourt's and applies to every configuration on this page; it runs from your dated purchase invoice, so keep it and register the fireplace online at valcourtinc.com with the model name and serial number from the nameplate on the back. The Torch Guys will help you with any claim. Coverage is a limited lifetime on the combustion chamber welds, castings, convector air-mate and ceramic glass (4 years labour, one replacement), 5 years on the stainless components, trims, baffle and air tubes, 3 years on carbon-steel firebox parts, glass retainers and handle, 2 years on blowers and controls, and 1 year on paint, gaskets, insulation and refractory bricks.

Slide the glass doors into the sides of the fireplace and burn behind the closed mesh screens, or run it with the glass doors fully closed; the doors are never left part-way, and the mesh screens stay closed whenever a fire is burning except to light or reload. The fire is built directly on the hearth behind the andirons, no grate, with dry cordwood or 100% wood-residue fire logs (up to three at a time). A gas log lighter of up to 27,000 BTU\/h may be installed; when it is burning, keep the glass doors open and the screens closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e2ded8;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600;cursor:pointer;text-transform:none;font-size:1em;\"\u003eHow do the gravity kits and the forced air kit move heat to other rooms?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 4px;\"\u003eEither way works with whichever faceplate you choose. The gravity kits use the two 8\" openings on top of the fireplace and let hot air rise on its own through 8\" rigid duct (not included) to grilles at least 68\" above the floor and 12\" below the ceiling — the Traditional kit gives you two grilled outlets with elbows and brackets, the Modern kit a slim decorative plate on a distribution box; runs are limited to 10 ft with two elbows per duct, never downhill, never flex duct, never tied into central heating, and both outlets are always installed. The forced air kit connects to the 6\" opening on either side or the back and pushes heat through 6\" insulated HVAC flex pipe to a room up to 50 ft away on a wall thermostat and a 300 CFM blower; it was emission-tested and does not change the EPA result.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e2ded8;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600;cursor:pointer;text-transform:none;font-size:1em;\"\u003eDoes it need an outside air supply?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 4px;\"\u003eNot by default, but Valcourt strongly recommends one and some local codes require it, regardless of faceplate. A fire draws its air out of the house, which can starve a furnace or let a kitchen exhaust pull smoke back into the room in a tight home. The fireplace already carries the 4\" adapter; you add 4\" insulated HVAC pipe (30 ft maximum, ideally with a P-trap loop), an outside inlet cap and clamps, through the knockout on the left side only, with the outdoor termination no more than 10 ft above the base of the fireplace and never drawing from an attic, basement or garage.

Its tall faceplate is a design decision as much as a requirement: a seven- foot black profile with the gravity heat outlet built into its top, so warm air rises out of the wall above the fire without a separate duct kit or extra framing. Pick it for a large room in a cold climate; Valcourt's climate-zone calculator reads up to 3,300 square feet in the mildest zones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is \u003cstrong\u003enot\u003c\/strong\u003e right if you want a fireplace that works with the power out: the St-Louis needs electricity to operate its air control, and in an outage it drops to a fail-safe mode that finishes the burn unless you add a 12 V deep-cycle battery. It is not for a manufactured home in the USA (mobile homes are approved in Canada only), not for an alcove, not for a masonry fireplace opening, and it takes no gas log set. There is no firescreen option, and the forced-air distribution kit Valcourt sells for it is approved in Canada only, so plan on the gravity outlet in the faceplate as the way heat leaves the wall. It needs a full 8-inch Class A chimney at least 15 feet tall, a 96-inch ceiling above its base, and it holds 18-inch logs, not the 20- and 25-inch lengths of the Dallaire II and Waterloo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrame the enclosure 58-1\/2\" wide, at least 48\" high to the first non-combustible header and 20-1\/2\" deep, add the thickness of your finishing material, and leave the space above the fireplace empty of combustibles to 96\" from its base; with the fresh-air intake keep 12\" between the framing and the side standoff on the duct side.

In a power failure the fireplace goes into a fail-safe mode that finishes the burn safely, and until power returns only small kindling fires are possible. If outages of more than three or four hours are common where you live, a 12 V deep-cycle battery on the control board's battery tabs runs the fireplace at full capacity: consumption is about 35 W, so a 100 Ah battery gives at least 24 hours and a 20 Ah battery about 6.

It is Valcourt's linear decorative fireplace — listed to ULC-S610 \/ UL 127, EPA exempt, 63-1\/8\" wide overall, venting on an 8\" chimney with a 15-foot minimum — from $8,279 with the facing trim and refractory panels you choose above, and covered by Valcourt's limited lifetime warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose the St-Laurent if you want a wide, low, modern wood fire for ambiance rather than a furnace — the elongated rectangular opening is the point, and once the fire is established you can run it behind the glass or open behind the firescreen. It suits a new build or a full remodel where you are framing a chase and finishing the wall in tile, brick or stone, because the trim is matched to that finish. If you want the same door system in a taller format, the Antoinette takes 18\" logs in a compact firebox and the Frontenac 30\" logs in 9.4 cubic feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is \u003cstrong\u003enot\u003c\/strong\u003e right if you are buying it to heat the house — Valcourt rates it for under 1,000 square feet as a supplementary heat source and requires a primary heat source in the home — and it is not for a mobile home. It needs at least 15 feet of 8\" listed chimney above its base (20 feet with offsets), 84\" of clear height above the base, 48\" to anything combustible in front, and a non-combustible wall of cement board around it, so it is not a drop-in for a finished room without opening the wall. For a closed-door, high-efficiency wood fireplace that heats, look at Valcourt's EPA 2020 models such as the Lafayette II instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fireplace is 63-3\/4\" high, 63-1\/8\" wide and 31-3\/4\" deep overall and sits on a 62-5\/8\" x 31-3\/4\" footprint that usually needs no extra floor support. Frame it in 2\" x 3\" or heavier lumber with floor-to-ceiling studs, headers only where the facing and mantel need them, steel studs above the fireplace, and nothing combustible directly above it for 84\" from its base; the framing, facing-panel and corner dimensions are drawn in Figures 19 to 24 on pages 20 to 24 of the installation manual. Keep combustibles 48\" from the front, a side mantel (projecting 3\" at most) 8-1\/2\" from the door opening, and a side wall 24\" from it. A combustible shelf 6\" deep sits 48\" above the bottom of the fireplace — add 42\" to the shelf depth for deeper shelves, so 8\" at 50\", 10\" at 52\" and 12\" at 54\". Floor protection runs at least 20\" in front and 12\" past each side of the opening, 69\" x 20\" minimum, with no R-value required and a sheet-metal joint at the fireplace. The chimney is an 8\" listed system from the approved list, at least 15 feet from the bottom of the fireplace (20 feet with two or four offsets), with 2\" to combustibles, or a masonry chimney relined with an 8\" stainless liner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow the St-Laurent compares to the Antoinette and Frontenac\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eValcourt's three decorative fireplaces share the guillotine door and firescreen, the 4\" fresh-air adapter and the same choice of narrow overlap or masonry trim. The St-Laurent is the wide, linear one — 6.4 cubic feet and 30\" logs behind a 42\" pane, EPA exempt, from $8,279. The Antoinette FP7D is the compact one, 5.3 cubic feet and 18\" logs, from $6,374; the Frontenac FP11D is the largest, 9.4 cubic feet with 30\" logs, from $8,899, and both of those are EPA Phase II qualified.

The system runs at least 15 feet from the bottom of the fireplace (20 feet with two or four offsets), ideally with 18\" of straight chimney before any offset, keeps 2\" from combustibles, extends 3 feet above the roof and 2 feet above anything within 10 feet, and vents nothing else. Some brands carry mandatory extras: a ventilated roof flashing for Ventis, Nexvent and DuraTech, an attic radiation shield for Security, and no attic enclosure for American Metal.

The narrow overlap goes on last, pushed against the finished facing and screwed to the fireplace with four screws. The masonry trim goes on first — screwed to the fireplace with 16 screws before the cement board and the brick or stone are built up against its edge, and if that non-combustible material is thicker than 3\/8\" the trim is fitted before the fireplace is even set in place.

A wood fire pulls combustion air out of the house, which in a tight home can starve a gas or oil furnace, lose to a range hood and push smoke back into the room. The fireplace already carries the 4\" adapter for its left side (or the back, on the left); you add 4\" insulated HVAC flex pipe (6\" beyond 20 feet or more than two bends, 30 feet maximum) with an insulated P-trap, two clamps and an outside wall termination that draws from outdoors — never an attic, basement or garage — no higher than half the chimney height or 10 feet above the base and no lower than 3 feet below it.

Valcourt has tested the fireplace with a gas lighter of up to 27,000 BTU\/h — with the lighter burning, close the screen and keep the glass door open — and with a gas log set of up to 39,000 BTU\/h; the lighter or log set carries its own code requirements for the gas connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e2ded8;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600;cursor:pointer;text-transform:none;font-size:1em;\"\u003eDoes buying online affect my Valcourt warranty?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 4px;\"\u003eNo. The warranty is Valcourt's and applies whichever trim and panels you choose; it runs from your dated sales invoice, so keep it and register the fireplace online at valcourtinc.com with the model name and serial number from the nameplate on the back.

It is an EPA Low Mass Phase II qualified decorative fireplace — 4.2 g\/kg, about 70 percent cleaner than unqualified models — listed to ULC-S610 \/ UL 127, 60\" wide overall, venting on an 8\" chimney, from $8,899 with the facing trim and refractory panels you choose above, and covered by Valcourt's limited lifetime warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose the Frontenac if you want a big, open-looking wood fire for ambiance rather than a furnace — it is Valcourt's largest decorative fireplace, and once the fire is established you can run it behind the glass or open behind the firescreen. It suits a new build or a full remodel where you are framing a chase and finishing the wall in tile, brick or stone, because the trim is matched to that finish. If you want the same door system in a smaller firebox, the Antoinette takes 18\" logs and the St-Laurent 30\" logs in 6.4 cubic feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is \u003cstrong\u003enot\u003c\/strong\u003e right if you are buying it to heat the house — Valcourt rates it for under 1,000 square feet as a supplementary heat source and requires another heat source in the home — and it is not for a mobile home. It needs at least 18 feet of 8\" listed chimney above its base (20 feet with elbows), 7 feet of clear height above the base, 48\" to anything combustible in front, and a non-combustible wall of cement board around it, so it is not a drop-in for a finished room without opening the wall. For a closed-door, high-efficiency wood fireplace that heats, look at Valcourt's EPA 2020 models such as the Lafayette II instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fireplace is 74-3\/4\" high, 60\" wide and 36-1\/4\" deep overall and sits on a 59-3\/4\" x 30-1\/2\" footprint that usually needs no extra floor support. Frame it in 2\" x 3\" or heavier lumber with floor-to-ceiling studs, headers only where the facing and mantel need them, and nothing combustible directly above the fireplace for 7 feet from its base; the framing and corner dimensions are drawn in Figures 7 to 14 on PDF pages 20 to 25 of the installation manual. Keep combustibles 48\" from the front, a side wall or a side mantel (projecting 3\" at most) 8\" from the door opening, and the opposite side wall 20\" from it when one side is walled. A combustible shelf 6\" deep sits 52\" above the base — add 46\" to the shelf depth for deeper shelves, so 8\" at 54\", 10\" at 56\" and 12\" at 58\". Floor protection runs at least 20\" in front and 12\" past each side of the opening, 69-1\/8\" x 20\" minimum, with a sheet-metal or grout joint at the fireplace. The chimney is an 8\" listed system from the approved list, at least 18 feet from the base (20 feet with two or four elbows), with 2\" to combustibles, or a masonry chimney relined with an 8\" stainless liner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow the Frontenac compares to the Antoinette and St-Laurent\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eValcourt's three decorative fireplaces share the guillotine door and firescreen, the 4\" fresh-air adapter and the same choice of narrow overlap or masonry trim. The Frontenac is the largest — 9.4 cubic feet and 30\" logs, starting at from $8,899. The Antoinette FP7D is the compact one, 5.3 cubic feet and 18\" logs, from $6,374; the St-Laurent FP16D sits between them at 6.4 cubic feet with 30\" logs and is EPA exempt rather than Phase II qualified, from $8,279.

The narrow overlap goes on last, pushed against the finished facing and screwed to the fireplace with four supplied screws. The masonry trim goes on first — screwed to the fireplace before the cement board and the brick or stone are built up against its edge, and if that non-combustible material is thicker than 3\/8\" the trim is fitted before the fireplace is even set in place.

A wood fire pulls combustion air out of the house, which in a tight home can starve a gas or oil furnace, lose to a range hood and push smoke back into the room. The fireplace already carries the 4\" adapter on its left side (or at the back on the left); you add 4\" insulated HVAC flex pipe (6\" beyond 20 feet or more than two bends, 30 feet maximum) with an insulated P-trap, two clamps and an outside wall termination that draws from outdoors — never an attic, basement or garage — no higher than half the chimney height or 10 feet above the base and no lower than 3 feet below it. The optional intake register with airtight damper lets you close that duct when the fireplace is cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e2ded8;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600;cursor:pointer;text-transform:none;font-size:1em;\"\u003eCan I burn it with the door open, or put gas logs in it?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 4px;\"\u003eYes to both, within Valcourt's tested limits. Once the kindling fire is established you can run the fireplace behind the glass door or behind the firescreen, as you prefer, with the exhaust damper fully open the whole time it burns. Valcourt has tested the fireplace with a gas lighter of up to 27,000 BTU\/h — with the lighter burning, close the screen and keep the glass door open — and with a gas log set of up to 39,000 BTU\/h; the lighter or log set carries its own code requirements for the gas connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e2ded8;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600;cursor:pointer;text-transform:none;font-size:1em;\"\u003eDoes buying online affect my Valcourt warranty?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 4px;\"\u003eNo. The warranty is Valcourt's and applies whichever trim and panels you choose; it runs from your dated sales invoice, so keep it and register the fireplace online at valcourtinc.com with the model name and serial number from the nameplate on the back.

sides and the floor, and 80,000 BTU\/hr of heat from dry cordwood. The Valcourt Lafayette II is an EPA 2020 certified non-catalytic wood fireplace rated for 750 to 2,200 square feet at 70% optimum efficiency, with a 176 CFM blower already installed, a 37-3\/4\" x 41-5\/8\" x 24-7\/8\" framing opening, a 6\" chimney outlet, from $4,409 for the fireplace alone — the door overlay, arched faceplate and louver you choose above are required to complete it and are priced on top — and a limited lifetime warranty on the firebox.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose the Lafayette II if you want a real wood fire that also heats — 16\" logs up to 20\", burn times up to 8 hours, and an air-wash ceramic-glass door that stays closed while it runs. It is built to move heat: the blower is in the box, the top carries two 8\" openings for a gravity kit, and either side takes the forced air kit that ducts warm air up to 50 ft into another room. Pick the arched door if you want the traditional look; the square-door Lafayette IIS is the same fireplace behind a square faceplate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is \u003cstrong\u003enot\u003c\/strong\u003e right for a mobile or manufactured home, and it is not a whole-house furnace — it is a zone heater rated for 750 to 2,200 square feet, and a conventional backup heating system is still recommended. It cannot connect directly to the clay tile of a masonry chimney, needs at least 15 ft of listed 6\" chimney above its base, 80\" of clear height, and 48\" to the wall in front. In the United States it burns with the door closed: open-door burning behind a fire screen is prohibited under the particulate rules, so if you want an open fire this is not the fireplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrame the enclosure 37-3\/4\" wide, 41-5\/8\" high to the first header and 24-7\/8\" deep, in 2\" x 3\" or larger studs, with 80\" of total height and nothing combustible directly above the fireplace; widen it to 60-3\/4\" for a fresh air intake or 72-3\/4\" for the forced air kit, and see section 8.5.4 on page 36 of the installation manual for a corner installation. Clearances are 0\" at the back, sides and floor, 2\" around the chimney, 13\" from the door opening to a combustible side wall, 8\" to a side mantel no deeper than 3\", and 48\" to a wall in front. A combustible shelf 6\" deep sits 58\" above the base (8\" at 60\", 10\" at 62\", 12\" at 64\"), or 8\" lower with the optional heat shield; a non-combustible shelf sits at 48\". Floor protection is 16\" deep and 41-1\/2\" wide, 8\" past each side of the door opening, R 1.00 unless the fireplace is raised more than 4\". The chimney is a 6\" listed system from the approved list, at least 15 ft from the base to the cap (17 ft with four elbows), with 2\" to combustibles throughout. The blower wires to household power by a qualified electrician.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow the Lafayette II compares to the Lafayette IIS\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Lafayette IIS is the same firebox — the same 80,000 BTU\/hr rating, 750 to 2,200 sq ft, 2.5 cu ft firebox, 176 CFM blower, framing and clearances — behind a square door and square faceplate instead of this arched one, with its own square-frame overlays and louvers.

The gravity kits use the two 8\" openings on top of the fireplace and let hot air rise on its own into 8\" rigid galvanized duct (not included) to grilled outlets at least 68\" above the base — the Traditional kit gives you two grilles with elbows and brackets, the Modern kit a single adjustable distribution box with a decorative plate; runs are limited to 10' with two elbows per duct, never downhill, never flex duct, never tied to central heating, and outlets stay 12\" from combustibles. The forced air kit connects to the 6\" opening on either side (the left performs better) and pushes heat through insulated 6\" HVAC flex pipe to a room up to 50 ft away; it was emissions-tested and does not change the EPA rating. Running both at once lets the forced air kit draw some air away from the gravity ducts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e2ded8;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600;cursor:pointer;text-transform:none;font-size:1em;\"\u003eDoes it need an outside air supply?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 4px;\"\u003eNot by default — room air is the most reliable combustion supply for any configuration on this page, and the fresh air intake is optional. It matters in a tight house or one with a powerful kitchen exhaust that can pull the house negative. The fireplace already carries the 4\" adapter and closing plate; you add the 4\" fresh air intake kit or register, and 10' to 30' of insulated 4\" HVAC duct run from outside the house (never an attic, basement or garage), on the right side or underneath. The register goes no more than 10' above or 3' below the base of the fireplace, above the snow line and away from exhausts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e2ded8;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600;cursor:pointer;text-transform:none;font-size:1em;\"\u003eCan I burn it with the door open, like an open fireplace?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 4px;\"\u003eNot in the United States — the door stays fully closed while it burns, whichever overlay, faceplate or louver you choose. The fireplace was tested for open-door use with the optional firescreen door, but in the US, and in any Canadian province with a particulate emissions limit, open-door burning behind a rigid fire screen is prohibited. Where it is allowed, the screen must be properly secured and the fireplace is never left unattended with the door open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e2ded8;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600;cursor:pointer;text-transform:none;font-size:1em;\"\u003eDoes buying online affect my Valcourt warranty?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 4px;\"\u003eNo. The warranty is Valcourt's and applies to every configuration on this page; it runs from your dated purchase invoice, so keep it and register the fireplace online at valcourtinc.com with the model name and serial number from the nameplate on the back. The Torch Guys will help you with any claim. Coverage is a limited lifetime on the combustion chamber welds, castings, convector air-mate and ceramic glass (4 years labour, one replacement), 5 years on the stainless components, baffle and air tubes, 3 years on carbon-steel firebox parts, glass retainers and handle, 2 years on the blower and controls, and 1 year on paint, gaskets, insulation and refractory bricks. It requires installation by an authorized qualified technician and covers the original purchaser only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Valcourt","offers":[{"title":"No

Waterloo Arched Faceplate High Efficiency Wood Burning Fireplace","description":"\u003ch2\u003eValcourt Waterloo Arched Faceplate EPA 2020 Wood Burning Fireplace\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUp to 11 hours on one load, behind arched cast-iron doors. The Valcourt Waterloo Arched Faceplate (FP15A) is the largest of Valcourt's EPA 2020-certified high-efficiency wood fireplaces: a 4.28 ft³ usable firebox rated up to 95,000 BTU\/hr on dry cordwood at 70% optimum efficiency and 1.6 g\/h, for 1,000 to 2,800 square feet. It frames 50-3\/4\" wide by 26-7\/8\" deep with zero clearance to the enclosure, vents through an 8-inch Class A chimney, takes 25-inch logs, and ships with its 176 CFM variable-speed blower and patented automatic air control. Choose the louver style for the black arched faceplate above, with the classic moulded brick panels, all three priced on top; from $5,724 for the fireplace alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose the Waterloo Arched Faceplate if you want the biggest firebox in Valcourt's high-efficiency line with a softer, traditional look: the arched black faceplate carries an arched pair of 15-13\/16\" x 19\" glass panes and takes a Classic, Arabesque, Urban or Mission louver to match the room. The fire management is the same as the square-doored Waterloo — load 16-inch pieces north-south, fire the load hot, close the intake and let the automatic air control carry an overnight burn — and the 6-inch forced-air knockouts on either side take Valcourt's thermostat-controlled kit when you want heat in another room up to 50 feet away. The faceplate, louver and brick panels are required, not decorative, and each is priced on top of the fireplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is \u003cstrong\u003enot\u003c\/strong\u003e right for a small room or a home that needs a modest fire: this is a 4.28 ft³ firebox rated for 1,000 to 2,800 square feet, and its chase is 50-3\/4\" wide. It is not for a mobile home in Canada or a manufactured home in the USA, not for an alcove and not for open-door fires — the doors stay closed and there is no firescreen option. It needs 8-inch listed chimney at least 15 feet tall, an 84-inch ceiling above its base with nothing combustible over the fireplace (a shelf above it must be non-combustible and 52 inches up), and a 32-inch deep non-combustible floor in front when it sits on the floor — there is no short-flue option, it cannot sit inside a masonry fireplace, and an existing masonry chimney serves it only relined with an 8-inch stainless liner. If you want a combustible wood mantel across the top, the Waterloo does not allow one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrame the chase 50-3\/4\" wide and 26-7\/8\" deep, add the thickness of your facing, and leave the space above the fireplace empty to 84\" from its base; with the fresh-air intake add 6\" on the right and with the forced-air kit add 10\" on the side it uses. The back, sides and floor of the enclosure are zero clearance; the chimney keeps 2\". A combustible side mantle may project up to 6\" and sits at least 8\" from the door opening; a combustible side wall stays 24\" from the opening; the wall facing the fireplace stays 36\" away in the USA (48\" in Canada). Nothing combustible goes above the fireplace, and a shelf there is non-combustible and at least 52\" above the base. Floor protection is 49\" wide and 32\" deep at R 2.00 when the fireplace sits on the floor or a base under 8\"; on a base over 8\" it is 16\" deep, on a base between 8\" and 12\" it is 20\" deep at R 1.00, and over 12\" it is 16\" deep with no R-value. The chimney is an 8\" CAN\/ULC S629 \/ UL 103 HT system from the approved list on an 8\" anchor plate — at least 15 feet from the base to the top and at least one support; Valcourt recommends 18\" of straight pipe before the first offset but also approves starting with a 30° or 45° elbow. The blower and the automatic air control are wired to a 110-120 V circuit by an electrician; in a power failure the air supply closes by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFP15A vs. the square-doored Waterloo FP15\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Waterloo FP15 is the same fireplace under a different face: the same 4.28 ft³ firebox, 95,000 BTU\/hr rating, 11-hour burn, 8-inch chimney, blower and framing. The FP15 takes the black Crown style faceplate with rectangular 15-3\/4\" x 16-5\/16\" glass panes and needs only the faceplate and brick panels — from $5,834 for the fireplace alone before those two — while the Arched Faceplate adds arched 15-13\/16\" x 19\" panes and a choice of four louvers, from $5,724 here before its three.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEPA 2020-certified non-catalytic firebox: 1.6 g\/h emissions, 70% optimum efficiency, up to 95,000 BTU\/hr on dry cordwood and up to 11 hours per load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArched cast-iron double doors with 15-13\/16\" x 19\" arched ceramic-glass panes, and a choice of four louver styles on the black arched faceplate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e176 CFM variable-speed blower is in the box, already wired behind the faceplate with AUTO and manual modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.28 ft³ usable firebox takes 25-inch logs (16-inch recommended, loaded north-south) and is rated for 1,000 to 2,800 ft²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZero clearance to the enclosure at the back, sides and floor; frames 50-3\/4\" wide x 26-7\/8\" deep under an 84-inch open chase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReady for Valcourt's 5-inch fresh-air intake (adapter and block-off plate in the box), the forced-air kit on either side and the warm-air circulation grille\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"text-transform:none\"\u003eAnswers to common questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails open style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e2ded8;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600;cursor:pointer;text-transform:none;font-size:1em;\"\u003eWhat chimney does the Waterloo Arched Faceplate need, and is any of it included?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 4px;\"\u003eNone of the chimney is in the box.

A bent continuous metal strip protects the joint between the protection and the fireplace, and it is not supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e2ded8;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600;cursor:pointer;text-transform:none;font-size:1em;\"\u003eWhat’s included, what’s required, and what’s optional?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded in the box:\u003c\/strong\u003e The fireplace body with its C-Cast baffle and four stainless secondary air tubes, inner ash retainer and ash lip; 176 CFM variable-speed blower with rheostat and AUTO\/MAN switch, mounted behind the faceplate at the bottom; Double arched cast-iron doors with 4 mm ceramic glass; Automatic air control with its auxiliary lever, plus the side and back standoffs with their screws in the owner's manual kit; 5-inch fresh-air adapter, air-inlet block-off plate and screws (for the optional fresh-air intake); EPA 2020 certification, ULC S610 \/ UL 127 listing and the Valcourt limited lifetime warranty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRequired to complete the installation, purchased separately:\u003c\/strong\u003e Faceplate and Louver - the black arched faceplate and faceplate louver, one of the four louver styles, chosen above; the fireplace cannot be finished or run without a faceplate installed; Brick Panels - the classic moulded refractory brick panels that line the firebox, chosen above; they arrive in their own box and go in after the fireplace is set; Venting - an 8\" listed factory-built chimney from the approved list (see pg 61 in the installation manual) or a lined masonry chimney; Floor Protection - a continuous non-combustible surface 49 inches wide and 32 inches deep in front of the fireplace at R 2.00 when it sits on the floor (16 to 20 inches deep on a raised base, see the options table in section 6.3.5, page 40, of the installation manual), with a bent metal strip at the joint; Electrical - a 110-120 V circuit for the included blower and the automatic air control, wired by a qualified electrician with the ground on the fireplace frame.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptional:\u003c\/strong\u003e The forced-air kit with its 6-inch insulated flex pipe, the 5-inch fresh-air intake termination, register and insulated pipe, the warm-air circulation grille and ROBAX NightFlame glass — the fireplace burns wood fully without any of them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e2ded8;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600;cursor:pointer;text-transform:none;font-size:1em;\"\u003eIs the blower included, and does the fireplace need electricity?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 4px;\"\u003eThe 176 CFM variable-speed blower is included, already mounted at the bottom of the fireplace behind the faceplate with its rheostat and AUTO\/MAN switch; in AUTO it starts when the fireplace is warm and stops when it cools. The fireplace needs a 110-120 V, 60 Hz circuit run by a qualified electrician, with the ground on the fireplace frame — it powers the blower and the patented automatic air control that trims the burn once you close the primary intake. In a power failure the fire keeps burning: you close the air supply by hand with the small lever, and only the blower and the automatic trimming stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e2ded8;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600;cursor:pointer;text-transform:none;font-size:1em;\"\u003eDo I need an outside air kit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 4px;\"\u003eValcourt does not require one unless your local code, or a Novo Climate or R2000 home, calls for it — but it strongly recommends one, and the fireplace ships with the 5-inch adapter, block-off plate and screws for it. To connect outside air you add an insulated 5-inch HVAC-class duct at least 10 feet long with a P-trap loop (at most 30 feet; 6-inch pipe beyond 20 feet or more than two bends), the outside wall termination with its clamps, and the register with an airtight damper that Valcourt strongly recommends, so the intake closes when the fire is out. The intake connects on the right side of the fireplace or under it on the right, and the termination goes outside above the snow line, away from exhausts, no more than 10 feet above or 3 feet below the base of the fireplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e2ded8;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600;cursor:pointer;text-transform:none;font-size:1em;\"\u003eHow long does it burn, and what size wood does it take?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 4px;\"\u003eUp to 11 hours on a full load of dry cordwood, in Valcourt's rating. The firebox holds 4.28 ft³ of usable volume and takes logs up to 25 inches loaded east-west, but the fireplace is designed to burn best with 16-inch pieces loaded north-south — ends facing you — five to eight at a time on a raked coal bed. Fire each load hot with the air fully open, then close the primary intake and let the automatic control carry the burn; the auxiliary lever picks low or medium heat. Burn only seasoned wood at 15 to 20% moisture — the warranty is void on anything but cordwood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e2ded8;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600;cursor:pointer;text-transform:none;font-size:1em;\"\u003eDoes buying from The Torch Guys affect my Valcourt warranty?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 4px;\"\u003eNo. Valcourt's limited lifetime warranty covers products bought through an authorized Valcourt dealer, and The Torch Guys is one — we register the appliance and, if you ever need to claim, we deal with the manufacturer on your behalf. The combustion-chamber welds, castings and ceramic glass are covered for life on parts (one replacement) with 4 years of labour; the C-Cast baffle and secondary air tubes 5 years; the blower and its controls 2 years; gaskets, paint and firebrick 1 year. It applies to the original purchaser, requires installation by a qualified technician, and is void if anything but cordwood is burned. Keep your invoice and the serial number from the plate on the back; we hold the rest on file.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Valcourt","offers":[{"title":"No Thanks (no faceplate) \/ No Thanks (no brick panels) \/ No Thanks (no faceplate louver)","offer_id":55307956715799,"sku":"FP15A","price":5724.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"No Thanks (no faceplate) \/ No Thanks (no brick panels) \/ Classic Style +$330","offer_id":55307956748567,"sku":"FP15A, VA15L06","price":6054.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"No Thanks (no faceplate) \/ No Thanks (no brick panels) \/ Arabesque Style +$440","offer_id":55307956781335,"sku":"FP15A, VA15L07","price":6164.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"No Thanks (no faceplate) \/ No Thanks (no brick panels) \/ Urban Style +$440","offer_id":55307956814103,"sku":"FP15A, VA15L08","price":6164.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"No Thanks (no faceplate) \/ No Thanks (no brick panels) \/ Mission Style +$440","offer_id":55307956846871,"sku":"FP15A, VA15L09","price":6164.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"No Thanks (no faceplate) \/ Classic Moulded Brick Panels +$650 \/ No Thanks (no faceplate louver)","offer_id":55307956879639,"sku":"FP15A, AC02360","price":6374.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Arched Faceplate +$715 \/ No Thanks (no brick panels) \/ No Thanks (no faceplate louver)","offer_id":55307956912407,"sku":"FP15A, VA15FA07","price":6439.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"No Thanks (no faceplate) \/ Classic Moulded Brick Panels +$650 \/ Classic Style +$330","offer_id":55307956945175,"sku":"FP15A, AC02360, VA15L06","price":6704.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Arched Faceplate +$715 \/ No Thanks (no brick panels) \/ Classic Style +$330","offer_id":55307956977943,"sku":"FP15A, VA15FA07, VA15L06","price":6769.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"No Thanks (no faceplate) \/ Classic Moulded Brick Panels +$650 \/ Arabesque Style +$440","offer_id":55307957010711,"sku":"FP15A, AC02360, VA15L07","price":6814.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"No Thanks (no faceplate) \/ Classic Moulded Brick Panels +$650 \/ Urban Style +$440","offer_id":55307957043479,"sku":"FP15A, AC02360, VA15L08","price":6814.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"No Thanks (no faceplate) \/ Classic Moulded Brick Panels +$650 \/ Mission Style +$440","offer_id":55307957076247,"sku":"FP15A, AC02360, VA15L09","price":6814.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Arched Faceplate +$715 \/ No Thanks (no brick panels) \/ Arabesque Style +$440","offer_id":55307957109015,"sku":"FP15A, VA15FA07, VA15L07","price":6879.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Arched Faceplate +$715 \/ No Thanks (no brick panels) \/ Urban Style +$440","offer_id":55307957141783,"sku":"FP15A, VA15FA07, VA15L08","price":6879.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Arched Faceplate +$715 \/ No Thanks (no brick panels) \/ Mission Style +$440","offer_id":55307957174551,"sku":"FP15A, VA15FA07, VA15L09","price":6879.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Arched Faceplate +$715 \/ Classic Moulded Brick Panels +$650 \/ No Thanks (no faceplate louver)","offer_id":55307957207319,"sku":"FP15A, VA15FA07, AC02360","price":7089.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Arched Faceplate +$715 \/ Classic Moulded Brick Panels +$650 \/ Classic Style +$330","offer_id":55307957240087,"sku":"FP15A, VA15FA07, AC02360, VA15L06","price":7419.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Arched Faceplate +$715 \/ Classic Moulded Brick Panels +$650 \/ Arabesque Style +$440","offer_id":55307957272855,"sku":"FP15A, VA15FA07, AC02360, VA15L07","price":7529.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Arched Faceplate +$715 \/ Classic Moulded Brick Panels +$650 \/ Urban Style +$440","offer_id":55307957305623,"sku":"FP15A, VA15FA07, AC02360, VA15L08","price":7529.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Arched Faceplate +$715 \/ Classic Moulded Brick Panels +$650 \/ Mission Style +$440","offer_id":55307957338391,"sku":"FP15A, VA15FA07, AC02360, VA15L09","price":7529.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/7719\/4519\/files\/valcourt-waterloo-arched-faceplate-high-efficiency-wood-burning-fireplace-with-classic-moulded-brick-panels-black-arched-faceplate-and-with-classic-style-faceplate-louver-lifestyle.jpg?v=1790265413"}],"url":"https:\/\/thetorchguys.com\/collections\/valcourt-fireplaces.oembed","provider":"The Torch Guys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
