Majestic Echelon II 60" Linear Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
The Majestic Echelon II 60" is a linear direct vent gas fireplace with IntelliFire Touch electronic ignition, battery backup, dimmable LED lights and the IFT-RC400 remote included: up to 50,000 BTU/hr input on natural gas or 37,500 on propane, bronze glass media standard, a 72-1/4" wide, 48" high and 18-1/4" deep framed opening and DVP top venting, from $8,359. It is finished with a decorative front, with Clean Face trim in four finishes or a black Picture Frame front.
Choose the Echelon II 60" if you want a linear fire you can restyle: bronze glass is standard, diamond, onyx or sapphire crushed glass or natural stones can replace it, and a Driftwood log set and a reflective black glass liner kit are available. The LED lights that illuminate the glass media are dimmable from the included remote, it frames with only 1" of clearance at the back and sides and no raised hearth, and it is certified for bedrooms.
It is not right for you if you want a traditional fireplace with a brick-look interior. The Echelon II 60" is a clean linear design that sets its flames over a bed of glass lit by dimmable LED lights.
Specifications
The framed opening is 72-1/4" wide, 48" high and 18-1/4" deep, and the fireplace itself is 70" wide, 47-3/4" high and 17-1/8" deep, with a 59-1/2" x 12-1/2" glass. Keep 1" of clearance at the back and sides and 31" from the top of the opening to the ceiling, and no raised hearth is needed. The non-combustible facing board ships with the fireplace. Mantel clearance depends on the mantel's depth and is charted in Figure 10.13 on page 71 of the installation manual, with a separate chart in Figure 10.14 for the Passive Heat Kit. It takes a 1/2" gas line and an unswitched 110-120 VAC circuit.

Answers to common questions
What venting does the Echelon II 60" need?
It vents off the top only, on Hearth & Home Technologies DVP direct vent pipe, out through a wall or up through the roof: straight up from 2-1/2 ft to 50 ft with no elbows, or up to 63 ft of total run with elbows, of which up to 24 ft can be horizontal, and no more than three 90-degree elbows. It needs 18" of vertical pipe off the top before any elbow. An exhaust restrictor comes with it for tall vertical runs. It is also approved for the PVLP-SLP, PVI-SLP-B and PVV-SLP power vents with a power vent wire harness and the included IFT-RC400 remote, though a power vent cannot be used with a wall switch. Our team builds the vent package for your run; the approved parts are on pages 79 to 86 of the installation manual and the termination clearances on pages 28 to 30.

Optional: A wireless wall switch, Wi-Fi module or battery backup wall switch, the reflective black glass liner kit, heat management and the Driftwood log set; the fireplace operates without any of them.
How much glass or stone do I need if I change the media?
The bronze glass ships with the fireplace. To change it, the 60" takes 6 bags of crushed glass or 3 bags of natural stones, and choosing one above adds the right number of bags. If you add the Driftwood log set with stones, it takes 1 bag of stones. Glass goes in a single layer on the base pan and never in front of the pilot.
How is it controlled?
The IFT-RC400 IntelliFire Touch remote comes with it, paired at the factory, and adjusts the flame height and the LED lights. You can add the IFT-RC150 wireless wall switch, the Wi-Fi module for the IntelliFire app, or a battery backup wall switch; a hard-wired wall switch limits what the remote can do. The Heat-Zone kit also runs from the RC400. Battery backup keeps the fireplace lighting in a power outage, though the lights do not run on battery.
Can I mount a TV above it?
Yes, with planning. Majestic's good faith guideline for a TV on the wall is the underside of a combustible mantel at least 27" above the top of the opening (18" if the mantel is non-combustible), the TV 2" to 3" above the mantel, and the mantel projecting 2-1/2" beyond the face of the TV. For a TV recessed into the wall, the underside of a combustible mantel below it sits at least 46" above the top of the opening, with the TV 2" to 3" above that mantel. With the optional Passive Heat Kit no mantel is needed: 12" from the opening to the bottom of the TV and 4" from the top of the TV to the discharge opening (Figure 10.19 on page 73). The kit goes in with the fireplace, while its top is accessible. Always stay within your TV maker's own temperature limits.
Where can it be installed?
Inside a framed wall, with 1" of clearance at the back and sides, 31" from the top of the opening to the ceiling and 48" clear in front. It can sit directly on a wood or metal floor, but not on carpet, vinyl or tile, with no raised hearth, or be raised off the floor on a platform. It is certified for bedrooms and bedsitting rooms, and may be installed as an OEM installation in a manufactured or mobile home. Adhesive vinyl flooring is not recommended. Rated input is for 0 to 2,000 ft and is reduced 4% per 1,000 ft above that in the USA.
What gas and electrical connections does it need?
It takes a 1/2" gas line to the shut-off valve and flex connector that come with it, plus an unswitched 110-120 VAC circuit wired with 14-2 AWG with ground to the junction box. Inlet pressure is 5" to 10" w.c. on natural gas and 11" to 13" w.c. on propane. It ships for natural gas; choosing Propane above adds the LPK-ECHEL60 conversion kit, which a qualified technician installs.
