About This Product

Napoleon Havelock Elite GDS50-2 Direct Vent Gas Stove

40,000 BTU/hr input on natural gas and 39,000 on propane, with the blower and a Proflame II remote control included. The Napoleon Havelock Elite GDS50-2 is a black direct vent gas stove 28-1/2" wide, with a PHAZER split oak log set, MIRRO-FLAME porcelain reflective panels, a square glass door with safety barrier, electronic ignition with battery backup and a top vent on 4" / 7" pipe, from $3,899, covered by Napoleon's President's Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Choose the Havelock Elite if you want a traditional-looking stove that comes ready to run: the blower and the remote are in the box, and you pick the base it stands on — a pedestal or feet — and a square or arched glass door. It is approved for bedrooms and bathrooms, and the natural gas model for permanently located manufactured homes. It can vent through a wall, up through the roof, or into an existing chimney with the B-vent adaptor kit.

It is not right for you if you want a modern, minimalist stove. The Havelock Elite is a traditional-looking stove that comes ready to run, with the blower and remote in the box and the base and door you choose.

Specifications

The Havelock Elite is 28-1/2" wide, 21-1/2" deep and 34-3/4" high on the pedestal, with a 20-3/4" x 12-21/32" viewing area. Keep 20" from the top of the stove to the ceiling and furniture 48" from the front; the wall and corner clearances are in section 3.1 on page 28 of the installation manual. 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 Elite compares to the Napoleon Havelock

The original Havelock GDS50 runs on the same top 4" / 7" venting and also includes a blower — up to 44,000 BTU/hr against the Elite's 40,000, with a choice of millivolt or electronic ignition, and a door in metallic black or satin chrome that is bought separately; remotes are extra. The Elite includes a square glass door, a Proflame II remote, an oak log set and porcelain panels, and adds the base instead. The Havelock Elite starts from $3,899; the Havelock starts from $4,429.

Answers to common questions

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

The vent pipe and termination are sold separately; the stove comes with its firestop. It vents through 4" exhaust / 7" intake coaxial direct vent pipe from a top exit — out through a wall on Napoleon's GD-222R round wall terminal, up through the roof, or up a masonry chimney on a 3" co-linear liner — up to 20 ft horizontally or 40 ft vertically. Wolf Steel, Metal-Fab, BDM, Simpson DuraVent, Selkirk Direct Temp and ICC pipe is approved; Metal-Fab, DuraVent, Selkirk and ICC pipe connect through their specified starter adaptor. It can also vent into an existing B-vent chimney with Napoleon's B-vent adaptor kit; see section 3.2 on page 34 of the installation manual. We can put the vent package together for your run.

What comes with it, and what else do I need?

Whichever door and base you choose, every Havelock Elite ships with its PHAZER split oak log set, MIRRO-FLAME porcelain panels, the safety barrier and magnetic handle, the blower, a Proflame II remote control with battery backup, and the firestop. The square glass door comes on the stove; the arched one is an add-on. You still need the pedestal or feet, the vent pipe and termination, a gas line, a grounded outlet, and a metal or wood floor panel if it goes on carpet or vinyl. The arched glass door and the wall mount control are optional.

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

The wall and corner clearances are in section 3.1 on page 28 of the installation manual. Keep 20" from the top of the stove to the ceiling and 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.

Can it go in a bedroom, a bathroom or a mobile home?

Yes. Vented direct, it is approved for bedrooms, bathrooms and bed-sitting rooms; set up for B-vent it is approved for bedrooms and bed-sitting rooms. On natural gas it is also approved for a permanently located manufactured (mobile) home fueled with natural gas, where local codes allow; there it must be fastened in place with a securing kit. That approval covers the natural gas model only.

Can I run it on propane?

Yes. The stove is built and shipped for natural gas; choosing Propane above adds Napoleon's natural gas to propane conversion kit, which a qualified installer fits. On propane it is rated 39,000 BTU/hr input. Above 2,000 ft it is de-rated with Napoleon's certified high altitude kit.

Does buying online 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 and remote 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.
