Napoleon BX42PTRE Ascent X Direct Vent Gas Fireplace 42in

Product Description

The NAPOLEON BX42PTRE is a 42-inch direct vent propane gas fireplace built for permanent residential installation. It delivers 30,000 BTU/h of heat output through a full-width firebox with a clean-faced design. Hand-painted premium split oak logs sit over a glowing ember bed, giving the fire a realistic appearance. The unit ships with a blower, night light, and remote control. A premium safety barrier is included as standard equipment. Licensed gas technicians and fireplace installation specialists are the intended installers for this appliance.

The BX42PTRE is designed for residential applications where a 42-inch direct vent gas fireplace can be framed into a wall or built-in enclosure. The direct vent system draws combustion air from outside and exhausts directly to the exterior, making it suitable for tight construction and energy-efficient builds. The clean-faced design allows it to fit into contemporary or traditional room settings. Optional accessories include decorative fronts, trims, backer panels, and enhancement kits such as beach fire, shore fire, and miner rocks configurations. The eFire remote app adds mobile device control capability.
