Napoleon lv38n-1 Direct Vent Gas Fireplace 30000 Btu/h

Product Description

The NAPOLEON lv38n-1 is a single-sided, electronic ignition direct vent gas fireplace in the Vector Series. It runs on natural gas or propane and delivers up to 30,000 BTU/h of radiant heat. The unit measures 53.31 inches wide, 41.19 inches tall, and 19.89 inches deep, making it suited for larger wall installations where visual impact and heating performance both matter. It features a Divinity flame pattern, a Night Light system, and Mirro Flame porcelain reflective radiant panels that amplify flame appearance. Installation requires a 5x8-inch direct vent termination. Licensed fireplace or HVAC technicians are the typical installing trade.

The lv38n-1 is designed for residential installations, including mobile homes, where mobile home approval is required by code. The direct vent configuration draws combustion air from outside and exhausts through a sealed coaxial or co-linear flue, keeping indoor air quality unaffected. The electronic ignition valve eliminates the need for a standing pilot, reducing gas consumption during idle periods. This fireplace suits living rooms, great rooms, and open-concept spaces where a wide, landscape-format firebox is specified by the designer or homeowner.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed fireplace installer or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with the appliance manufacturer instructions, local building codes, and NFPA 54 or NFPA 58 as applicable for natural gas or propane fuel type. Shut off the gas supply at the service valve and verify zero pressure before making any gas connections.
