- Will it fit my existing fireplace?
- Measure the firebox front width, back width, height and depth. You need at least 33 inches at the front, 22 inches at the back, 19 1/2 inches tall and 14 1/4 inches deep, or the insert will not seat.
- Does it need electricity to run?
- No. The millivolt system runs on a standing pilot and a thermopile, so the burner works during a power outage. You lose any blower or remote that needs household power.
- Can I use a wall thermostat or remote?
- Only with millivolt-compatible accessories wired to the valve. There is no built-in thermostat, and standard electronic remotes will not work with this valve.
- What venting does it require?
- A DV co-linear system, meaning two flexible liners running up the existing chimney, one for intake air and one for exhaust. This is a sealed direct-vent appliance and cannot vent into the room.
- What media comes with it?
- Glass media and logs are both listed, so you can dress the firebox either way. Check the box contents with the seller if you want one specific look.
- Is it hard to install?
- It is a job for a qualified gas installer. Running co-linear liners down a chimney, connecting propane and checking the millivolt valve are not DIY tasks.
