    James H.
    from Green Valley, AZ asked:
    January 31, 2023
    You list the framing dimensions as 43 3/8" W  x  37 3/4" H  x  19 7/8" D but I notice that there is a taper toward the rear. Is the extra space necessary, and if not, what are the actual length and width numbers?
    1 Answer
    This unit does taper towards the rear, but the framing dimensions are listed as 43 3/8" W  x  37 3/4" H  x  19 7/8" D from the manufacturer, regardless. You can see the dimensions on page 14 of this manual.

    How is the blower controlled? I want to use a standing pilot with an on/off switch.  Is the control for the blower included?
    1 Answer
    The blower turns on and off automatically via the connected temperature switch.  You can control the speed of the fan with the included rheostat/dimmer switch.  This would be separate from the on/off toggle switch to control the fireplace.

    I want to purchase this item in NATURAL GAS with the battery operated remote with thermostat. I also want a PROPANE CONVERSION KIT just in case of future changes. Is one available for this unit, and how much is it if available?
    1 Answer
    That unit is not convertible from one gas type to another. They do not make such a kit for that unit.

    Does this unit have the standing pilot?
    1 Answer
    Yes, this model does have a standing pilot/millivolt ignition. However, the same fireplace model is available with an electronic ignition/intermittent pilot instead, if you prefer. This is offered as either a basic upgrade to the IPI system or an advanced RF model that includes both the blower and a remote control, which controls the flame height and fan speed.
