I have a wall 23 feet long, will this fireplace be the right size?
1 Answer
The correct size to order will be based on more than the width of the wall and other factors should be taken into consideration as the overall size of the hearth with surrounding finishing materials like any stone or tile in place, ceiling height, and furniture placement if you are mainly concerned with aesthetics and not heating capacity. I will say that the larger viewing area of this or the 46" version of the fireplace would be a better option along a wider wall than a smaller 36" model, but this may not be the case based on the several other factors I've listed. Also, the width and height of the viewing glass for the 42" model is roughly 23" H x 38" wide, but the overall size of what will be visible after finishing which would include some of the black metal facing is where the 42" measurement comes into play (with a height of 34 5/8"). I recommend customers cut out a section of cardboard or poster board in the same width and height measurements of whichever fireplace they are considering and place this on the wall where the fireplace will be positioned. Since you like the B42 Ascent, please follow this link and also consider the specifications for the B46 version.

What's the difference between the "Napoleon B42 Ascent MV Fireplace, Porcelain Panels, Trim Kit, Natural Gas" and the "Napoleon B42 Ascent Builder Series 42" Direct Vet Fireplace - Electric Ignition"
1 Answer
The "MV" fireplace will have a standing pilot that will need to be lilt manually via a push button spark ignitor and the pilot knob on the valve. This system may be used with a wall switch, a wired or wireless wall thermostat, or an On/Off remote system. This will simply turn the burner flame Off and On. The same accessories may be added to the Electronic Ignition version, but this model provides automatic spark ignition of the pilot via 110v stepped down to 6v with a transformer and control module. While 110v would need to be supplied to this model, it will also have a battery backup that will provide functionality in the event of a power outage.
