    Is there any way to make the flame higher than the highest setting?


    1 Answer

    If the knob is on the highest setting, that is as much flame as you will get.  One factor that could slightly diminish flame height is insufficient gas pressure.

    Can I place our TV above this fireplace as is?


    1 Answer
    No, if you want to install a television above this unit, we would recommend either placing it above a mantel (which would need to be installed to the proper clearance requirements) or recessing the television in the wall above the noncombustible area required around the fireplace.  Please note, however, that no television manufacturer will honor the warranty if the unit suffers heat damage from a fireplace.

    Is a mantle required if you put a tv above the fireplace?  May be a silly question, but we have been told that a mantle is not required.
    1 Answer
    While a mantel is not required, it is recommend simply because it can act as a shield to prevent excess heat from reaching the bottom of the television.  One alternative is to recess the television into a wall cavity above the unit.

    I am planning to mount a TV above the fireplace.  What is the required clearance from the top of the fireplace to the bottom of the TV?
    1 Answer
    There is no specific clearance requirement between the fireplace and a TV, as there's no particular way to test for that outside the general clearances to combustibles.  It is recommended that a mantel be installed between the unit and a TV.  Below, I've linked an article written by one of our technicians that gives some insight into installation of a fireplace with a TV mounted above:

    Does this fireplace require air from the outside? Does this fireplace include a blower? What are the dimensions (43" W x ?H x ?D) for both the fireplace and outside trim?
    1 Answer
    This unit does not require external combustion air, however it must be installed into a room that meets the volume requirements. These requirements are outlined in the manual. Because this is a smooth face model, it does not have provisions for a blower. The physical opening on this unit is 16 inches tall by 43 inches wide. The framing dimensions are 53 1/4 inches wide, 38 inches tall, and 15 1/4 inches deep. The optional decorative trims measure 58 5/8" wide x 30 9/16" tall x 1 1/8" deep.

    A nice looking firebox that is well built...
    The box came well packaged and for the most part pretty simple basic install. Quality of the metal and painting is strong. While my guess is I just got one that had a very very very small leak in the installed gas lines. it created some extra work and stress to figure out. It appeared to be a clear mistake and poor quality control where a line had a small kink. ...a very small kink and very very small leak. My guess is it did not leak when they tested but with shipping it worked loose a bit. Anyway I would still for sure say YES to this product.

    Other... the remote has too many buttons on it for other models where this model needs a very simple on off for flame and light... with the vary levels... but again understand the universal remote. And finally while I have not adjusted yet or tried the out of the box flame variance from high to low is more minimal than you might wish for but again there for sure is a difference and maybe it is just the way it is. Again I would buy the product again.

    This was my first install of this firebox and you learn and assume things that you don't know. Truth is if there was a better video or ratings/reviews or pics to see online before Purchase I would have had less assuming and more knowing.

    nice heavy well made box...

    The fireplace arrived in a timely manner. It was packaged well and relatively easy to install. They anticipated every possible installation challenge with clear instructions.
    It heats two rooms (with conversion package) at one time and is visually stunning; you are able to look into the other room. Great price. None, yet...

    Very Cool Looking Fireplace
    We just had this fireplace installed in our new construction by our builder. It hasn't been connected yet to the gas lines so we greatly anticipate its ambiance. Up to this point, I can give a 5-star for the aesthetics and for the speed it was delivered. I will return to give my overall thoughts on the whole fireplace experience in a couple of months. Thanks.
