What Is Included and What You Will Need
- Dimplex SPK42 Vital Spark firebox with logs, ember bed, remote control and plug kit
- You will need: a framed opening or existing fireplace at least the minimum opening size, and a 120 V, 15 A circuit (dedicated preferred) or a licensed electrician for a hardwired connection
Optional Accessories
- Other sizes: Vital Spark 28 in, Vital Spark 33 in, Vital Spark 36 in
Installation Notes
Frame or prepare an opening at least the minimum size above, seal drafts and vents if it is an existing fireplace, then set the firebox flush with the front face of the opening and secure it to the framing with screws. Hardwire with a 15 A, 120 V supply and an SPST switch where required, or use the included plug kit; Dimplex prefers a dedicated circuit.
In New York City, a plug-in electric fireplace needs no gas line, venting or permit, which is why it suits apartments; a hardwired connection or a new circuit should be done by a licensed electrician.
