Napoleon Elevation X 36 Direct Vent Propane Gas Fireplace

Overall Dimensions: 38-3/4 in. W x 44 in. H x 22 in. D

The Napoleon Elevation X 36 (EX36PTEL) is the propane version of Napoleon's traditional direct vent gas fireplace, with a deep firebox, Ultra High Definition logs and a glowing electric ember bed that reads like a real wood fire. It is built for homes on a propane tank, and at 36 inches it suits living rooms, dens and bedrooms where a 42 would overwhelm the wall. A heat circulating blower and a Bluetooth-ready remote come standard, and each package on this page includes your choice of log set and interior panel.

Installation Notes

The EX36PTEL needs a regulated propane supply (11 to 13 in. w.c. inlet), a 115V outlet and a 5 in. / 8 in. direct vent run to an exterior wall or roof. Follow the published framing dimensions, keep finishing materials outside the finishing flange, and observe the mantel chart; the Dynamic Heat Control kit lets you lower mantel and TV clearances. Keep furniture and objects at least 4 ft from the front. Installation must be done by a qualified, licensed gas installer. Propane use inside buildings is tightly restricted in New York City, so city projects normally use the natural gas EX36NTEL; this propane model is meant for homes on a tank, typically outside the five boroughs. We can review your space during a fireplace design consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the log set included?

The fireplace requires a log set to be complete. Every option on this page includes one: Birch, Split Oak or Driftwood, along with the interior panel you select.

Why is the propane rating lower than natural gas?

Napoleon rates the EX36PTEL at 34,000 BTU/h on propane and the EX36NTEL at 37,000 BTU/h on natural gas. The flame picture, logs and ember bed are the same.

Can I mount a TV above it?

Yes, with planning. The Dynamic Heat Control kit reduces mantel and TV clearances by redirecting heat, and the recess frame can be backed with 3/4 in. plywood for TV mounting hardware. Follow the mantel chart in the installation manual for final heights.

Does it work in a power outage?

The fire can run on battery backup. The blower and electric ember bed need household power.
