Installation Notes
The EX42PTEL needs a propane line regulated to 11 in. to 13 in. w.c., 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. In New York City, gas fireplaces are installed under the NYC Fuel Gas Code by a licensed plumber with DOB filing where required, and propane use inside NYC buildings is tightly restricted, so most city projects use the natural gas model. We can review your project during a fireplace design consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this unit be converted to natural gas?
Napoleon offers a fuel conversion kit, (C)EX36/42, for the Elevation X. If you have natural gas service, order the EX42NTEL natural gas model instead so the burner is factory set.
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.
Can I mount a TV above it?
Yes, with planning. The Dynamic Heat Control kit reduces mantel and TV clearances by redirecting heat. Follow the mantel chart in the installation manual for the 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.

Warranty
Napoleon President's Limited Lifetime Warranty: the combustion chamber, heat exchanger, burner, logs and embers, ceramic glass (thermal breakage), plated parts and porcelain components are covered for as long as the original purchaser owns the fireplace, with parts replaced free for the first 10 years and at 50% of retail after that. Electrical components and wearable parts (blower, gas valve, switches, wiring, remote, ignitor, gaskets, pilot assembly) are covered for one year, and warranty labour is covered for the first year through an authorized Napoleon dealer.
