Kingsman IDV34 34" Direct Vent Fireplace Insert

Minimum Fireplace Opening: 28-5/8 in. W (front) x 21-1/2 in. H x 17-3/4 in. D, 21-1/4 in. back width

The Kingsman IDV34 (also sold as the Marquis Capri 34) is a direct vent gas insert that turns an existing wood-burning fireplace into a sealed, efficient gas fire. It is built for the classic NYC and Long Island situation: a masonry or factory-built wood fireplace that is drafty, messy or no longer used. Two 3 in. flex liners run up the existing chimney, a heat-activated blower comes standard, and a wide choice of Clean View fronts, liners and media lets it match a traditional or modern room.

Installation Notes

The IDV34 installs in a code-compliant masonry solid fuel fireplace or a listed zero clearance factory-built wood fireplace; the damper plate, grates, doors and screen rails may need to be removed, but refractory must not be removed from a masonry fireplace. Two 3 in. flex liners run up the existing flue to a co-linear rain cap, and the chimney must not also serve a wood-burning appliance. Measure the opening carefully: it needs at least 28-5/8 in. at the front, 21-1/4 in. at the back, 21-1/2 in. high and 17-3/4 in. deep. Installation must be done by a qualified, licensed gas installer. In New York City, converting a wood fireplace to gas is done under the NYC Fuel Gas Code by a licensed plumber, with chimney work and DOB filing where required. We measure and confirm fit during a fireplace consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the IDV34 fit my fireplace?

Your opening needs at least 28-5/8 in. wide at the front, 21-1/4 in. at the back, 21-1/2 in. high and 17-3/4 in. deep (26-7/8 in. front width and 15-3/4 in. depth with the Clean View 6 front). For larger openings, Kingsman makes the IDV44.

Is a blower included?

Yes. A heat-activated blower with variable speed control is standard. On Proflame II models the blower and lights do not run on battery backup, but the fire does.

Can I use it in an NYC brownstone or co-op?

Often, yes. A direct vent insert is a common way to convert an existing wood fireplace in the city, provided the chimney can take the liners and a licensed plumber files the gas work. Building approval may also be required.

Do I need to buy logs separately?

Yes. Media is required, so choose a log set or glass and rock media through the IDV34 media options listing.
