Description

The Napoleon B81NG-1 is the glass embers configured burner assembly for the Napoleon High Definition 81 (HD81) direct vent gas fireplace. It replaces or converts the burner and fire bed so the HD81 burns over a bed of glass embers instead of logs or rocks.

This is a factory configuration part, not a standalone appliance. It is for owners and installers who are building an HD81 with a contemporary glass look, or changing the media on an existing HD81.

Installation Notes

The B81NG-1 is a gas component and must be installed by a qualified installer using the HD81 installation manual, with a leak test and burner check afterward. Confirm the fuel type on the rating plate before ordering, since NG and LP parts are not interchangeable. In New York City, gas work must be done by a licensed plumber. Book a design consultation to confirm the right configuration for your HD81.
