What Is Included and What You Will Need

  • Included: fireplace with log set, glowing embers, 15 ft of two-conductor wire, vent restrictors and cover plates, rear flue cover, non-combustible board and brackets, hood and the Vista Black facade FVFBK40T with barrier screen, per the manual
  • Included and required: the Superior Vista Black facade FVFBK40T (cat. no. F5026) with its barrier screen, which the DRT2000-E manual and Superior brochure state ships with this fireplace and must be installed before operation. Optional premium upgrades, sold separately: Reflection Black FRBK40T, Reflection Warm Chestnut FRWC40T, Craftsman Black FCBK40T or Craftsman Warm Chestnut FCWC40T.
  • Required: Secure Vent 4.5 x 7.5 in. direct vent pipe and a matching termination

Installation Notes

Frame a standard opening 40-7/8 in. wide, 41-1/4 in. high and 18-1/2 in. deep with 2x4 or larger lumber, choose top or rear venting with 4.5 x 7.5 in. Secure Vent, and keep the shelf and mantel clearances in the manual. The required facade and barrier must be installed before the fireplace is operated. Electronic models need a 120V supply; millivolt models only need power for an optional blower. In New York City, direct vent gas fireplaces are installed under the NYC Fuel Gas Code by a licensed master plumber, with DOB filing where required, and the vent termination location usually decides feasibility. Book a design consultation to plan the framing, venting and finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What else do I need to buy?

The included Vista Black facade FVFBK40T with its safety barrier must be installed; you still need Secure Vent 4.5 x 7.5 in. direct vent pipe and termination, and a gas line by a licensed installer. A blower, remote and decorative liner are optional.

Millivolt or electronic ignition?

Millivolt models light with a piezo igniter and need no house power for the fire itself. Electronic models use intermittent pilot ignition on house power, with four AA batteries as backup during an outage.

Can it vent out the back?

Yes. It ships for top venting and can be converted to rear venting with the rear flue cover included in the box.

How much heat does it make?

Up to 21,000 BTU/h on natural gas and 19,000 BTU/h on propane, per the manual's input table.
