Napoleon Ascent™ X 36 Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
The Ascent™ X 36 takes Napoleon’s best-selling firebox and adds a wider, cleaner-faced viewing area, the NIGHT LIGHT™ glow that keeps the fireplace looking alive with the burner off, and a remote as standard. Sealed direct-vent combustion means it installs almost anywhere in a NYC apartment, Long Island home or New Jersey build.
Key Features
- Up to 26,000 BTU/h with flame and heat adjustment
- NIGHT LIGHT™ included — ambient glow with the flame off
- Remote control included (thermostatic on/off with digital screen)
- Blower kit included — variable speed with thermostatic control
- PHAZER™ log set and standard safety barrier included
- Top or rear 4″ / 7″ direct venting for flexible placement
- President’s Limited Lifetime Warranty
Choosing Your Configuration
Ignition & Fuel Type above is required — it determines the factory unit you receive. Millivolt uses a standing pilot and runs without electricity; Electronic uses an intermittent pilot for higher efficiency. Interior Panels and Decorative Front are optional — the firebox ships with a painted black interior and the standard safety barrier.
A direct vent kit is required to complete this installation and is sold separately — the correct kit depends on whether you terminate through a wall or the roof. Surrounds, finishing trim, media kits and heat-management accessories are optional.
