FAQ

Does the Ascent Linear 42 install without a chimney?

Yes. Direct venting through a side wall or the roof is all it needs — the BL42 brings a wide gas flame to rooms where a chimney was never built.

Is the Ascent Linear 42 usable during power outages?

It is — battery backup on the ignition means the burner lights with no household electricity, keeping heat available in winter storms. The blower simply rejoins when power does.

What does an evening with the Ascent Linear 42 cost in gas?

At the full 20,000 BTU input it burns about 0.20 therms per hour — near 30 cents hourly at average U.S. rates, so a four-hour evening fire typically costs about a dollar.

What size chase does the Ascent Linear 42 need?

Frame a minimum of 42.50 in wide x 39.25 in high x 18.50 in deep; the unit measures 44.50 x 40.50 x 19.50 in overall with a 37.75 x 16.75 in viewing area.

Must the Ascent Linear 42 go on an outside wall?

No — with a vertical vent run to the roof, an interior wall installation is fully supported. The deciding factor is the vent path your installer can route, not the wall itself.

How hot does the Ascent Linear 42’s glass front get?

Very hot — operating gas-fireplace glass exceeds 400°F and cools slowly afterward. Its included safety barrier reduces contact risk, but keep children and pets at a respectful distance.

What warranty ships with the Ascent Linear 42?

Napoleon’s President’s Limited Lifetime Warranty covers the BL42, honored fully because we are an authorized Napoleon dealer.
