Napoleon Oakville X4: a 40,000 BTU gas insert for a large fireplace
The Napoleon Oakville X4 is the biggest insert in the Oakville line, a direct vent gas insert for a large masonry or prefab wood burning fireplace. It needs an opening at least 34 1/4 inches wide, 24 5/8 inches tall and 17 3/4 inches deep. The dual burner split flow system runs the front and rear burners from 16,000 up to 40,000 BTU and fills the firebox with a triple flame. The heat circulating blower, the remote and eFIRE Bluetooth app control come included, a split oak log set is standard, and Napoleon’s NIGHT LIGHT glows even when the fire is off.
One choice is required on the page: the decorative panels, in MIRRO-FLAME reflective porcelain or Newport or Westminster brick. Optional extras: birch or driftwood log sets, backerplates and faceplates in black or charcoal, and a 3 inch riser box. Order it for natural gas, or add the propane conversion kit. It vents through two 3 inch liners run up the existing chimney, one for fresh air and one for exhaust, and the matching Napoleon liner kits are on the page. Napoleon backs it with its President’s Limited Lifetime Warranty. The Napoleon Oakville X4 ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
