Napoleon BLP42NTE Ascent Linear Premium 42" Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
NapoleonBLP42 Overview
The Napoleon BLP42NTE is the 42-inch entry into the Ascent Linear Premium family, sitting one tier above the standard Ascent Linear and below the Vector and Luxuria flagships. Compared to the base BL42, the Premium adds a higher 20,000 BTU output, a premium safety barrier, the integrated NIGHT LIGHT top accent, the Topaz CRYSTALINE ember bed, the eFire Bluetooth controller, and a variable-speed blower as standard. ProFlame II electronic ignition with battery back-up is included.
Framing dimensions are 42 1/2 inches wide by 39 3/8 inches tall by 18 9/16 inches deep, with a clean-face viewing area of 37 1/2 inches by 16 3/4 inches. Optional Universal Heat Management (UHM) routes heat through ducts and lowers clearances for safe TV or artwork mounting above the unit. The optional Hot Air Distribution Kit (LHAD) ducts warm air to a different room. Natural gas comes factory; an LP conversion kit (W175-0817) is available for propane installs.
