Napoleon BX42 Ascent X 42" Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
NapoleonBX42 Overview
The Napoleon BX42 Ascent X is the 42-inch step-up from the BX36 in the Ascent X family, with a higher 30,000 BTU output across the wider firebox. Like its smaller sibling, the BX42 ships with the NIGHT LIGHT top accent, a variable-speed blower, ceramic glass, the High Definition oak log set, and the Pan-style burner with flame/heat adjustment - all standard. ProFlame II IPI is included. Both NG and LP are factory-built at the same price.
Framing is 43 1/2 inches wide by 38 inches tall by 17 1/2 inches deep. The BX42 has eight decorative panel choices (one more than the BX36, adding Sandstone Standard Brick) and three trim options including the dramatic Wrought Iron Scalloped surround. The decorative front choices - Heritage or Zen - finish the design. Optional UHM and LHAD heat management are available for TV mounting and remote-room heat.
