Superior DRC6345 DRC6300 45" Contemporary Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
SuperiorDRC6345 Overview
The Superior DRC6345 is the contemporary Signature Series flagship at 45 inches, a flush-hearth smooth-face direct vent gas fireplace built around a tall, dancing flame rising through reflective black crushed glass media. The standard 5-piece black reflective porcelain interior liner kit amplifies the flame display, and the SIT Pro Flame II control system with seamless battery backup and full-function flame remote is included. Six flame settings give precise heat control. This is the top of the Contemporary front-open lineup.
The DRC6345 ships from the factory in Natural Gas only and uses Superior's larger 8/11 inch 8DVL Rigid Direct-Vent system. Liquid Propane installations require the field-installed GCK-MDLX45NP conversion kit ($137). Customize the look with optional Reflective Blue or Platinum crushed glass media. Important note vs the Traditional DRT6345: the Contemporary DRC variant does NOT offer a Power Vent factory variant, and there are NO optional log sets, andiron kits, or interior liner upgrades available; the porcelain liner is built in.
