Superior DRL3555 DRL3500 Pro Series 55" Linear Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

DRL3555 Overview

The Superior DRL3500 Series is the Pro tier in Superior's linear lineup and the step up from the entry-level DRL2000. The 55-inch DRL3555 ships fully equipped: electronic IPI/CPI ignition with seamless battery backup, platinum crushed glass media, tempered glass, a black painted interior, a factory-installed variable-speed blower with six speed settings, a multi-function remote (IPI/CPI, thermostat, flame height, blower, lighting), mood-enhancing floor lighting, and the standard protective screen barrier. Where the DRL2000 makes you add the blower and remote as accessories, the DRL3500 includes them, which makes the upcharge worthwhile for buyers who know they want the blower and remote anyway.

Framing dimensions match the DRL2000 at the same nominal size (the DRL3555 measures 55-7/8" wide by 29" tall by 18" deep), so the cabinet swap is clean if a buyer started planning around a DRL2000 install. The fireplace is rated to ANSI Z21.88 / CSA 2.33 and uses 4.5 inch by 7.5 inch Secure Vent components. Optional decorative surrounds, porcelain liners, and additional floor media (driftwood logs, river rock, alternate glass colors) are available to customize the look.
