Superior DRL4048 DRL4000 Custom Series 48" Linear Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
Superior
The Superior DRL4000 Series is the Custom tier of Superior's contemporary linear lineup, built for larger contemporary and transitional spaces where the fireplace is the architectural focal point. The 84-inch DRL4084 ships with electronic IPI/CPI ignition with seamless battery backup, an expansive ceramic glass viewing window (the heat-rated upgrade over the smaller series' tempered glass), reflective black crushed glass media, a black painted interior, and the standard protective screen barrier. Unlike the DRL2000 and DRL3500, the DRL4000 ships natural gas only from the factory; LP installs require a field conversion kit (included in the LP selection on this page).
What sets the DRL4000 apart from the smaller series is the see-through capability: the 84-inch unit converts to a two-sided room divider with the optional see-through kit, which is the configuration that justifies the Custom tier for many buyers. Framing measures 98-1/4" wide by 48-1/2" tall by 19-1/2" deep, and the unit uses 6" / 9" 6DVL direct-vent components. The DRL4000 sits below the DRL6000 Signature tier in the same size class; DRL4000 leaves the blower and remote as options where the DRL6000 includes them as standard.
