Superior DRT4040 DRT4000 40" Traditional Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
SuperiorDRT4040 Overview
The Superior DRT4040 steps the family up to the full-size 23 inch framing depth platform. This deeper firebox accepts a larger high-definition ceramic fiber log set with heavy-duty grate and produces a more dramatic flame presentation than the mid-size DRT2000/3000 units. The 40-inch DRT4000 is Custom Series, sitting between the value-oriented DRT3000 and the fully-featured DRT4200. Top flue venting only on this series.
The DRT4040 is Electronic IPI/CPI ignition only, in Natural Gas or Liquid Propane. A facade is required at order time: Vista Frame Black at baseline, plus Reflection and Craftsman upgrades. Optional interior liners include Blackstone, Greystone, and Blended Brown stacked ceramic, or the Black Reflective Porcelain. Three blower kits and several remote/wall switch accessories are available. Use this size when the buyer wants a more substantial firebox without paying the DRT4200 premium for ceramic glass and integrated lighting.
