Valcourt FP19 St-Louis High-Efficiency Wood Fireplace
ValcourtFP19 Overview
The Valcourt FP19 St-Louis is the premium tall-format member of Valcourt's high-efficiency line, designed and manufactured in Quebec around the proprietary NexFlame combustion technology. The 84 3/8 inch overall height and tall integrated faceplate distinguish the St-Louis from the rest of the Valcourt platform, this is a unit built to anchor a double-height architectural feature wall rather than fit a standard mantel opening. The NexFlame system regulates combustion automatically, maintaining a clean burn without manual damper adjustments, and the unit supports remote monitoring through a web app.
The FP19 is currently EPA Pending under the EPA 2020 voluntary program; the user manual explicitly notes that the unit is not yet a certified appliance, so verify regulatory status with your local authority before installation. The unit ships with the 8-inch chimney and a premium blower included; the only required accessory is the VA19FL06 tall faceplate (84 1/4 inches) with integrated gravity air distribution. Maximum burn time is 7 hours on a load of 21-inch logs, with 1.8 g/h particulate emissions. Fireplace Insider ships the FP19 nationwide; installation by a WETT or NFI certified installer is recommended for warranty coverage.

Warranty
Valcourt fireplaces are backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty issued by Stove Builder International (SBI), the manufacturer of the Valcourt brand. The warranty is provided to the original retail purchaser at the original installation address and is non-transferable. Coverage begins on the date of purchase indicated on the invoice; if the invoice cannot be provided, the warranty period is determined by the date of manufacture stamped on the appliance. The original invoice must be retained as proof of purchase to claim warranty service.
Coverage applies to the firebox structure, body, and combustion components. Glass breakage from thermal stress is not covered, and the warranty excludes damage caused by improper installation, overfiring, use of fuel other than dry cordwood, normal wear of paint and refractory bricks, modifications to the appliance, and damage from chimney fires. Specific component warranty periods and exclusions are detailed in full in the owner's manual; review it before registering your warranty at valcourtinc.com. Optional electrical components such as blowers carry a shorter coverage period, typically two years on parts.
