A flickering fire elicits a primal response in most people. But there's nothing primitive about Napoleon's sleek GT8 gas fireplace.

The single torch-style flame gives an ultra-modern look to this wall fireplace, fueled by natural gas or liquid propane. The frame front comes in six designer finishes: pewter, red ,white, steel blue, metallic black or brushed stainless steel. Porcelain reflective panels and a prism shaped firebox enhance the flames, viewed through heat resistant glass. Decorative glass embers complete the illusion of a wood fire.

Thanks to the shallow fire box and zero clearance to combustibles, the GT8 can be installed in 2' x 6' framing space. The fireplace vents directly through the wall and does not require a chimney or hearth extension.

An electronic ignition lights the fire at the touch of a switch. A safety switch automatically shuts off gas supply in emergencies.

The fireplace is approved for installation in bedrooms, bathrooms, sitting rooms, kitchens, even mobile homes.

Options include frame finishes, a low voltage LED light kit, and installation parts.
