Napoleon Elevation X 42" Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

A larger fireplace transforms the way a room looks and feels.

The Napoleon Elevation X 42" Direct Vent Gas Fireplace features an expansive fireplace opening and extensive customization options that make it an exceptional centerpiece for spacious living areas and luxury home designs.

Designers, contractors, and homeowners who need a fireplace with genuine presence will find the 42" model hits a different level entirely.

Napoleon Elevation X 42": Direct Vent Presence for Larger Living Spaces

The modulating ENDLESS EMBERS™ electric ember bed glows beneath the log set, and the included NIGHT LIGHT™ can be used on its own when the fire is off. The clean face design keeps the front unobstructed, allowing a full firebox flame view that draws the eye naturally.

The Elevation X 42" has a maximum input of 45,000 BTU/hr on natural gas or 39,000 BTU/hr on propane. A heat circulating blower with variable speed and thermostatic control comes standard, and optional Ducted Heat Management (DHM), Dynamic Heat Control™ (DHC), Dynamic Heat Control™ Plus (DHC+) or Hot Air Distribution (LHAD) systems give more flexibility in how the fireplace is installed.

A High Definition log kit (driftwood, oak or birch) and a set of decorative panels are both required to complete the fireplace and are sold separately.

Control comes via the included ProFlame II remote or the included eFIRE controller and app, which put flame height, lighting, and blower speed on a mobile device.

Homeowners comparing direct vent gas fireplaces will find the Elevation X 42" sits at the upper end of the category.

It is not necessary to install a hearth extension, but the appliance must be raised to be flush with the hearth or finished floor if installing optional trims. Choose a non-combustible finishing kit (NCEX36/42) or a combustible finishing kit (DHCEX/DHMEX) early, as framing requirements differ. Refer to the installation manual for complete framing, venting and clearance requirements.

Personalizing the Elevation X 42"

One of the defining advantages of the Napoleon Elevation X 42" is the level of design flexibility it offers. Nearly every visible element can be customized, so the fireplace feels fully integrated with your home’s architecture and interior style.

Brick kit selection shapes the firebox interior itself. MIRRO-FLAME panels create a sense of depth, making the flame appear larger and more layered. Herringbone and standard patterns across multiple color palettes allow the interior to be aligned with surrounding stonework, tile, or architectural finishes. Front and trim choices complete the picture.

Our full fireplace collection at Dreamwood Living is worth reviewing alongside the Elevation X 42" to compare configurations and find the best fit for the project at hand.

FAQs

What size opening do I need to frame for the Elevation X 42?

The finished opening is 45-3/4" wide by 48-1/4" high by 22-1/4" deep, with a rough framing width of 48-3/4". Always confirm against the installation manual for your specific model, finishing kit and venting configuration before cutting, and never let framing or finishing material encroach inside the fireplace’s finishing flange.

What heat management options are available?

The Elevation X is compatible with Napoleon’s optional Ducted Heat Management (DHM), Dynamic Heat Control™ (DHC), Dynamic Heat Control™ Plus (DHC+) and Hot Air Distribution (LHAD) systems; DHC cannot be combined with the LHAD kit. The combustible finishing kit (DHCEX/DHMEX) needs an air outlet opening in the enclosure; the non-combustible kit (NCEX36/42) does not.

Can the Napoleon Elevation X 42" run on propane?

Yes. It is sold as EX42NTEL for natural gas or EX42PTEL for propane. The appliance is only for use with the gas type on its rating plate and is not convertible unless a certified kit is used, so confirm the fuel type before ordering.

What is the gas input of this model?

Maximum input is 45,000 BTU/hr on natural gas and 39,000 BTU/hr on propane. It is certified as a vented decorative gas appliance.
