Designed for Flexible Installation and Everyday Comfort
The Napoleon Ascent Traditional Series is a direct vent gas fireplace available in natural gas or propane, designed with a shallow depth and clean-face design for flexible installation and a larger viewing area.
Built for Versatility in Modern Homes
The Ascent Traditional Series is designed to fit spaces where traditional fireplaces may not. Its shallow depth allows for easier placement in tighter framing conditions, making it a practical option for both new builds and renovations.
A clean-face design maximizes the visible flame area, allowing the included oak log set and pan-style burner to create a natural focal point in the room.
Practical Performance with Customization Options

With multiple size options and fuel types available, the Ascent Series adapts to a wide range of home layouts. Designer options allow you to tailor the appearance to match your interior style while maintaining consistent performance.
Its balanced combination of heat output and efficiency makes it suitable for everyday use in living spaces.
Installation Options
The Napoleon Ascent Traditional uses a direct vent system, requiring exterior venting for safe operation. It can be installed in standard wall framing, with the shallow depth allowing for more flexibility in placement compared to deeper units.
This fireplace is available in multiple sizes to accommodate different room layouts. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper venting and gas line connections.
Controls & Features
The Ascent Traditional Series supports both millivolt and electronic ignition systems, providing flexibility based on installation preference. A backup control system allows operation during power interruptions.
The unit comes pre-wired for a wall switch, enabling convenient everyday use. The pan-style burner works with the included oak log set to produce a consistent and natural-looking flame presentation.
With up to 22,000 BTUs of heat output, this fireplace provides reliable warmth for residential spaces while maintaining efficient operation.
The fireplace can operate with or without heat, allowing for year-round ambiance. Integrated speakers provide optional crackling fire sounds to enhance realism.
