Product overview
The Monessen Artisan AVFLST48 is a 48-inch see-through vent-free gas fireplace designed to connect two viewing spaces. Its linear flame, Diamond glass media, reflective interior and LED lighting create a contemporary double-sided fire feature. An indoor/outdoor installation requires the approved outdoor kit and its separate framing arrangement.
Key features
- Two viewing sides with a clean-face presentation.
- Black reflective glass and multicolor LED hearth lighting.
- IntelliFire Touch ignition; natural-gas and propane models.
- No chimney or vent pipe; required combustion and ventilation air must still be provided.
Included components
Includes framed mesh screens, four bags of crushed-glass media, the specified non-combustible board, deflector glass and RC450 remote. Follow the packing list and installation instructions for the appliance revision.
Required components
Select the correct fuel model. The supplied glass satisfies the standard media installation; additional glass, a log kit or a stone kit is not required merely to complete the fireplace. The AVFLST48SSODK outdoor kit is required only when choosing the approved exterior-wall installation.
Optional accessories
Approved trim/front treatments, driftwood logs and the stone kit are optional. Do not install the log kit and stone kit together. Use their exact placement instructions. Optional replacement glass must not be layered excessively over burner ports.
