Product overview
The Napoleon GSS74NE Galaxy 74 is an outdoor natural gas decorative fireplace for a properly ventilated patio or outdoor living area. Its wide linear burner, LED-lit ember bed and glass wind guard create a contemporary focal point. This is the single-sided base appliance. Photographed decorative options may be sold separately.
Key features
- 70,000 BTU/hr maximum natural gas input.
- Multicolor wind-guard and ember-bed lighting with clear glass embers.
- External control panel and included finishing flange.
- Optional weather protection, screen and approved heat/exhaust management.
Included components
Base fireplace and burner, clear glass embers, glass wind guard, multicolor LED lighting, stainless steel finishing flange and external control panel. The supplied glass embers must be installed before operation.
Required components
Install the supplied glass embers over the burner tray exactly as shown in manual section 9.2, keeping the ignition area clear. A separate log set is not required.
The installation also requires the correct natural gas supply, electrical connection, framing, clearances and permanently open outdoor ventilation. These installation materials are not a substitute for the manufacturer's enclosure requirements.
Optional accessories
Compatible optional log sets are BLKTLV74 birch, DLKTLV74 driftwood and OLKTLV74 oak. The GSS74STC kit converts this single-sided base model to the documented see-through configuration. Other model-specific options include GSS74WC weather cover, GSS74SK screen and PRPGS74 reflective panels. Approved colored glass and woodland enhancements are optional; follow the manufacturer's media restrictions and keep burner/pilot passages clear.
Heat and exhaust management is optional. Do not make it a mandatory chimney package for the standard documented outdoor installation. Fuel conversion requires the certified kit for the exact model and qualified service.

Installation and safety notes
For outdoor use only; never install inside the building's warm-air envelope. A qualified installer must follow the exact installation manual and applicable codes. The manual requires at least 30% of the outdoor living-space perimeter to remain permanently open and unobstructed for the applicable partial enclosure; follow all illustrated enclosure conditions. Select a sheltered location to limit wind effects and avoid running water. Maintain the documented framing, mantel, overhead and adjacent combustible clearances. Appliance dimensions are not framing dimensions. Do not enclose the fireplace as an indoor appliance. This decorative product is not intended as a heating appliance or for burning solid fuel. Keep the gas ignition and burner passages clear of media, and use only manufacturer-approved materials. Allow the appliance to cool before covering, cleaning or servicing.
