Product overview
The Napoleon GDS50N-2 Havelock Elite is a natural gas stove with a split-flow burner and a traditional oak-log fire. This current GDS50-2 model includes the blower, remote and reflective panels. Choose a separately sold pedestal or feet to finish the freestanding installation. The photographed pedestal is not included in the base-appliance price.
Venting Options
This appliance uses a 4-inch exhaust / 7-inch air-intake direct-vent system. Venting is sold separately. Choose a termination for the installer-approved route and all associated pipe, supports and firestops specified in the exact installation manual. The listed terminal kits and Duravent adapter are route alternatives, not a complete universal package. Venting remains optional for ordering. Use only manufacturer-approved natural-draft configurations; no unverified power-vent adapter is offered.
