Product overview
The Napoleon RD3N Rosedale 3 is an indoor natural gas insert designed to update a compatible existing fireplace opening. It combines traditional log-flame presentation with a compact body, heat-radiating ceramic glass and an included thermostatic remote. This is the base insert: select the required log set, compatible backerplate and faceplate separately. The image shows a finished configuration with optional decorative panels.
Build Configuration and Venting
This RD3N is natural gas with 7-day millivolt ignition. The F60 thermostatic remote and standard safety screen are included. Select a compatible log kit, backerplate and faceplate. The offered SBK4F3RD and SABKF3RD faces match the 3-sided BK3B3RD backerplate. The RD3BK blower is optional. Use an approved pair of 3-inch liners and the matching insert termination/adaptor components specified in the exact manual. The listed vent products are route choices; select all required installation-specific components. Venting remains optional for ordering.
Key features
- Up to 25,000 BTU/hr gas input.
- Seven-day millivolt ignition and adjustable flame/heat.
- Gas heating can operate during a power outage; powered blower functions require electricity.
- Included safety barrier and F60 thermostatic on/off remote.
- Choice of oak or birch logs and optional interior panel finishes.
Included components
RD3N natural gas base insert, ceramic glass, safety screen and F60 remote-control equipment. A standard blower is optional on RD3; it is not included merely because the related RD2 lists one as standard.
Required components
Select one BLKRD3 birch or OLKRD3 oak log kit. Select an approved backerplate and matching faceplate for the fireplace opening. The pricebook lists BK3B3RD, BK4B3RD and TBKOF3RD backerplate alternatives, and SBK4F3RD straight or SABKF3RD arched faceplates; confirm the exact paired arrangement in the installation instructions. A complete approved direct-vent insert liner system using the specified 3-inch liners and termination is required. The appliance must be fitted to an approved existing cavity with a suitable gas connection.
Optional accessories
Optional interiors include BIGRD3 black glass, PRPRD3 reflective porcelain, DBPRD3NS Newport brick and DBPRD3WS Westminster brick. RD3BK is the optional standard heat-circulating blower. RD3RISE is an optional adjustable riser. Propane conversion requires certified W175-0850 equipment and qualified installation; this listing is natural gas. A hybrid blower is discussed in the brochure, but its availability and exact ordering configuration are not included in this base listing.

Installation and safety notes
Have a qualified installer verify the existing cavity, chimney, liner route, hearth, mantel and clearances against the exact installation manual. Body dimensions are not minimum cavity or framing dimensions. Do not connect the insert to a flue serving another solid-fuel appliance. Install and retain the safety barrier; the glass and surrounding surfaces remain hot after operation. Use only approved logs and panels in their specified positions.

Keep burner and control compartments clean, arrange annual professional inspection, and follow manufacturer documentation and applicable codes.
