Mendota FV48 Gas Fireplace FullView

The Mendota FV48 FullView is all about width, with a 48 1/8 by 25 5/8 inch viewing area. That long, low fire suits a wide wall and gives the room a strong horizontal line.

It's easy to live with, too. Natural gas input adjusts from 12,000 up to 44,000 BTU/hr, dual blowers come standard, and electronic ignition works with a thermostatic remote. Mendota rates it at 75% fireplace efficiency, and it vents direct with an approved power vent kit option.

What Makes the FV48 Different

• Low to high. Natural gas input from 12,000 to 44,000 BTU/hr lets you run a low flame or turn it up.
• Blowers standard. Dual blowers rated at 190 CFM in free air come with the fireplace.
