Valor G3.5 Gas Insert, Propane

A gas insert should make an old fireplace worth sitting in front of again, and the Valor G3.5 does it with a 354 square inch view of the fire. Valor says it builds on four generations of its Legend insert design, and the current 700R engine includes AutoFire and the Valor 10 remote.

The 700RP is the propane engine, with an input range of 11,000 to 26,000 Btu/h. You choose birch, driftwood, or traditional logs, then a liner in ledgestone, reflective glass, fluted black, or red brick, and a front. Those pieces are sold separately. Valor describes the G3.5 as a radiant fireplace that heats the room directly without relying on a fan or electricity.

What Makes the G3.5 Different

• A generous fire view. The window measures 23-5/8 by 15 inches, so the fire reads well from across the room.
• Lots of ways to style it. Three log sets and four liner choices, plus a range of fronts, let you build the look you want.
• Valor 10 remote and AutoFire. Both come with the 700R engine.
• Runs on battery power. It doesn't need household electricity to operate as a heater.

This listing is the Valor 700RP engine, the current G3.5 direct vent gas insert for propane. The fuel bed, liner, front, and backing plate are sold separately.
