Mendota FV46 Gas Fireplace FireIn

The Mendota FV46 FireIn is made for a big, tall log fire. The viewing area measures 38 by 33 5/16 inches, and inside it the logs wrap around the burner, so flames climb through and around them the way they would in a wood fire.

You design the finished look. The FV46 FireIn is sold as a base fireplace, and you choose the log set, firebox liner, and decorative front separately to suit your room. Dual blowers come standard, electronic ignition runs from a thermostatic remote, and natural gas input ranges from 24,000 to 44,500 BTU/hr.

What Makes the FV46 FireIn Different

• A tall fire view. The 38 by 33 5/16 inch viewing area gives the fire plenty of height.
• Flames through the logs. Logs wrapped around the burner give the fire a natural, layered look.
• Your front, liner, and logs. Because those pieces are chosen separately, you can match the fireplace to the room.
• Accent light. An accent light adds another layer to the look of the firebox.
• Blowers standard. Dual blowers rated at 190 CFM in free air come with the fireplace.

This listing is the Mendota FV46 FireIn direct vent gas fireplace, part number AA-11-05433, rated for natural gas and propane. The log set, firebox liner, and decorative front are not included with the base fireplace.

Ownership & Maintenance

Mendota calls for the backup power harness to be installed next to the fireplace for use with a DC battery pack. If the fireplace is installed with Versiheat or FlexHeat, it can't be operated during a power outage. Ask us what will run on backup power in your installation. We offer ongoing service for our customers.

With the front, liner, and logs all to choose, the FV46 FireIn is worth planning in person. Visit our Auburn, Brunswick, and Yarmouth showrooms for help with the design, venting, framing, clearances, and installation, or compare Mendota and other gas fireplaces.
