The Mendota ML48 gives you a long, clean line of fire and lets you decide how it should look. Choose Timberline for a log fire and a traditional feel, or Décor for modern media and a contemporary one. Mendota pairs either with a wide mix of fronts and liners, so the fireplace can match the rest of the room.
The viewing area measures 47 7/8 by 19 1/2 inches. Natural gas input runs from 27,900 to 41,000 BTU/hr, dual blowers come standard, and electronic ignition works from a thermostatic remote. It's also approved for Mendota power vent kits for homes where a standard direct vent run doesn't fit the plan.
This listing is the Mendota ML48 Décor/Timberline linear direct vent gas fireplace, part number AA-11-05434, with Timberline logs or Décor media. It is not the ML48 FireIn, which has different ratings.
BTU and efficiency are Mendota's numbers. Your experience will depend on the space, the installation, and how you use the fireplace.
Mendota's manual doesn't list which functions work on battery backup, so check with us before counting on it in an outage. If the fireplace is installed with Versiheat or FlexHeat, it can't be operated during a power outage. Hearth Doctor customers get support after the sale.
