HOW TO SELECT A FIREPLACE INSERT
1.DETERMINE YOUR EXISTING FIREPLACE
The first step is determining whether you have a metal (zero clearance) or masonry fireplace. Your Lopi dealer can help you if you need it. They can also provide you with your new air intake and exhaust systems. It is important that this work is done by a hearth professional.
2.SELECT YOUR FIREPLACE INSERT
Next determine which insert best fits your needs based on your heating requirements and
the size of your fireplace opening. We offer DVS (Direct Vent Small) and DVL (Direct Vent Large) sized inserts. Size your fireplace by using the chart on the bottom of page 23. Again, your Lopi dealer is an expert in guiding you.
3.CHOOSE YOUR SURROUND PANEL
Choose the correct size and preferred style of insert panel. (see page 24)
3. ADD A CUSTOM FACE
There are four custom door frames available for the DVS & DVL inserts:
Wilmington (Black paint or Pewter plated)
