Who it's for
Right buyer. You want a linear direct-vent gas fireplace and cannot decide between logs and glass media, because the Jade ships with both and LED accent lighting, in 32 or 42 inch, with a clean-face front.
Wrong buyer. You want a wall over 42 inches; that is the Echelon II. You want a tall traditional firebox with a big log set; that is the Marquis II or Meridian.

Interior and media
The interior is what you see behind the fire: a brick liner, a reflective black glass liner, or glass media in place of logs.

|---|---|---|
| Fade-resistant reflective black glass interior panels | GLASS-32LINEAR | $619 |
| Fade-resistant reflective black glass interior panels | GLASS-42LINEAR | $659 |
Installation and venting
| Venting | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Type | Direct vent |
Direct vent: a sealed coaxial pipe carries exhaust out and combustion air in, through the roof or an outside wall, with no chimney. The vent pipe, elbows and termination are sold separately and quoted from your installer's plan.
What arrives
- If installing a Passive Heat Kit you
- cannot use a fan
- If ordering lights or fan, must order
- IFT-RC400
- IntelliFire Touch ignition system
- Bronze glass media
- Tempered glass
- Junction box & Battery backup
- Manual gas valve shut-off and flex
- connector
- 4" x 6-5/8" top vent collar
- Manual gas value shut-off and flex
- 4" x 6-58" top vent collar
- The front, interior and any accessories ship as their own cartons.
Before you order
- Installation is by a licensed gas installer. The fireplace, its venting and the gas line are inspected together, and the warranty depends on it.
- Framing, clearances to combustibles, mantel heights and the vent run come from the installation manual for your size. Send us your plan and we will check it before anything ships.
- Venting is sold separately and priced from the installer's plan: the pipe, elbows and termination depend on where the vent exits. Ask us for a vent quote with your order.
- Propane: every model is also made in an LP version at the same price. Add a note to your order and we will confirm the LP model before it ships.
- A 120-volt outlet or junction box at the fireplace is needed for the fan, lights and accessories; the ignition itself has battery backup.
- Special-order goods ship by freight. Confirm the size and the front before you order.
How it performs
The Jade is the linear fireplace that keeps both looks in the box: set it up with the split-oak logs for a traditional fire or with the glass media for a modern one, and change your mind later. Once the installer has set the flame height and the fan, the fireplace runs from the wall switch, the RC400 remote or the app: press once and the pilot lights, the burner catches, and the glass warms in a few minutes. The 32-inch heats a bedroom-sized room and the 42 a living room; both take the fan and heat-management kits.
Trade-offs to know
- A direct-vent fireplace is sealed behind glass; there is no open fire and no smell of wood. People who want that choose a wood fireplace or the open-front Reveal.
- The front is a separate purchase and a separate decision; the fireplace cannot be finished without one.
- The venting run decides where it can go; a long or complicated run adds to the installation more than the fireplace does.
Living with it
Have the fireplace serviced once a year, before the season: the installer cleans the burner and the glass inside, checks the vent and the gasket. The glass gets a haze on the inside in the first weeks as the paint cures; that cleans off. Keep the remote's batteries fresh and the app on the WiFi for firmware updates. The fan is the only moving part you will hear.

Questions people ask
What is a front, and why is it required?
A Majestic direct-vent fireplace ships as the firebox and glass. The front is the finished face that covers the frame and the vents: a clean-face trim that disappears into the wall, or a decorative front with a screen. The fireplace cannot be finished without one, which is why the page will not let you order without choosing it.
What is IntelliFire Touch?
Majestic's intermittent-pilot ignition system. There is no standing pilot burning all year; the fireplace lights when you turn it on, from the wall switch, the remote or the app. It has a battery backup, so it still lights in a power outage. Flame height, the fan and the lights are controlled from the RC400 remote or the IntelliFire app with the Wi-Fi module.
Does it heat the room?
Yes. A direct-vent fireplace is a sealed heater: it draws combustion air from outside and sends its exhaust outside, so all the heat from the glass goes into the room. With the optional fan it warms a good-sized room; the passive heat and heat-zone kits move heat to another room or out of the wall above.
How is it vented?
Through a coaxial direct-vent pipe out the top or the rear, to a termination on the roof or through an outside wall. No chimney is needed. The pipe, elbows and cap are sized to your house and sold separately.
Can I get it in propane?
Yes. Add a note to your order and we will confirm the LP model, which is the same price.
Can I return it?
Fireplaces are special-order freight items. Confirm the size, the front and the interior with us before you order, and contact us before returning anything.
What size gas line does it need?
A dedicated 1/2-inch line is typical for one fireplace; the manual gives the inlet pressure and the installer sizes the run. Natural gas needs 5 to 7 inches of water column at the appliance, propane 11 to 13.
Can it run in a power cut?
The IntelliFire Touch ignition has battery backup, so the fire lights and runs with the power off. The fan and lights need 120 volts and wait for it to return.
