Winthrop Gas Fireplaces
Gas appliance performance can be affected by negative pressure in a home and by prevailing atmospheric conditions. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation
requirements in your area. Heating capacity may vary depending on the degree of home insulation, floor plan and the ambient temperature zone of the area in which you live.

Realistic Fire Design
We’ve perfected the art of making gas fire look as much like a real wood fire as possible. From the performance and
color of the flames to the logs hand carved with intricate detail, you’ll be amazed at the beauty and realism of the
Winthrop TRV fire. The Winthrop features 864 square inches of viewing glass with a removable safety screen. The
screen protects against burns the glass is touched and prevents glare on the glass for a better fire view.
Superior Venting Technology
The option of venting from the top or the rear of the fireplace means you can install the Winthrop virtually anywhere
inside or outside of your home. Our direct vent technology is a completely safe and closed system that preserves the
air quality in your home and protects your health. Unlike some other fireplaces, the Winthrop’s direct vent system is
designed to bring outside air into your fireplace for combustion and does not take away the heated air inside your home.
Heating Versatility & Efficiency
The Winthrop is ideal for year-round fire enjoyment since it’s versatile
enough to be a highly efficient heater or a low-heat decorative display
of flames. You can add an optional high-volume, low-noise convection
fan to increase the heat output even more on the coldest days of the
year. By adding the optional Extra Room Power Heat Duct, you can
directly send heat an additional zone within your home! Our standing
pilot system generates enough electricity to ensure the Winthrop will
operate even if the power goes out. Rest assured you will be able to
heat your home even in the worst of storms.
Ultimate Flame Adjustability
You can have virtually unlimited flame variation with our Comfort Control TM valve and the Flame Height Adjuster
Knob. Use all 31,000 Btu’s of flame on the coldest winter nights or with the touch of a button turn it down to only
6,700 (NG) or 5,200 (LP) for a romantic firelight on a warmer night. (Figure 1) Enjoy a full flame fire with maximum
height. (Figure 2) Use the Flame Height Adjuster Knob to turn the flames lower when you want less heat.
(Figure 3) Use the Comfort Control valve to turn off the rear burner completely for a darker, more romantic fire.
The Drawbacks of
Unvented Gas Fireplaces
Unvented, vent-free or ventless fireplaces don’t use a chimney, flue or vent. They allow hazardous particles and gases
to circulate into your house - making your home and your lungs the chimney! These pollutants are a serious health
concern. They can also allow the build up of water vapors that can actually degrade the structure of your home.
That’s Why Avalon Builds
Only Direct Vent Gas Fireplaces
The American Lung Association discourages the
use of ventless fireplaces for health and
environmental reasons. They recommend
homeowners choose only sealed, direct vent
gas fireplaces to preserve indoor and outdoor
air quality and to prevent by-products such as
carbon monoxide, soot and nitrogen dioxide
from entering your home. Sealed gas fireplaces
also prevent excess moisture from building up
in your house. All Avalon direct vent gas
fireplaces are sealed and meet the guidelines
of the American Lung Associations Health House
program.

How Direct Venting Works
Direct vent fireplaces bring in oxygen from
the outside of the home into the fireplace for
combustion, or to fuel the fire, through a pipe
that goes out through the roof of your home
or out through a wall. Soot particles and
combustion gases,like carbon dioxide, are
sent directly outside your home.
A direct vent fireplace has a completely sealed
front glass panel to prevent any of the soot or
gases from entering your home. This protects
your indoor air quality and your health, and
you don’t need a standard chimney system
with direct venting.
