How Do You Say Lopi?
We hear a lot of different pronunciations - Lopey...Loopee...loppy!
It’s actually pronounced Low-pie, and was created by our president, Kurt Rumens. The name was inspired by a love
of the Northwest, a fascination with Native American culture and the nature and wildlife that live in this beautiful
place. Lopi means beauty, strength and independence and has become a legend all its own.
Why We Only Make Direct Vent Gas Appliances
The American Lung Association discourages the use of vent-less appliances or appliances that take combustion air
from the inside of the home for health and environmental reasons. They recommend homeowners choose only
sealed, direct vent gas appliances 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 appliance also prevent excess
moisture from building up in your home. All Lopi direct vent gas stoves and fireplace inserts are sealed from the
inside of the home and meet the guidelines of the American Lung Associations Health House program.
Seven Year “Real World” Warranty
Lopi’s “Real World Warranty” puts other manufacturers lifetime warranties to shame. You will have the peace of
mind knowing that your gas stove or insert is supported by certified factory trained installers and retailers. The
firebox on Lopi gas appliance is covered for a FULL SEVEN YEARS. All parts and labor are covered for a FULL 2
YEARS. Compare our warranty to other manufacturer’s and you will find most won’t tell you about their one year
parts warranty or that there is no labor coverage after the first year on ANYTHING! Lopi truly offers the BEST
WARRANTY ON GAS APPLIANCES!
“Lopi is not so much a brand name as it is a tradition - of craftsmanship in the
construction of our gas fireplaces, and of pride to the families who own them.
We invite you to share this proud tradition”
Kurt Rumens

Is It A Wood Or Gas Fire?
Patented Ember-Fyre™ Burner
U. S. Patented #6,602,068; 6,443,726 and other patents pending.
Lopi gas stoves and fireplaces inserts feature the patented Ember-Fyre™ burner
system in all the gas fireplaces in this brochure. Popular Science® magazine
awarded the prestigious “BEST OF WHAT’S NEW” award to the Ember-Fyre as
one of the year’s top achievements in Science and Technology.
This combustion system delivers an efficiency of up to 82.2%. The level of
realism is so remarkable it is difficult to tell apart from our wood burning
appliances. Unlike other gas burners, the pilot is hidden. There are
no unsightly burner tubes or metal pans and the fire and
glowing embers are just as beautiful on the low flame
setting as they are on high.
How It Works:
1. Natural gas or propane is piped to a sophisticated
1. SIT™ gas valve and started with the reliable Piezo
1. ignition system. This gas burner is designed to
1. provide reliable, continuous operation even if the
1. power goes out in your home.
2. The low-pressure gas then flows to a precisely engineered
2. burner orifice.
3. A hidden mixing tube combines the gas with outside air. The
2. standard mix is set by the installer to compensate for variations in
2. altitude, fuel type and line pressure.
4. The gas/air mixture flows through a unique array of burner
2. ports in the ceramic base, where it ignites and burns.
5. As the Ember-Fyre™ burner heats to a deep red 1200°F,
it mimics the look of glowing wood embers and 2. 2.
2. charred logs. Dancing yellow flames further enhance
2. the look and feel of a real wood fire.
6. The fire passes over the hand-carved logs that are so incredibly detailed, you’ll be
2. amazed they are not the real thing.
7. For hands-free operation the optional remote control, modulating control or
2. wall thermostat allows you to set and maintain the comfort level of your home.

Heritage™
Incredible Technology
You’ll be amazed at the realism of our gas fire thanks to our patented Ember-Fyre™ burner technology. Dancing
yellow flames and glowing embers capture all the beauty of a real wood fire. It’s the most realistic gas fire
available - so real, you’ll be tempted to stir the embers and add more wood. Why not have a little fun fooling your
friends?
Heater Rated
Like all Lopi gas products, our gas stoves are serious heaters. All stoves are listed as a heater rated furnace, with
efficiencies exceeding 80%. Lopi gas stoves provide radiant heat to the immediate area with the added benefit of
a built-in convection chamber, which circulates room air around the appliance and returns it to your room as heat.
All stoves come equipped to burn natural gas (NG) or can easily be converted to propane (LP). The LP conversion
kit is included with every stove at no additional cost.
Flexible Installation
All Lopi gas stoves feature direct vent technology and can be vented vertically or horizontally (out the back on the
Sturbridge or off the top with the Berkshire and Heritage) adding location flexibility, and in many cases lowering
installation cost.
Our gas stoves do not require any type of hearth pad in many installations, including wood flooring. Lopi gas
stoves are approved for close clearances to the back wall without expensive heat shields. This saves valuable floor
space and eliminates the requirement of an expensive non-combustible wall protection.
Lopi dealers are experts at assisting where to best install a stove or stoves in your home.

Why Buy a Lopi Fireplace Insert?
Most of us enjoy sitting around an open fireplace in our home. Sadly we now know the fireplace chimney
is actually drawing heat out of the home. In fact an open fireplace sends up to 80% of the fire’s heat up the
chimney and depletes warm air from surrounding rooms. A Lopi gas insert is more than five times as efficient
as an open fireplace and distributes warm air throughout the home. You can convert your wasteful masonry
or metal fireplace into a super-efficient hearth system that can heat your home for a fraction of what you’d
pay for electricity or oil.
Lopi gas inserts feature standard 130 CFM convection fans and an optional remote control or thermostat for
added home owner convenience and comfort.
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)
Discovery (Black paint, Pewter or Antique Gold plated)
Cast Iron Bedford (New Iron paint - DVS only)
How To Select A Fireplace Insert
