A quick guide to the Valor HeatShift™ System by Valor Fireplaces

Valor Gas Fireplaces can use a  unique HeatShift ™ system that transfers convective heat upwards through hidden ducts and directs it back into the room, completely bypassing walls and surface areas around the fireplace. 

This allows you to enjoy the peace of mind that surrounding walls, artwork, electronics and construction materials stay cool and are protected.

HeatShift ™ elevates heat naturally using gravity and convection – hot air rises. A raised heat outlet improves convection airflow and circulates air back into the room at a higher elevation, reducing wall temperatures and improving overall performance.

How HeatShift ™ works with your Valor Gas Fireplace

  1. Radiant heat from the firebox warm the people and objects in it’s path in the room
  2. Convective air rises naturally with HeatShift™, instead of conducting out and heating the wall and surrounds of the fireplace as a traditionally designed fireplace would
  3. Better heat exchange and superior air flow is created by shifting the hot air outlets higher up the wall, increasing comfort

Installation options

There are different installation options available with the LX2, Linea, Valor H5 and Valor H6 gas fireplaces

WALL PLENUM

A front wall outlet featuring a 38″ or 48″ plenum that can be painted to match your room design.

SIDE-WALL GRILLES

Position the grilles on two side walls to maintain a clean wall front, and paint to match your room design.

TOP VALANCE

Hide the system behind a wall valance while still maintaining the perfect balance of radiant and convective heat.
