Introducing HeatShift™ from Valor

Yes, it is safe to hang TVs or artwork above your gas fireplace with Valor’s unique HeatShift™ system.  Transfer convective heat upwards through hidden ducts and direct it back into the room, completely bypassing walls and surface areas around the fireplace with this innovative system. Enjoy peace of mind that your surrounding walls, artwork, electronics and construction materials stay cool and are protected.

Additionally HeatShift™ elevates heat naturally using gravity and Valor product ingenuity—no need to use electricity or a noisy fan.

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.

H3 Gas Fireplace

The H3 Gas Fireplace uses a unique HeatShift kit to maximize radiant heat, while keeping surrounding walls cool.

The H3 is a smaller fireplace compared to the H5, H6, or Linear models and will use a unique HeatShift setup in comparison.

The H3 gas fireplace is now compatible with th 30″ HeatShift plenum with 4″ collars, that can be finished with the 30″ frame. Please be aware that 30″ plenum is the only HeatShift option available for use with the H3 if HeatShift is to be implemented. There are no valance or sidewall options available.

The upgrades provide even more design flexibility for the H3 than ever before while still providing one of the most beautiful fires on the market.
