Description
The Valcourt FP15A Waterloo is startling in size and is a logical and environmentally friendly option for any homeowner looking to combine a unit with style and great efficiency. Choose from four beautiful face plate louvers to personalize the living space. With a large wood fireplace, there is a large glass door. The 4.3 cubic foot combustion chamber can hold an impressive 60 lbs of wood. This energy efficient fireplace complies with the EPA's clean-air standards with only 1.6 g/h of emission.
This unit is capable of heating large spaces and burns for about 10 hours. A hot start is always your best guarantee for a clean burn. The FP15A uses an automated combustion air intake system that allows the fire to reach an ideal temperature before going into slow burn mode. The result is very low emissions, without the need for a catalytic combustor.

Appliance performance ( 1 )
( 1 ) Values are as measured per test method, except for the recommended heating area, firebox volume, maximum burn time and maximum heat output.
( ) Recommended heating area and maximum burn time may vary subject to location in home, chimney draft,heat loss factors, climate, fuel type and other variables. The recommended heated area for a given appliance is defined by the manufacturer as its capacity to maintain a minimum acceptable temperature in the designated area in case of a power failure.
( 2 ) The maximum heat output (dry cordwood) is based on a loading density varying between 15 lb/ft³ and 20 lb/ft³ and reloading intervals ranging from 60 to 120 minutes. Other performances are based on a fuel load prescribed by the standard without any reloading between start and finish. The specified loading density varies between 7 lb/ft³ and 12 lb/ft³. The moisture content is between 19% and 25%.
( 3 ) As measured per CSA B415.1-10 stack loss method.
( 4 ) Higher Heating Value of the fuel.
( 5 ) Lower Heating Value of the fuel.
( 6 ) Performances based on a fuel load prescribed by the standard at 7 lb/ft³ and with a moisture content between 19% and 25%.
( 7 ) Optimum overall efficiency at a specific burn rate (LHV).
( 8 ) The optimum heat transfer efficiency is for the low burn rate (using HHV) and represents the appliance’s ability to convert the energy contained in the wood logs into energy transferred to the room in the form of heat and does not take into account the chemical losses during combustion.
( 9 ) This appliance is officially tested and certified by an independent agency.
( 10 ) Carbon monoxyde.
