SimpliFire
About this model
The SimpliFire Forum 43 brings a wide electric flame display to a porch, patio or indoor gathering space without a heater. Four flame effects, adjustable brightness and colorful ember-bed lighting create atmosphere without gas lines, propane tanks or wood.
Its coated components, corrosion-resistant materials and UV-resistant logs are designed for outdoor installations with proper flashing and drainage. Included logs and crystal media provide different looks, with optional ShadowGlo HD log upgrades listed by the manufacturer.
Washburn’s can help plan the framed enclosure, electrical supply and water-management details. Photos may show optional logs and separately supplied finishes.

Technical notes
This is a SimpliFire decorative outdoor electric fireplace with no heat output. It does not require gas, propane, wood or combustion venting.
The enclosure must carry the full appliance weight and shed water. Use the specified mounting bushings and washers to maintain ingress protection. Weather-resistant construction does not make the appliance waterproof.
Finish thickness limits vary between built-in overlap and recessed installation. The manual allows up to 5/8 in with front trim for the illustrated overlap method, and up to 2-1/4 in for the illustrated recessed method; use the exact diagrams for final construction.
Flame visibility is strongest in lower ambient light. Direct sunlight and bright reflections can reduce the effect. Photos may show optional logs and separately supplied stone, cabinetry or other room materials.
