Heat & Glo SL-7F 36 Inch Natural Gas Fireplace With IntelliFire Touch – Black (SL-7F-IFT)

The Heat & Glo SlimLine Fusion SL-7F-IFT is a 36-inch direct-vent gas fireplace designed to combine contemporary styling with a compact installation profile. Its sleek black hood and full-coverage mesh safety front create a clean, understated appearance, while the standard ceramic-fiber log set provides a traditional fireside aesthetic. With an appliance depth of approximately 16-5/16 inches, the fireplace is suited to residential projects where conserving usable room space is important. The design also supports optional decorative finishes and media for a more personalized installation.

Designed for Natural Gas, the SL-7F-IFT has a heat input rating of 16,500–24,000 BTU per hour according to the 2026 price book. Its IntelliFire Touch ignition system provides convenient electronic operation, with compatible touchscreen remote-control options and battery backup. The appliance includes tempered glass, a gas flex connector, junction box, 12-foot control wire, and both top- and rear-vent connection options. The current manufacturer webpage lists a maximum input of 23,500 BTU/hr, so the appliance rating plate and applicable documentation should be checked when finalizing technical catalog data.

The SlimLine Fusion series offers additional customization through optional reflective black glass interior panels, decorative crushed-glass media, glass beads, multicolored ceramic stones, black trim kits, and a fan kit. The standard mesh safety front and black hood are included with the SL-7F-IFT. Optional trim and media accessories must be selected according to model compatibility, and the approved installation manual must be followed for framing, venting, gas connections, and clearance requirements.
