Let the fire shape the room.
Build a front-facing focal point, open one corner to the room or bring the flame around a three-sided bay. Orion V2 Multi gives the installation a choice of viewpoints, with a lit log set and layered flame presentation inside the firebox.
The V2 experience combines virtual LCD flames, ember-bed lighting and sound. Choose from 24 flame options, then adjust the presentation with the included remote, on-appliance controls or the Modern Flames + app. The app is specific to V2; it is different from the standard Modern Flames app.
Decide how the room will meet the flame before the wall is built. Front-facing and three-sided installations use different opening widths; the fit section below separates them.
One fireplace. Several ways to make it yours.
Flame, light and sound
Virtual flame styles, the lit log set and adjustable lighting work together. Use the V2 controls to change the flame presentation and audio settings.
Comfort on your terms
The controls separate flame and heater settings, so the fireplace can remain a visual focal point when additional warmth is not wanted. It is designed for supplemental heat, not as the home’s primary heating system.
See the V2 flame in motion.
Watch the Orion V2 family flame demonstration for its moving flame and log detail. The clip illustrates the V2 presentation; use this model’s technical information for size and installation planning.
Plan the opening. Then make it yours.
Choose the viewing arrangement before framing. Standard built-in and three-sided/bay installations have different opening widths, shown separately below. These are fully recessed framing measurements; partial-recess and wall-mount methods have separate instructions.
| Reference | Details |
|---|---|
| Standard built-in opening | 51″ W × 24-3/4″ H × 9″ minimum D |
| Three-sided / bay opening | 50-5/8″ W × 24-3/4″ H × 9″ minimum D |
| Nominal model size | 52 inches |
| Power planning | Dedicated supply; qualified electrician |
The pieces behind the presentation.
The package includes the flame media, remote and mounting equipment below. Plan the electrical cord separately; it is not supplied. The optional cabinet suite is sold separately.
| Reference | Details |
|---|---|
| Fireplace & presentation | Firebox · lit log set · crushed glass · wood chips |
| Controls | Remote control · AAA batteries |
| Installation equipment | Mounting bracket · drywall stops · suction cups · L-flanges · hardware |
| Plan separately | Electrical cord is not included · optional cabinet suite sold separately |
Make the important choices before the wall closes.
Agree the viewing arrangement, power supply and access plan with the installer before closing the wall. A qualified electrician must provide the electrical connection; no cord is supplied. A separately sold wall-mount cabinet suite is an optional finishing approach, not part of this fireplace package.
A covered outdoor setting, carefully planned.
For a built-in outdoor installation, place the V2 Multi under a patio cover, away from direct water and direct sunlight. Have your installer check front and side cover based on the roof height measured from the fireplace bottom, as well as the required height above the floor. Use the built-in method in a properly covered location; do not install it on an exposed patio.
Before you make it part of the room.
How does the viewing arrangement change framing for OR52-MULTI-V2?
Choose it before framing. A front-facing installation and a three-sided/bay installation do not use the same rough-opening width. For OR52-MULTI-V2, the rough-opening widths are 51 inches for the standard built-in opening and 50-5/8 inches for the bay opening, with the other framing requirements kept separate.
Does it have to be fully recessed?
It can be fully recessed, partially recessed or wall mounted using the applicable installation method. Choose the method first: support, finishing and opening requirements differ. Do not use the fully recessed framing table for a partial-recess installation.
Can I enjoy the flame without the heater?
Yes. The controls provide a heater-off setting while the flame presentation remains available. There is also an installer-accessible heater lockout for applications where heater operation is not wanted.
What should the electrician plan for?
Plan a dedicated supply with a qualified electrician. The installation instructions cover 120-volt operation and an optional 240-volt arrangement; the chosen supply and circuit must follow that method. The fireplace does not include an electrical cord. Changing a plug is not a substitute for the correct circuit and connection.
Which phone app does OR52-MULTI-V2 use?
Use Modern Flames + for Orion V2. It is different from the standard Modern Flames app. The supplied remote and on-appliance controls remain available for operation without using a phone.
Do basic controls require a phone?
No. A remote control is supplied, and the fireplace also has a touch-control panel. The phone app adds connected features; it is not the only way to operate the fireplace.
Why is there a delay after power is restored?
Allow approximately 20–30 seconds for startup after a master-switch reset or loss of power. The picture may not appear immediately during that boot period. Give startup time to complete before treating the delay as a fault.
Will it work on an uncovered patio?
The documented outdoor installation is built-in, under a patio cover and protected from direct water and sunlight. An uncovered patio does not meet that description. Use the full outdoor instructions when planning front protection, side protection and the height above the floor.
Can it replace the main heating system?
It is intended for supplemental heat. Treat the flame as a design feature and the heater as additional comfort; have the room’s primary heating needs planned separately.
Is the five-year warranty automatic?
Five-year coverage requires product registration; the standard appliance period is two years. Integrated screens have separate one-year coverage. Coverage is for the original purchaser, is non-transferable and is subject to the written warranty’s purchase and other conditions. Keep the purchase receipt and complete registration promptly.

OUR PRODUCT ASSESSMENT
Hearth Outpost Score
8.4/10
An Orion Multi earns its space when you can see the fire from more than one seat. A corner installation can serve a sofa and a dining table, while a bay leaves both ends in view. On V2, illuminated logs and the layered flame image give you something to look at close up as well as across the room. We would settle the viewing sides before the cabinetry and ask the installer how the glass and appliance can be reached after the wall is finished.

What owners are saying
Stacey describes rebuilding a former propane fireplace around the 60-inch V2 and finding the anchors straightforward. Getting the phone app working took more time. A 52-inch original Orion owner reported repeated loss of the flame image after a warranty replacement. Those are two quite different ownership experiences across generations.
What stands out
A side window has real value when a chair or doorway looks across the hearth. Tape the proposed glass edges on the wall and check them from both rooms before committing to a bay.
What to weigh before buying
Stone laid across the front can make a future replacement a much bigger job. Ask the installer to show you how the glass comes off and which pieces of facing would have to come out to replace the entire firebox.
Value Consideration
Spend on the wider view if someone will actually see it. For a sofa directly opposite the wall, compare a front-view fireplace and put the difference toward a finish you enjoy up close.
