The Galaxy GSS74 is a 74" outdoor gas fireplace with electronic ignition and natural gas fuel — a wide, linear flame presentation built as a permanent architectural feature in an outdoor living space. At 376 lbs and $6,189, it is the larger of the two Galaxy models in this catalog.
Why Customers Choose This Product

- Electronic ignition — on and off without a match or manual lighter
- Safety glass viewing panel — a full view of the flame while containing heat and preventing contact with the burner

- The larger Galaxy format, for wide feature walls and large outdoor living rooms
Product Highlights
74" Linear Flame — Architectural Scale
A 74" linear fireplace produces a horizontal, wall-like flame, viewed across its full width rather than from all sides like a fire table. It suits linear seating arrangements, covered outdoor rooms with a feature wall, and spaces where a 360-degree fire table format is less appropriate than a directed architectural feature.
Natural Gas with Electronic Ignition
The GSS74 runs on natural gas with electronic (NE) ignition, the specification for a permanent fireplace connected to a residential gas line. A dedicated gas line run to the installation site by a licensed contractor is required. Confirm natural gas service is available at your property and accessible to the planned site before ordering, and contact us for gas line sizing requirements.
Safety Glass Viewing Panel
The flame viewing area uses safety glass — tempered or ceramic glass rated for gas fireplace operation — that allows a full view of the flame while containing heat and preventing contact with the burner. Contact us for the specific glass specification and the viewing area dimensions within the 74" unit.
GSS74 vs. GSS62: Two Galaxy Sizes
The GSS62 has a 62" viewing width, dual fuel (NG or LP), and a $5,139 price. The GSS74 has a 74" viewing width, natural gas only, and a $6,189 price. The 12" width difference is significant at fireplace scale: choose the GSS74 for large outdoor living rooms and wide feature walls, and the GSS62 for narrower walls or where propane is required.

Ideal For
- Large outdoor living rooms and covered patios where a 74" linear fire feature anchors the seating area
- Properties with natural gas service where a permanent connected fireplace is preferred over propane tank management
- Outdoor spaces designed around a feature wall or fireplace surround that suits the linear format
- Buyers who evaluated the GSS62 and determined 74" is the right width for their space and seating scale
- Outdoor living installations where the fireplace is the centerpiece investment rather than a supplementary feature
Important Information
A dedicated natural gas line must be run to the installation location by a licensed gas contractor before the fireplace can be used. This is a professional installation, not a DIY connection. Confirm gas service availability and line routing feasibility at your site before ordering.
A permanent outdoor gas fireplace installation typically requires a building permit and gas inspection; verify requirements with your local building authority, and confirm HOA approval if your property is governed by an HOA.
Foundation and surround: a level, structurally sound surface capable of supporting 376 lbs is required. The firebox requires an outdoor-rated surround material (stone, masonry, stucco, or metal); contact us for surround compatibility and minimum clearance specifications before designing the enclosure, and maintain all clearances from combustible materials specified in the installation manual.
At 376 lbs, the unit ships freight; a responsible adult must be present at delivery, and driveway and gate access should be confirmed before ordering. Contact us for BTU output, viewing area dimensions, glass specification, and surround finish options before ordering.
Seasonal care: inspect gas connections, the electronic ignition, and the glass panel at the start of each season. Keep the firebox clear of debris, leaves, and foreign objects during non-use, and cover the unit during extended non-use to protect the glass and interior. Do not position upholstered furniture, umbrellas, or pergola beams within the radiant heat zone.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the GSS74 and the GSS62?
Both are permanent outdoor gas fireplaces with electronic ignition in the Galaxy lineup. The GSS74 has a 74" viewing width, runs on natural gas, and is priced at $6,189. The GSS62 has a 62" viewing width, is dual fuel (natural gas or propane), and is priced at $5,139. Choose the GSS74 for large outdoor living rooms and wide feature walls; choose the GSS62 for narrower spaces or propane installations. Contact us to compare BTU output and dimensions before deciding.
Does the GSS74 require professional installation?
Yes. The GSS74 requires a dedicated natural gas line run by a licensed gas contractor, and the installation typically requires a building permit and gas inspection. It is a permanent outdoor fireplace installation, not a plug-and-play product. Contact us for installation requirements before ordering.
Is a propane version available?
The GSS74 specification confirms natural gas (NG) with electronic ignition (NE). Contact us to confirm whether a propane (LP) version is available if natural gas service is not accessible at your installation site.
What surround materials are compatible with the GSS74?
Common outdoor surround materials include natural stone, masonry block, stucco over metal framing, and steel, but compatibility must be confirmed against the GSS74 installation specifications before construction. Contact us for the specific compatibility list and clearance requirements before designing your enclosure.
The Galaxy GSS74 is the large-format Galaxy — 74" of linear flame on natural gas, behind safety glass, at 376 lbs. For outdoor living rooms where the fire feature is the architecture, this is the width that carries the wall.
