Direct Vent Gas Fireplace · 32 in. · Natural Gas or Propane · Millivolt
The Empire Tahoe Deluxe 32 is a built-in direct vent gas fireplace with a contour burner and a hand-painted ceramic fiber log set. It needs no household electricity to run and frames in just 16-3/8 in. deep.
A standing pilot lit by a piezo igniter and a self-powering thermopile run the fireplace, so it keeps working in a power outage. Heat input runs from 14,000 to 18,000 BTU on natural gas or propane, and an on/off switch handles daily use.
A barrier screen or a door set with barrier screen is required and sold separately. The fireplace is design-certified to ANSI Z21.88 / CSA 2.33 and by UL. Framing measures 35-3/4 in. by 34-3/8 in. by 16-3/8 in. deep.
