Product Description

The Tahoe Deluxe 48" Direct Vent Gas Fireplace from Empire

The Tahoe Deluxe is available in (4) Sizes:

Deluxe models feature a Contour tube-style burner, designed to complement the hand-painted ceramic fiber log set, and produce a natural dancing flame.

Choose a conventional Deluxe Tahoe model – with louvers and available trim kits. The Deluxe model features large heat resistant, tempered glass windows that provide an unobstructed view to the log set. Optional liner offerings available are Aged Brick, Herringbone, Stacked Limestone, and Black Reflective. 

DVD models require just 16 inches of depth and use 4 x 6-5/8 venting, making it ideal for applications where wall-cavity space is tight. Conventional Deluxe fireplaces may be installed in the wall or in a cabinet or corner mantel. Tile or other non-combustible material may be used to conceal the outer edge of the fireplace to provide a true built-in appearance.

The Deluxe model is offered in Millivolt and Intermittent Pilot.
