Empire's Tahoe Luxury 36-inch clean-face direct vent gas fireplace looks site-built: a large ceramic glass window, a barrier screen and finish material right to the edge. Up to 37,000 BTU, about 22" o...
The Empire Tahoe Luxury 36" Clean Face Direct Vent Gas Fireplace (DVCX36FP series) is for homeowners who want the look of a masonry fireplace without building one. Its clean face lets tile or stone run up to the opening, so the finished wall reads like a custom, built-in fireplace.
It differs from the standard Tahoe Luxury 36 by that flush face and a larger ceramic glass window. It needs only a little over 22" of depth, vents from the top out a wall or roof on a single 5" x 8" hole, and comes with a barrier screen.
