Product Description

Tahoe Premium 42" overview

The Empire Tahoe Premium 42" Direct Vent Gas Fireplace (DVP42FP31 millivolt, DVP42FP70 electronic) is a wide, traditional zero-clearance fireplace for great rooms and large living rooms where the look of a big log fire matters more than maximum heat output.

Its deeper firebox, about 20", allows a taller, deeper log stack on Empire's Slope Glaze burner, which gives the fire real dimension. Unlike the Luxury line, it uses a four-piece log set and offers both top and rear venting, which can simplify placement on an outside wall.

Key features

Deeper firebox for a taller log stack
Four-piece log set on the Slope Glaze burner
Wide 22" x 36½" tempered glass
Top or rear venting
Millivolt, millivolt with blower, or electronic with remote and blower
Optional Aged Brick, Herringbone, Stacked Limestone or Black Reflective liners

Venting & installation

The Tahoe Premium 42 vents on Empire's listed 5" x 8" direct vent pipe from the top or rear; power-vent kits are available for difficult runs. See the venting recommendation on this page. It should be installed per the manufacturer's installation manual and local codes, by a qualified installer.

What to order with it

Required: fuel, ignition package and a fireplace barrier (Black Barrier Screen or Black Rectangle Doors with barrier screen). Optional: a liner, decorative fronts, alternate log sets, blowers, remotes and heat management.
