The Ventis HE275CF (VB00017) is an EPA 2020-certified zero-clearance wood fireplace that shares its firebox performance with the HE250R but is set up to distribute heat by gravity. Every HE275CF is ordered with a hot air gravity kit, which lets warm air rise out through the wall above the fireplace rather than relying only on the glass to radiate heat.
The numbers: a 2.5 cubic foot firebox for 20-inch logs, up to 80,000 BTU/hr on seasoned cordwood, 850 to 2,200 square feet, 74% optimum efficiency and 1.14 g/h. It is non-catalytic with a C-Cast baffle, Washington State approved, and has 258 square inches of fire viewing area.

The HE275CF is approved on 6" 1" solid-pack UL 103 HT chimney (Ventis or DuraVent DuraTech) with a minimum 15 ft from base to cap and a ventilated roof flashing; see the venting recommendation on this page. It should be installed per the manufacturer's installation manual and local codes by a qualified installer.
Choose one hot air gravity kit from the required group. Add 6" DuraVent DuraTech chimney, and any optional Ventis accessories.
What does the gravity kit do?
It lets heated air rise out of the enclosure through an outlet above the fireplace, without a fan.
Is it the same firebox as the HE250R?
The published firebox size, output and emissions are the same; the HE275CF is configured around the gravity heat kit.
