Empire Boulevard SL Vent-Free Linear Fireplace, 30-Inch

The Boulevard Slim Line is defined by one standout number: 5.5 inches. That's the full depth of this 30-inch vent-free linear fireplace — shallow enough to recess into a standard 2x6 wall, fit partially into a 2x4 wall, or surface-mount with the addition of the Cabinet Wrap (DCSL30BL) and Decorative Front (DFSL30MBL). In other words, it works with the wall you already have, not the one you wish you'd framed.

Output sits at 10,000 BTU maximum, with a rated heating capacity of up to 417 square feet — enough to take genuine ownership of a primary living space or bedroom. And yes, the Boulevard SL is certified for bedroom installation where local codes permit, which is a distinction that actually matters when you're siting a vent-free appliance.

Ignition is handled by an Intermittent Pilot (IP) electronic system, so there's no standing pilot burning gas around the clock when the fireplace isn't in use. A battery backup module is included in the box, meaning a power outage won't leave you without heat on the night you need it most. The included on/off wall switch arrives with a 10-foot extension wire — enough reach to keep the controls where they're useful rather than where they're merely accessible.

Safety is addressed with an Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) and a state-of-the-art safety pilot system, both standard. The included fine mesh barrier screen provides an additional layer of protection at the fireplace opening. Gas inlet pressure requirements run from 5.0 to 10.5 inches w.c., with the manifold set at 3.5 inches w.c. — consult your installer for connection details specific to your gas supply.

Installation flexibility is a genuine selling point here, not a marketing abstraction. For a fully recessed fit in a 2x6 wall, tile or another non-combustible material finishes the opening; the optional Narrow Trim (DFSL30PBL) dresses it out cleanly and adjusts from 1/2 to 1 inch in depth to account for real-world wall variations. Partial recess into a 2x4 wall calls for the Decorative Front (DFSL30MBL). Surface-mount adds the Cabinet Wrap (DCSL30BL) alongside that same Decorative Front. Each path is straightforward; the accessories are what determine your finished look.

The unit ships at 50 pounds and carries a 5-year limited warranty with a matching 5-year limited labor warranty — coverage that reflects the confidence behind the engineering. The Boulevard SL is a component within the broader Boulevard SL 30-inch ecosystem, compatible with the full line of Boulevard SL accessories for those who want to build out the installation further.
