Empire Tahoe 32" Direct Vent Zero Clearance Gas Fireplace

At 24,000 BTU/hr maximum input and a viewing area measuring 27.5 inches wide by 24.87 inches tall, the Empire Tahoe Clean Face Traditional 32" is built to do real work — warming a room while looking like it was always meant to be there. The clean-face design keeps the surround uncluttered, so your mantel or tile work takes center stage rather than a ring of visible metal trim.

Zero clearance construction means this unit can be framed directly into a wall without the buffer of a traditional masonry surround, opening up placement options that a built-from-scratch fireplace simply cannot match. The 4 x 6 5/8-inch top vent configuration handles exhaust and combustion air as a sealed, direct vent system — no dedicated chimney required, and no borrowed air from your living space.

The millivolt control system operates independently of household current, which means a power outage isn't a reason to go cold. Output is adjustable between 18,000 and 24,000 BTU/hr (5.27 to 7.03 kWh), giving you a meaningful range between "take the chill off" and "this room is genuinely warm."

Overall dimensions are 34.43 inches wide by 17.5 inches deep by 38.12 inches tall without standoff, and the unit ships at 121 pounds — substantial enough that you'll want a second set of hands for installation day. The 27 x 25-inch tempered glass panel holds up to the heat while keeping the firebox visible and the view clean.

Installation requires a 6-piece Ceramic Fiber Log Set, sold separately, to complete the traditional aesthetic and protect the firebox floor. For venting, this unit is approved for use with eight direct vent systems: Duravent DVA-H2, Duravent Pro, American Metal Products, Selkirk Direct-Temp, Security Secure Vent, Metal Fab Sure Seal, Olympia VENTIS, and the Empire Flexvent Kit DVVK-4F. That's a broad enough compatibility list that sourcing the right vent components for your specific installation shouldn't become the hard part of this project.

Part of the DVCP(32,36,42)BP3 series, this 32-inch model shares select internal components with its larger 36- and 42-inch siblings — a practical detail if you're a builder or installer working across multiple projects in the same line.
