{"product_id":"empire-tahoe-32-direct-vent-zero-clearance-gas-fireplace","title":"Empire Tahoe 32\" Direct Vent Zero Clearance Gas Fireplace","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZero 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOverall 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24,000 BTU\/hr maximum input (18,000 BTU\/hr minimum) for meaningful, adjustable heat output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge 27.5\" W x 24.87\" H viewing area framed by clean-face traditional styling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZero clearance construction — frames directly into standard wall framing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect vent, sealed combustion: no chimney, no borrowed interior air\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMillivolt control system operates without household electricity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop vent configuration: 4 x 6 5\/8\" direct vent (top vent only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e27 x 25\" tempered glass panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall dimensions: 34.43\" W x 17.5\" D x 38.12\" H (without standoff)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips at 121 lbs — professional installation recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with 8 approved direct vent systems including Duravent DVA-H2, Selkirk Direct-Temp, and Empire Flexvent Kit DVVK-4F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequires 6-piece Ceramic Fiber Log Set to complete installation (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the DVCP(32,36,42)BP3 series — shares components with 36\" and 42\" models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDirect Vent Zero Clearance Gas Fireplace Heater\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControl System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMillivolt (MV)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFuel Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural Gas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Btu\/Hr Maximum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Btu\/Hr Minimum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKwh Maximum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.03\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKwh Minimum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.27\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlass Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27 x 25 inches (tempered)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34.43\" W x 17.5\" D x 38.12\" H (without standoff)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVenting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 x 6 5\/8\" Top Vent Only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eViewing Area\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27.5\" W x 24.87\" H\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTahoe Clean Face Traditional 32\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItem Weight Lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e121.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Empire Comfort Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45054073995472,"sku":"DVCP32BP30N","price":2179.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/3999\/5088\/files\/DVCP32BP30_01.jpg?v=1782711598","url":"https:\/\/www.shopsandersgas.com\/products\/empire-tahoe-32-direct-vent-zero-clearance-gas-fireplace","provider":"Shop Sanders Gas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
