{"product_id":"empire-tahoe-clean-face-36-direct-vent-fireplace","title":"Empire Tahoe Clean Face 36\" Direct-Vent Fireplace","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Tahoe Clean Face Luxury 36\" fireplace opens with a glass panel measuring 32.5\" wide by 22\" tall — a viewing area large enough that you'll actually notice the fire, not squint at it. Behind that glass, a 9-piece log set sits over an expanded ember bed, framed by a rustic brick interior and brick floor that give the firebox genuine visual depth from the moment it's lit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRated at 34,000 BTU input, this is a direct-vent unit built around Empire's 5\" x 8\" vent-within-a-vent system with a top-vent configuration — meaning it draws combustion air and exhausts flue gases through a single concentric pipe, keeping your conditioned indoor air entirely out of the equation. The result is a sealed combustion chamber that performs efficiently without competing with your HVAC system for air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIgnition is millivolt — a standing pilot system that operates without any external electrical connection. If the power goes out, the fireplace stays on. The included manually variable valve gives you direct, hands-on control over flame height without requiring a remote or wall switch, though the DVCX36 line is also compatible with intermittent pilot and remote control configurations should you want to upgrade the ignition package separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt just over 22 inches deep and 36 inches wide, the Tahoe fits a standard fireplace opening without demanding a structural overhaul. The clean-face design means no visible frame interrupting the view — the firebox is designed to be finished flush with a decorative front and liner of your choosing (required for final installation, sold separately). This isn't a limitation so much as a feature: it gives you full control over the finish aesthetic without locking you into a single surround style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded in the box: the burner with expanded ember bed, a 9-piece log set, rustic brick fireplace interior, brick floor panel, manually variable valve, and a fireplace barrier screen. That's a meaningful amount of hardware ready to go, covering the core of the installation rather than leaving you to source components piecemeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt $3,909.00, the Tahoe Clean Face Luxury 36\" is priced as a serious hearth investment — one built on direct-vent engineering, a complete interior package, and the flexibility to finish it precisely as your space requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e36\" wide firebox with a 32.5\" x 22\" glass viewing area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e34,000 BTU input rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect-vent installation with 5\" x 8\" vent-within-a-vent, top-vent configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMillivolt ignition — operates independently of household electrical power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean-face design for a flush, frame-free finished look\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManually variable valve for direct flame-height control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes 9-piece log set and expanded ember bed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRustic brick fireplace interior and brick floor panel included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFireplace barrier screen included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust over 22\" depth — fits standard fireplace rough openings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with millivolt, intermittent pilot, and remote ignition options (DVCX36 line)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecorative front\/liner required to complete installation (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDVCX36FP30P\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTahoe Clean Face Luxury 36\" Fireplace\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFuel Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePropane (Liquid Propane)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Btu\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIgnition Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMillivolt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstallation Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDirect-Vent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFireplace Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFireplace Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ejust over 22 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVenting Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\" x 8\" vent-within-a-vent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVent Configuration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTop vent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlass Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32.5\" x 22\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncludes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBurner w\/ Expanded Ember Bed, 9-Piece Log Set, Rustic Brick Fireplace, Brick Floor, Manually Variable Valve, Fireplace Barrier Screen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Empire Comfort Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45054075502800,"sku":"DVCX36FP30P","price":3909.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/3999\/5088\/files\/DVCX36FP30_01.jpg?v=1782711633","url":"https:\/\/www.shopsandersgas.com\/products\/empire-tahoe-clean-face-36-direct-vent-fireplace","provider":"Shop Sanders Gas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
