{"product_id":"empire-tahoe-clean-face-traditional-42-direct-vent-fireplace","title":"Empire Tahoe Clean Face Traditional 42\" Direct Vent Fireplace","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt 28,500 BTU\/hr maximum input, the Empire Tahoe Clean Face Traditional 42\" Direct Vent Fireplace means business. It operates as a zero-clearance direct vent heater, drawing combustion air from outside and expelling exhaust through a sealed flue system — so it works efficiently in tightly built modern homes without requiring a traditional masonry chimney.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \"clean face\" design omits the front louvers found on older fireplace formats, giving you an unobstructed view of the firebox and a sleeker architectural profile. The result is a fireplace that reads as a considered design choice rather than an afterthought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMillivolt ignition means the system operates independently of household electricity — a detail that earns quiet appreciation the first time the power goes out on a cold evening. The variable input range runs from 21,000 BTU\/hr up to 28,500 BTU\/hr, giving you meaningful control over heat output rather than a single on\/off choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOut of the box, the unit is remote-ready, so adding wireless flame and heat control is straightforward with a compatible remote (sold separately). For those who prefer not to get up from the sofa to adjust the fire, this is not a trivial feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne important note before checkout: the Tahoe 42\" ships without a log set. Ceramic fiber logs are required to complete the firebox interior and must be purchased separately. This is worth planning for so your installation timeline doesn't stall waiting on a second shipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecified at 8.35 kWh maximum, this is a substantive heating appliance, not a decorative accent with a flame attached. Installation requires proper direct vent termination and should be completed by a qualified technician in accordance with local codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28,500 BTU\/hr maximum input with a 21,000 BTU\/hr minimum for adjustable heat output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZero-clearance direct vent design — no masonry chimney required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean face firebox format with no front louvers for a clean, architectural look\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMillivolt ignition operates independently of household electricity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote-ready out of the box — compatible remote sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e42\" firebox size suits larger living spaces and open floor plans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect vent sealed combustion draws outside air, improving indoor air quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8.35 kWh maximum rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic fiber log set required to complete interior — must be purchased separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural gas fuel type\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTahoe Clean Face Traditional 42\" Direct Vent Fireplace\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42 inch\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\u003eIgnition Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMillivolt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Btu\/Hr Maximum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28,500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Btu\/Hr Minimum (Millivolt Only)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKwh Maximum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.35\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDesign Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDirect Vent Zero Clearance Gas Fireplace Heater\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Empire Comfort Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45054074618064,"sku":"DVCP42BP30N","price":2499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.shopsandersgas.com\/products\/empire-tahoe-clean-face-traditional-42-direct-vent-fireplace","provider":"Shop Sanders Gas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
