{"product_id":"empire-tahoe-deluxe-48-inch-direct-vent-gas-fireplace","title":"Empire Tahoe Deluxe 48-Inch Direct-Vent Gas Fireplace","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Tahoe Deluxe 48-inch Direct-Vent Fireplace from Empire Comfort Systems is built around one genuinely useful idea: a fireplace that doesn't need electricity to run. The millivolt control system pairs with a pushbutton piezo igniter and standing pilot, meaning there's no electrical connection required and no battery backup to forget about. When the grid goes down on the one night you actually want a fire, this one keeps going.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 48 inches wide with a 16-inch depth, the Tahoe Deluxe fits a serious visual footprint into a surprisingly manageable cavity. The contour tube-style burner produces 28,000 BTU of heat output — enough to carry real warmth into a living space without turning the room into a sauna. Venting is handled through a 4-inch inner diameter chimney, keeping the installation straightforward for qualified installers working with direct-vent systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unit ships at 135 lbs, which is worth noting for installation planning — this is a substantial appliance, built to occupy its space with presence rather than apology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere the Tahoe Deluxe starts to show its range is in the finishing options. Four optional liner kits are available — Aged Brick, Herringbone, Stacked Limestone, and Black Reflective — each sold separately and designed to complement the firebox interior with a distinct aesthetic. Whether the room calls for something rustic and tactile or clean and contemporary, the liner selection covers the spread without requiring a custom build. Optional trim kits are also available for a polished surround fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Tahoe Deluxe product line spans four sizes — 32, 36, 42, and 48 inches — so if this unit is going into a new build or a renovation where dimensions are still in flux, there's a sibling size that may suit. The DVD48FP30N is the largest in the line, and it shows: the 48-inch opening commands attention in any room designed to receive it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor homeowners and builders who want a gas fireplace that operates independently of their home's electrical system, accepts a range of interior finishes, and arrives in a size that fills a wall properly, the Tahoe Deluxe 48-inch is a well-considered choice at $2,289.00.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e48-inch wide firebox with a 16-inch depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28,000 BTU output via contour tube-style burner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMillivolt control system — no electricity or battery backup required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePushbutton piezo igniter with standing pilot for reliable, power-independent lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect-vent design requires 4\" inner diameter chimney\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with four optional liner styles: Aged Brick, Herringbone, Stacked Limestone, and Black Reflective\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional trim kits available for a finished surround appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips at 135 lbs — substantial construction for a permanent installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the Tahoe Deluxe line, available in 32\", 36\", 42\", and 48\" sizes\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\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTahoe Deluxe 48-inch Direct-Vent Fireplace\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48 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\u003eControl System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMillivolt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBtu Output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28,000 BTU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBurner Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContour tube-style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVenting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4\" inner diameter chimney required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIgnition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePushbutton Piezo igniter (standing pilot)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Requirements\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo electric or battery backup required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItem Weight Lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e135.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Empire Comfort Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45054077534416,"sku":"DVD48FP30N","price":2289.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/3999\/5088\/files\/DVD48FP30_01.jpg?v=1782711671","url":"https:\/\/www.shopsandersgas.com\/products\/empire-tahoe-deluxe-48-inch-direct-vent-gas-fireplace","provider":"Shop Sanders Gas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
