{"product_id":"empire-vail-24-vent-free-fireplace-with-millivolt-control-2","title":"Empire Vail 24 Vent-Free Fireplace with Millivolt Control","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Empire Vail 24 puts 20,000 BTU of heat into a room without asking a single thing of your walls, ceiling, or roofline. Vent-free installation means the firebox goes where you need it — framed opening dimensions of 23.25\" W x 26.75\" H x 12.25\" D keep the rough-in manageable, while the 21\" x 17.56\" viewing area delivers a flame that actually commands attention rather than serving as a distant suggestion of warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the core of the Vail 24 is Empire's slope glaze burner system, which produces a convincing, layered flame through the included ceramic fiber log set and rock wool bed. The standing millivolt pilot requires no external electrical connection to operate — a practical advantage in a room addition, basement, or any space where running new wiring would be an event in itself. When you're ready to add convenience, the millivolt valve is remote-ready and compatible with Empire's remote control accessories, so you can adjust the fire from the sofa without making it a production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Vail 24 ships fully dressed: matte black louvers, outer frame, and hood are all included, giving the unit a clean, finished appearance straight out of the box. At 51 lbs, it's substantial without being a two-crew installation. Natural gas inlet pressure requirements run between 5\" and 10.5\" WC — confirm your supply line specs before installation, as these are fixed operating parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor those who want to go further with the fit and finish, the Vail 24 is compatible with a broad range of sold-separately accessories. Decorative metal frames are available in polished brass, hammered pewter, and stainless steel. Brick liners can dress the firebox interior, and blower kits add convective heat distribution. Cabinet mantels — in cherry, dark oak, oak, unfinished hardwood, unfinished oak, and white — as well as corner mantel options let you build the surround around the fireplace rather than compromise on one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Vail 24 carries a 5-year limited warranty and is backed by Empire Comfort Systems, a manufacturer with a long track record in residential hearth products. If the goal is reliable, installation-friendly heat with a legitimate flame presentation and room to customize the surround, the Vail 24 covers that ground without unnecessary complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20,000 BTU vent-free output — no chimney or flue required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmpire slope glaze burner system with ceramic fiber log set and rock wool included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStanding millivolt pilot operates independently of household electrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote-ready millivolt valve compatible with Empire remote control accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFraming dimensions: 23.25\" W x 26.75\" H x 12.25\" D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e21\" x 17.56\" viewing area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatte black louvers, outer frame, and hood included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural gas inlet pressure range: 5\" – 10.5\" WC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with sold-separately brick liners, blowers, and metal decorative frames\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable cabinet and corner mantels in multiple wood finishes (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e51 lbs — manageable single-unit installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-year limited warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVent-Free Fireplace\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVail 24\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 Control with Standing Pilot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBtu Output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Dimensions (W X D X H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22.62\" x 11\" x 37.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFraming Dimensions (W X H X D)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23.25\" x 26.75\" x 12.25\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eViewing Area Dimensions (W X H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21\" x 17.56\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eValve Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMillivolt Pilot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin\/Max Natural Gas Inlet Pressure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\"\/10.5\" WC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack (matte black louvers and frame)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFeatures\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStanding pilot, remote ready, fixed fire screen, Empire slope glaze burner system\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncludes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter frame, hood, louvers in matte black, ceramic fiber log set, rock wool\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e51 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5-year limited warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVenting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVent-free (no venting required)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItem Weight Lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e51.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Empire Comfort Systems","offers":[{"title":"Natural Gas","offer_id":45054091526352,"sku":"VFP24FP30LN","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Propane","offer_id":45054091559120,"sku":"VFP24FP30LP","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/3999\/5088\/files\/VFP24FP30L_01.jpg?v=1782711970","url":"https:\/\/www.shopsandersgas.com\/products\/empire-vail-24-vent-free-fireplace-with-millivolt-control-2","provider":"Shop Sanders Gas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
