The Empire Innsbrook Propane Gas Traditional Fireplace Insert provides an efficient way to convert an existing wood-burning fireplace into a direct-vent gas heating appliance. Designed as part of the Empire Innsbrook collection, this Innsbrook Direct-Vent Insert uses a sealed combustion system that draws combustion air from outdoors while venting exhaust outside, helping separate indoor air from the combustion process. The clean face design includes ceramic glass, a blower, a barrier screen, and a hand-painted ceramic fiber log set positioned over the Slope Glaze Burner to produce natural-looking flames with adjustable flame height. This model features an intermittent pilot ignition system that can also operate with a standing pilot during power outages. With a heat output ranging from 15,000 to 19,500 BTUs, it is designed for zone heating and may be used as a primary heat source where appropriate. The insert is compatible with optional surrounds, decorative liners, decorative fronts, and additional control options, allowing installation to be tailored to a variety of existing fireplace openings while maintaining the direct-vent performance of the Innsbrook Direct-Vent Inserts (DVC) series.
