The Empire Innsbrook Direct Vent Fireplace Insert is designed to convert an existing wood burning fireplace into a natural gas heating appliance while maintaining a traditional fireplace appearance. The Empire Innsbrook large insert uses a sealed direct vent combustion system that draws combustion air from outdoors and exhausts combustion by products outside, helping keep room air separate from the combustion process. A clean face design, ceramic glass, blower, and hand painted ceramic fiber log set combine to provide efficient heat circulation and a classic flame presentation. The intermittent pilot ignition system offers energy saving operation and can be configured for standing or intermittent pilot use during power outages as described by the manufacturer. With a heating capacity of up to 28,500 BTU, the unit is intended for zone heating applications and can serve as a primary heat source where appropriate. The Empire Innsbrook Direct Vent Fireplace Insert also supports optional decorative liners, surrounds, control options, and additional accessories, allowing the installation to be customized while fitting many existing wood burning fireplaces.
