The Empire Innsbrook Fireplace Insert DVC28IN71P is a large direct vent gas fireplace insert designed to convert an existing wood-burning fireplace into an efficient propane heating appliance. As part of the Empire Innsbrook collection and the Innsbrook Direct-Vent Insert lineup, this model features a sealed combustion system that draws combustion air from outdoors while venting exhaust outside, helping separate room air from the combustion process. The clean face design is paired with hand-painted ceramic fiber logs, a ceramic glass viewing area, and a Slope Glaze Burner that produces natural flickering flames. With a maximum heat output of 27,500 BTU, this Innsbrook Direct-Vent Inserts (DVC) model can serve as a primary heat source where appropriate. The included blower helps circulate warmed air throughout the room for improved comfort. An intermittent pilot ignition system helps reduce energy use during normal operation while allowing operation with either a standing or intermittent pilot during power outages. The insert includes a blower, log set, ceramic glass, and barrier screen, while the required surround and additional decorative accessories are sold separately.
