The Empire Rainier Fireplace Insert provides a practical way to convert an existing fireplace into a direct vent gas heating appliance while maintaining the appearance of a natural flame. Designed for natural gas operation, this Empire Rainier Natural Gas insert features an intermittent pilot ignition system with an on/off switch and delivers an adjustable heat output from 21,000 to 32,000 BTUs. A triple burner system with two elevated burners, glowing embers, ember glass, and accent lighting creates a layered flame presentation that is visible through the 19-inch high by 28-1/4-inch wide ceramic glass viewing area.
The built-in accent blower helps circulate warm air throughout the room, while the included remote control allows convenient adjustment of flame height, blower speed, and lighting functions. A battery backup supports operation during power outages. The Empire Rainier Direct Vent design is intended for fireplace insert installations and requires a compatible log set, liners, and surrounds, which are sold separately. The Empire Rainier Fireplace Insert includes the fireplace insert, blower, ceramic glass, ignition system with remote, ember media, accent lighting, power cord, and battery backup.
