We are imagining installing this in a bathroom, beside the tub, with a one foot space between the closest tub edge and the front face of the fireplace. The fireplace would be "raised" to be visible to the tub occupant. Would it be too hot, with this spacing, for the tub occupant? Would there be an issue if water was accidentally splashed on the fireplace glass when it was hot?
1 Answer
If water splashed on the glass while it was operating or hot, this would shatter the glass. And it could very easily get too hot in a small area, such as a bathroom with this unit.

Are there any issue with mounting a television above the unit?
1 Answer
The manufacturer does not provide any specific television clearances for this fireplace, so a television could not be installed above this particular model with any certainty the television would not be damaged. In general, television clearances are not provided specifically in any product literature for gas hearth systems as there are far too many variables to consider. Television manufacturers use hundreds of different plastics in the manufacturing process and each will have a different temperature limit. Normally, consumers may refer to the mantel clearances that are typically provided for gas hearth systems. However, the manufacturer does not provide any mantel clearances for this model, so this guidance is unavailable. It would be at your own risk to install any television above this fireplace, but if you must, I recommend recessing the television above the fireplace and/or installing a noncombustible mantel shelf in between the fireplace and television.

How deep is this unit? Can it be put in a standard wall between a bedroom and living room? How much would stick out on each side if it was centered? How big is the flue? Will the blower blow out both sides?
1 Answer
This unit is 18" deep, and can be installed in a wall provided you maintain the required 17" framing depth. The flue pipe will be 4" inner diameter, 6 5/8" outer diameter. The blower will indeed circulate heat between both sides.

Can the outer trim of this Empire Loft see-through direct vent gas fireplace with RF controls and decorative surround be tiled over?
1 Answer
It is not recommended to tile over the front of the unit as this would block access to the controls and service parts located below the fireplace face.

You will need to choose a surround from the drop down menu on the item's page, and you will need to purchase the venting components separately, which will be listed under "Venting Components" on the item's page.

February 8, 2015
Can this fireplace be run on portable propane bottles? Is there a surface finish suitable for outside use in a salty environment?
1 Answer
This unit should be fueled by a 20 pound propane tank or larger. Ideally, the tank would be a 40 pound cylinder, but 20 will work for short operations.
This unit is not intended for use with one side against the outdoor elements. If this is to be the case, I highly recommend having a custom enclosure built out of stainless steel and tempered glass that could completely encompass the outside of the unit.

Can this fireplace be used with a thermostat to automatically come on as a back-up heat source?
1 Answer
The included remote control for this model has thermostatic capabilities. As such, you can program a desired set point that would allow the unit to come on when the room air has gotten cool enough.

November 24, 2014
Do I have to use the additional metal surround kit if I am using a non combustible surround that is made out of stone?
1 Answer
The surrounds for this particular model must be used. Not only do they provide a bit of perimeter overlap, but they also serve to cover the mechanics at the top and the bottom of the unit. Without them, the fireplace would appear unfinished. The surrounds can overlap any surrounding stone work, as long as the face of the fireplace itself is flush with the wall.

4 years and just as beautiful
We bought this unit in 2012 for a home we remodeled. We removed an existing wood fireplace that took up too much room. This is perfect. It truly is a piece of art on the wall. We added some Amber and black glass and some cones, squares and rock shapes that are designed for gas fireplaces. And the people at efireplace were incredibly helpful. Everytine the contractor had questions, they were available. I haven't even purchased a remote yet, it is very easy to turn on and off.

Focal Point of Home
We ordered and have this installed in the center of our new house. It is just what we were looking for without spending a fortune. We love to enjoy fires and this allows us to in our living room and kitchen. Product is as described and gives off a lot of heat. Flame is beautiful and the remote if nice to have. We get a lot of compliments. If you have small children be AWARE the glass gets very hot. This is Radiant heat and you should order the Screen protector. Our kids are older but was surprised at the amount of heat. Overall A++ Customer Service was Fantastic.
ProsLooks, Heat, Design, Price, Functions, CUSTOMER SERVICE ( my installer wouldn't test the unit so EFireplace walked me through it ) Very patient & helpful. My builders H/C guy installed it turned into a jerk when we didn't do some upgrades. Should have used my guy.
ConsGlass gets Very Hot ( Beware ) and the collar for the roof vent was too small but improvised.

Twice the beauty
This fireplace is exactly as described. Easy to install and a great product. Great in appearance and the remote allows you to sit back and change the mood.
One recommendation is to order the logs or rocks which are not included. I bought a bag of lava rock at the local hardware store until mine arrive.

Sets My Heart Ablaze
The fireplace was absolutely as described and the only minor hitch was that the remote control was not sent in the original package. Customer service promptly sent the remote control along. All automated features on it - fabulous! I am still waiting to install the fireplace so can't speak to its glow/ heat, etc. Already though, as it sits in the spot in the new wall that is allocated for it, the see-through fireplace sets my heart ablaze with the joy at the thought of the beauty of the heat and gorgeous fire that is going to come!
