Is there a building code that requires the builder to put a fireplace hood or mantel in a new house? Can a builder be held liable if the heat travels upward and damages the wall above the fireplace?
1 Answer
A fireplace hood or mantel would needed if the manual for the specific model required it for installation. As for the liability, that would be a question for a lawyer or building inspector in your particular area.

My gas fireplace is surrounded by marble. Do I have to drill into the marble to install this vent hood? Can this hood be used on a non-empire fireplace?
1 Answer
Yes, this is a surface-mount hood and it would require anchoring into the surrounding marble since it should not be attached to the fireplace itself. Since it is a surface-mount hood, an Empire-branded fireplace is not required for installation.

I am installing a TV above my fireplace. Does this product need to be the width of the fireplace or TV? Also, how far above this product can I hang a TV?
1 Answer
This product would need to extend wider than your fireplace by a minimum of 1" on each side of the fireplace. There is no height requirement for a television to be above a fireplace, although the higher above the opening, the better due to the amount of heat that is directed up out of the fireplace.

Can this be mounted to the brick above the fireplace opening? Will it sufficiently deflect heat from ventless gas logs and a T.V and sound bar mounted above?
1 Answer
This hood may indeed be mounted on the surface above the fireplace opening and a hood like the product in question should always be used with ventless gas logs. If the television is installed above the mantel and the mantel is installed at the proper height above the fireplace opening per the gas log manufacturer's minimum mantel clearance requirements, this hood should protect the television and mantel.

We have an insert that has started to ruin the mantle above it. The insert already has a hood so this would be in addition to the current hood. Would something like this work? The insert is approximately 4in deep, so this should still stick out 1/2 in. Just not sure if that is enough to protect the mantle above.
1 Answer
We apologize, but there is no way for us to know if an additional 1/2" projection will sufficiently protect your mantel. We recommend verifying your model's specific mantel clearance requirements, which should also indicate if such clearances can be reduced by a hood, and, if so, what the projection of the hood should be.

Was impressed by this product. I ordered for two jobs and each install went smoothly. I really liked the paint finish on these and more importantly my customers did too. Will definitely order this brand again.
Versatile in that it can easily be installed inside the opening or on the face. Came with all necessary attachment hardware.
Slight oil residue on installation brackets got on my hands and I inadvertently smudged a little onto the face of the hood on one of them, but I was able to wipe off to customers' satisfaction. All's well that ends well.

High quality construction
The product is obviously of high quality and exactly as advertised. On a flush surface, it would be very easy to install. However, I did not want to risk cracking the three-quarter inch thick marble surround so the unit had to be installed directly to the sheet metal of the gas fireplace and inside the perimeter of the surround. This makes the installation a little tricky because the screws have to be inserted and tightened blind when installing inside the surround.
A few tips: use masking tape on the sheet metal and the unit itself as a template to mark and locate the screws. After drilling the holes use the screws to thread the holes so the screws can be hand started when installing the unit. Once started the screws can be tightened easily by using a small socket in vise grip pliers.

Our non-vent gas logs were making mantel and wall above fireplace VERY hot. Did research and found e-fireplace options.
Easy to install (assuming you have masonry drill bit to put anchors in brick); looks nice; good price; has made significant difference on how hot mantel gets.
When received and read included instructions, based on height and size of mantel, probably should have bought 6" rather than 4". Wish this info had been more obvious on website.

Empire Adjustable Fireplace Hood
The Empire 28" to 48" Black Adjustable Fireplace Hood is just what we were looking for - it was easy to install and it protects our mantle from exposure to high heat while directing the warm air flow into our living area.

Well described in headline. A side picture would be very helpful. I was not sure, exactly, when ordering.
This product required careful measuring to install. A small, plastic hole alignment tool would have been very helpful. (To align the two holes on each side.)

Looks Good...Hard to Install
Because of the location of the screws, it is practically impossible to tighten them. They are so high up in the hood that you cannot get a screwdriver up there to tighten them down. However, it works well and deflects the heat away from my mantle. It would be much better if it had a "cool to the touch" finish on the topside. The metal gets very hot.
Looks good, blends in well.
Hard to install, gets very hot.

Installed in about 15 minutes. Helps if you have a hammer drill.
