Empire RH25 Console Gas Room Heater - Propane

The draft diverter is the assembly on the back of the heater that guides the flue gases either upwards or out horizontally, depending on your installation and how you have the diverter positioned (it is adjustable to either vertical or horizontal venting).

This unit can be vented through a wall. However, this unit is a B-Vent appliance so its venting must be terminated vertically.

Good morning, The Empire RH25 Console Gas Room Heater - Propane delivers 25,000 BTUs, suitable for medium to large rooms. For a 900 sq ft space, while it may be adequate, consider a higher BTU unit if it's your primary heat source or if insulation is poor. This heater requires no electricity, operating on a matchless piezo ignition system and hydraulic thermostat, so it will continue to heat during a power outage. A blower, if available, would require electricity. This model does not support remote controls or wall thermostats; temperature is adjusted via a rotary knob on the unit. The RH25 is a natural vent (B-vent) heater, using room air for combustion and venting through a pipe that can be installed vertically or horizontally. It is not a direct vent unit, which uses a sealed system to draw outside air for combustion and vent directly outdoors. The Empire RH25 operates at 77% efficiency. We cannot compare it directly to 'Rinnai propane monitors' as we do not carry that specific product name. The current price for the Empire RH25 Console Gas Room Heater - Propane is $1569.00. A blower is not an available option for this model. If you need a direct vent unit that vents through the wall, we can help you find a suitable alternative. Please provide your preferred BTU output for the 900 sq ft area and your shipping zip code, and we can discuss direct vent options, thermostats, remotes, and venting.

Unfortunately, natural vent gas heaters like this model do not allow for multiple offsets or elbows in the venting configuration as described. We apologize for any inconvenience.
