Can this unit be mounted against a wood wall. Is there a clearance requirement? If fire code sheet rock is installed behind the unit, would it mount to that type wall? My use for this unit would be to stand alone against a wall on a sun porch. The porch is 10' X 15'. I'm looking for ways to use the unheated enclosed sun porch during the winter months.
1 Answer
The fireplace can be installed with 0" of clearance to combustible materials.

I am interested in this Empire fireplace and framing it with a custom mantel. Are there certain requirements for how high the mantel needs to be above the fireplace unit or do I need a hood to direct the heat away from the mantel in order to prevent heat damage to the mantel? I remember with choosing a fireplace for a previous home that there needed to be a hood for this reason.
1 Answer
Empire does indeed list mantel clearance requirements based upon how far the mantel will project from the fireplace facing. Please view figure 5 at the top of page 9 of the owner's manual seen here. The fireplace will include a hood which is required to be installed so that the clearances to the mantel are maintained.

How much natural gas, or propane, does this Empire Vail vent-free natural gas fireplace burner use?
1 Answer
Depending on usage, this model will burn between .07-.2 therms/hr. of natural gas and .076-.218 gal/hr. of liquid propane when installed with the 20,000 burner orifice. If using the 10,000 Btu orifice, this decreases to .1 therms/hr for natural gas and .109 gal/hr. for liquid propane.

I have a beautiful electric fireplace with woodwork that I absolutely love. Is it possible to change out the inserts and make it propane? This Empire Vail vent-free natural gas fireplace would fit as per the dimensions but would it be safe to install?
1 Answer
Yes, certainly. The above vent-free gas fireplace can be installed in a mantel with no concerns. As long as the dimensions of the mantel match the clearance requirements listed in the installation manual.

Will this fireplace still work if the power is out?
1 Answer
Because this unit is a standing pilot, millivolt unit, the fireplace will indeed operate when there is a power outage. Unless an accessory blower is installed, the unit requires no power for operation.

Overall good experience
I was surprised how difficult it was to find a fireplace the size I needed to fit in an old coal fireplace (shallow depth); this store was far more detailed than other websites I visited and I soon was able to find a fireplace with the BTU's I wanted that would fit in my space. I compared that product with other vendors and found this store to be also cheaper than other places. I placed the order and was further impressed with the speed of shipping, and the customer service I received. Item was well packaged, complete, and good quality. I would highly recommend this fireplace, and this seller.
ProsShallow depth to fit in tight spaces. Great looking flame, realistic looking logs
ConsNone I have found yet.
