January 30, 2018
My original contractor that built the house put the propane and electric hookup on the left side of the insert (see attached image one).
I have different contractor installing the framing for the insert now.
In your Manual it says the hookups are supposed to be on the right side.(Attached image 2 is from manual)
Is the contractor aloud to use a flex line to hook up the fireplace? (Or does he have to move the hard plumped line)
1 Answer
The literature is simply saying where the gas connection should be made on the insert and not where the actual gas line should be plumbed.

Reading your specs & trying to determine difference between Empire the VFP28IN33LP and the VFP28IN23LP? What difference am I missing?
1 Answer
The VFP28IN23LP has a built in modulating hydraulic thermostat valve with a rotary knob located on the firebox that allows you to adjust between non-specific temperature settings, between 1-5. The VFP28IN23LP may not be used with any remote or wall switch, whereas the VFP28IN33LP may be used with a wall switch, wall thermostat or any millivolt compatible On/Off or On/Off thermostatic remote.

from Plymouth, MA asked:
March 6, 2017
My fireplace opening is 48" long x 38" H, tapered 23" deep; will this be large enough?
1 Answer
The minimum opening requirements for installation of this insert are 30 3/4" W x 21 1/2" H x 14 1/4" D, so the issue will not be if it will fit, but finding a surround that will cover the remaining void left between the insert and fireplace opening. A shroud is offered to fill this remaining void, but it only covers openings up to 48" W x 37 7/8" H.

Would this fit a fireplace that is 36 inches wide?
1 Answer
So long as the other dimensions meet the 30 3/4" W x 21 1/2" H x 14 1/4" D minimum hearth requirements for installation of this insert, you should be able to install this product without issue.

I am interested in purchasing this unit for my home. I have a unit in place now that I am replacing, and would like to place it in the same mantle piece. My outside measurements are 34' w x 31" h . I want to know if this piece would fit in my current mantle.
1 Answer
We will need additional measurements to determine if this will work, but you can view the framing dimensions on page 10 of the installation manual to see if this model will work.

How many BTU's does this Empire medium Innsbrook vent-free gas fireplace insert with millivolt controls put out if it is running full blast all day?

This unit has an input of 28,000 BTU's per hour. It is not meant to be run all day due to it's use of combustion air from the room during operation. It should not be used for longer than 3-4 hours at a time.

Does the enclosed gas insert include glass door?
1 Answer
No. Since this is a vent-free unit, it will need to utilize room air for combustion. As such, there is no glass door on the unit nor is one available. The insert does come with a safety screen.

Very Good Heat Output, But Loud Motor
The unit was easy to install, but has a loud motor. The motor did not work when a licensed plumber installed the unit. After some troubleshooting, he discovered that one of the screws from the top base plate extended through to the motor impeller, preventing the motor from spinning. This was corrected and the motor started working, but it does have a humming noise.
ProsEasy to install, but the installation manual for the remote was not properly written and included confusing schematic.
ConsSome poor fitting parts and noisy motor.

Fantastic Stove
I can't say enough good about this unit. Installation went fast with no problems.
Get is on sale before units go back to regular price. My installer said most
chain stores are not handling propane stoves this year because the suppliers
cannot meet the customers demand. So ordering online is the way to go.
ProsEasy installation, few parts.
