Empire Boulevard Direct Vent Contemporary Linear Gas Fireplace - Electronic Ignition - 60 Inch - DVLL60BP90

The vent is located in the center of the appliance, 7 1/8" from the rear of the appliance.

The viewing area on this fireplace is 60" wide and 15" high. 

Yes, a decorative liner is indeed required on this particular model.  This is because the fireplace has not been tested or listed for use without one of the two liner kits installed. 

No, the optional blower must be purchased separately, and, if ordered, it would not be pre-installed. 

This fireplace includes the box, burner and glass front.  The only required additions would be an interior liner (black reflective or bronze) media (such as crushed glass and/or a log set with stones), and the vent pipe.

This model has a viewing height of 15 inches.

This Boulevard model is a full fireplace that requires a custom-built framed enclosure.  It is not an insert that would be installed inside an existing fireplace, such as you describe.  We offer several insert options, but nothing nearly this large. Please see our full selection of direct vent gas fireplace inserts.

The vent pipe is a coaxial system, a pipe-within-a-pipe, with the inside pipe taking out the exhaust and the outside pipe bringing combustion air from outside.  There is no way to duct heat into another room, however.  There is a blower/fan option to increase the forced heated air effect from the unit through the room in which it is installed, as well as adjacent rooms. 

There are no manufacturer-approved guidelines to ensure that a television installed above any fireplace will not become damaged from excessive heat, however, it is generally recommended to either recess the television in the wall above the fireplace or, when this isn't possible, mount the television at the proper height above the fireplace opening following the mantel clearances that will be outlined in the installation manual for every manufactured fireplace. These clearance requirements will vary based on how far a mantel will project from the wall and would only ensure that a wooden mantel shelf would not be damaged when properly followed, so I recommend not only following these requirements, but also installing a non-combustible mantel like the Pearl Mantels Perfection Cast Stone Mantel Shelf Natural Stone Simulation to serve as an additional heat barrier.

Yes, there is actually only one log set available for this model, so that is the one you would need. You can see it and other options here: Empire Boulevard Direct Vent Series.

This will not arrive with a blower, but a dual blower system with variable speed control is offered as an accessory.
