The Empire Innsbrook Large Clean Face is a direct-vent gas insert that turns an existing wood-burning fireplace into a gas-fired heat source. It is a zone heating appliance, so it heats the room you use most instead of the whole house. The Innsbrook comes in three sizes. This is the Large, model DVC28IN, rated at 28,500 BTUs.
It uses two 3-inch flexible co-linear vent pipes. One draws air from outside, and the other sends flue products outdoors. The flexible metal venting lets it install in a site-built or manufactured fireplace. The Slope Glaze Burner produces a natural flickering flame, with a variable flame height burner and hand-painted ceramic fiber logs. A mesh barrier screen covers the hot glass, and a blower is included.
Millivolt ignition with a standing pilot provides heat even without electric power. The electronic intermittent pilot version saves more energy and can run with a standing or intermittent pilot during power outages. A remote control does not come standard.
