Description

Available Superior VRE4500 sizes: 36 inch (this size) | 42 inch | 50 inch

Overall Dimensions: 45-1/4" W x 30-1/2" D x 54-3/4" H

The Superior VRE4536 is a 36 inch outdoor universal vent-free firebox with a 36" wide by 30" tall opening. It is the insulated shell for an outdoor fireplace and is used with a certified vent-free gas log set of up to 40,000 BTU/h, sold separately. It suits a covered patio or outdoor room where a manufactured firebox is wanted instead of a site-built masonry one, with a white stacked or white herringbone refractory panel.

Vent-free gas appliances cannot be installed in New York City under the NYC Fuel Gas Code. We sell this model for installations outside the five boroughs where local code allows it.

Installation Notes

The firebox is for outdoor use only and must be installed in a framed enclosure to the dimensions above with 1-1/2 inch clearance at the sides and back. Where it sits on carpeting, vinyl tile or other combustible material other than wood flooring, it must be on a metal or wood panel the width and depth of the enclosure. Do not build a wood fire in it. The supplied hood must be used at all times with a vent-free log heater. A licensed gas installer should connect the log set, and local code applies. Book a design consultation to review your outdoor space.
