Installation Notes

This fireplace is for outdoor use only and must never be installed in a building, garage or other enclosed area. Shelter it from direct wind, and add a weather door or bi-fold door to protect it from moisture. Gas piping must be installed by a qualified agency. 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. Book a free design consultation and we will help you plan the layout, utilities and installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need the log set?

Yes. Empire lists the OLX24WR 7-piece log set as required for OP36FP models.

What framing opening do I need?

41 in W x 36 in H x 19-1/4 in D, or 37 in H with the drain tray.

Millivolt or IP?

Millivolt uses a standing pilot and can add a battery remote or wall switch; IP lights only when called and ships with a remote.

Can it be installed in New York City?

No. Vent-free gas appliances are not permitted in the five boroughs; we sell this model for projects outside the city where local code allows it.

It covers the original purchaser only and requires installation by a qualified installer. The previous listing described a lifetime combustion chamber warranty, which the Empire manual does not state.
