Description

Available Superior VRE3200 sizes: 36 inch (this size) | 42 inch

Framing Opening: 42-3/4 in. W x 46-1/2 in. H (dimensions A and B, Superior spec sheet 900990-01); fireplace 37 in. x 41-3/4 in. x 23-1/2 in. (spec sheet dimensions A, B and C)

The Superior VRE3236 is the 36 inch outdoor vent-free gas fireplace in the VRE3200 series, with a log set, volcanic stone and a choice of white stacked or white herringbone refractory liners. It is rated 30,000 to 45,000 BTU/h on natural gas and lights from a battery pack, so no 120 V circuit is needed at the fireplace.

It is built for covered patios, outdoor kitchens and qualifying screened porches or lanais, never for indoor rooms, and it gives a real masonry-style fire without a chimney.

What Is Included and What You Will Need

Installation Notes

Install only outdoors or in a screened porch or lanai that meets the size and screening rules in Superior manual 900990-00; it is not for indoor use. Plan water management with the drain pan on exposed sites, and keep the 50 in. ceiling clearance. The gas connection should be made by a licensed plumber; in New York City, gas piping requires a licensed master plumber and permit. Book a free design consultation and we will help you plan the layout, utilities and installation.
