Installation Notes
This is an outdoor vent-free appliance listed to ANSI Z21.97 for outdoor decorative gas appliances; it must never be installed indoors or in an enclosed space, and the manual limits how enclosed the outdoor space may be. Installation should be done by a qualified gas technician. For New York City addresses, outdoor gas fireplaces and their gas piping fall under the NYC Fuel Gas Code and Department of Buildings permitting, so the approval path for this vent-free unit must be confirmed before you buy. We review that, along with Long Island, Westchester and New Jersey sites, during a design consultation.
Documentation
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the VRE4636 be installed in New York City?
It is certified for outdoor use only, and any NYC installation of an outdoor gas fireplace must clear the NYC Fuel Gas Code and Department of Buildings process. Confirm the approval path with us and a licensed master plumber before ordering.
Can it go under a covered patio?
Only if the space meets the outdoor definition in the manual, such as an overhead cover with no more than two side walls, or three side walls with at least 30% of the perimeter permanently open.
Does it run on propane?
This listing is natural gas. The manual lists a propane rating of 30,000 BTU/h high for the 36 inch model with a different orifice.
What framing does it need?
Metal studs only, built to 40-1/2 inches wide and 16-1/4 inches deep for a single-sided unit. Wood studs are not permitted.
