This Elite Radiant Vented Burner will deliver more heat and livelier flames to your fireplace. It offers unique construction and an integrated radiant fiber heat sink. This helps the burner to produce beautiful flames without sand or vermiculite. A vented burner is only available in a manual model and a millivolt model. This Elite Radiant Vented burner includes a millivolt valve with on/off switch and is UL Certified. Optional on/off accessories include a remote (FRBC), wall switch (FWS1) or a switch in a refractory log chunk (SWL).
The main advantage of a vented burner is the more realistic yellow flame created by the open flue. Unfortunately, to get the more realistic fire-look, the heat goes up the chimney as well. But with the Elite Radiant Vented Burner, more heat is radiated back into your room.

- Front Width: 36"

A licensed gas technician is required for installation of this product. Please check your local regulations as some areas may require inspection after installation of gas products. It is highly recommended that you use your own gas technician or gas provider for any repairs.
This burner is intended to be installed in an approved, existing, fully vented wood-burning fireplace equipped with a gas hook-up. It is certified for use in an existing fireplace with an open damper flue equipped with a damper clamp (included with burner) to keep the damper from accidentally closing during use. Vented systems do not burn the gas used cleanly and therefore need to be exhausted through an open chimney - similar to burning wood. A vented burner is not convertible to vent-free operation.
A vented burner is only rated as a decorative system and is not for use as a heat source and cannot be operated by a thermostat.
