Empire Rushmore 40" Clean-Face Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

Empire Rushmore 40" Clean-Face Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

The Empire Rushmore 40" (model numbers DVCT40CBP95N for natural gas and DVCT40CBP95P for propane) is a clean-face, zero-clearance direct-vent gas fireplace with a TruFlame dual burner behind a ceramic glass front. It frames into a 49 1/2" wide opening.

It runs from a multi-function remote that sets the flame height of each burner, turns the rear burner off, dims the accent light and runs the optional blower, with battery backup for power outages. A log set and a liner are required and ordered separately; fronts, frames, a blower and heat management kits can be added.
