OVERVIEW
A Direct-Vent system uses two vent pipes. One draws air in from outdoors to support combustion. The other exhausts the by-products of combustion to the outside. The two vent pipes may be concentric (exhaust pipe within a larger diameter intake pipe) or co-linear (separate pipes of about the same size).
Combustion takes place inside a sealed chamber – with a glass front in the case of a fireplace. Room air circulates around the combustion chamber, often assisted by a blower, to heat the room.
A DV system is often installed along an outside wall to simplify the vent run, but can also be installed elsewhere in the home and vented through the roof.
Advantages:
- Good efficiency – 60 to 80%
- Good heat output with thermal transfer through the glass and air circulation
- Separates room air from the combustion air
- May be used as the primary heat source
- Can operate with a remote or thermostat
- Most systems can provide live-saving heat during a winter power outage
Tahoe Direct-Vent Fireplaces
Tahoe Clean-Face Deluxe models feature our Contour tube-style burner, designed to complement the hand-painted ceramic fiber log set, and produce a natural dancing flame.
The Clean-Face Deluxe Fireplace comes with a discreet air distribution channel that eliminates the look of louvers, yet still allows you to operate the optional blower. It features a large tempered glass window that provides an unobstructed view to the log set. Choose an optional liner to customize your fireplace.
Tahoe Clean-Face Deluxe models require 17-3/4, and use 4 x 6-5/8 venting, making them ideal for applications where wall-cavity space is tight.
Designed for in-wall installation, your Tahoe Direct-Vent fireplace can be finished with tile or other non-combustible material, which conceals the outer edge of the fireplace to provide a true built-in appearance.
Tahoe Deluxe
Tahoe Deluxe models feature our Contour tube-style burner, designed to complement the hand-painted ceramic fiber log set, and produce a natural dancing flame.
The Deluxe Tahoe model has louvers and an available trim kit. The large heat-resistant, tempered glass window provides an unobstructed view to the log set. Tahoe Deluxe offer several styles of liners – Aged Brick, Herringbone, Stacked Limestone, and Black Reflective.
Tahoe Deluxe models require just 16 inches of depth making them ideal for applications where wall-cavity space is tight.
Controls Description:
Millivolt: Millivolt models feature a standing pilot that you light at the beginning of each heating season using the pushbutton Piezo igniter. Millivolt systems require no electric or battery backup. The systems work with any of our optional remote control accessories – from simple wall switches to thermostats to hand-held programmable remotes.
IP: Intermittent Pilot models eliminate the standing pilot for even greater energy savings. IP requires 120V AC to operate on a daily basis but can run on battery backup to provide heat during a power outage. IP technology works with any of our remotes.
