About This Product

The Innsbrook Clean Face Direct Vent Gas Insert from Empire

The Innsbrook Clean Face is available in (3) Sizes:

A Direct-Vent Fireplace Insert turns your existing wood-burning fireplace into an efficient gas-fired heat source.

A wood-burning fireplace sends more than half of its heat up the flue, creating negative pressure in your home, which draws in outside air through gaps in doors and windows that actually makes your home colder. A wood-fire can also create ash and fumes that dirty your home and aggravate your allergies.

Direct-Vent Fireplace Inserts are classified as zone heating appliances. Zone heating is inherently more efficient than your existing wood-burning fireplace or your central furnace. Unlike a central furnace, which wastes 20 to 30 percent of the heat energy through ductwork losses and sends much of the remaining heat to unoccupied rooms, zone heating creates and transmits the heat directly into the room. This lets you turn down your whole-house thermostat and use your fireplace insert to efficiently warm the room you use most.

Direct-Vent Insert uses readily available 3-inch flexible co-linear vent pipes. One draws air from outside your home, and the other sends flue products directly outdoors. The flexible metal venting allows the insert to install easily in a site-built or manufactured fireplace.

Fireplace barrier screens, required for all direct-vent systems, protect you and your family from inadvertently touching the hot glass.

Traditional Innsbrook Direct-Vent Inserts in three sizes – small, medium, and large – to fit most wood-burning fireplaces. Choose Millivolt ignition with standing pilot to provide heat, even in the absence of electric power, or Intermittent Pilot, which saves even more energy. IP systems can operate with a standing or intermittent pilot during power outages.

Innsbrook Direct-Vent Inserts feature optional liners and hand-painted ceramic fiber logs, nestled atop the variable flame height burner, to create an exceptionally attractive traditional fireplace. With inputs of 20,500 BTUs, 26,000 BTUs, and 28,500 BTUs, the Direct-Vent insert’s unique Slope Glaze Burner produces natural flickering flames that dance and delight – warming your heart as it warms your soles.

Control Options

Lighting and managing a wood fire takes time and work – and more than a little patience to get it right. Your Innsbrook or Loft fireplace insert lights at the flick of a switch to produce consistent, reliable heat, even when electric power fails. Add the convenience of an optional thermostat, wireless wall thermostat, remote control, or thermostat remote control, and enjoy all the comfort of a warm cozy fire without the mess and hassle.

A remote control does not come standard with the Empire Innsbrook. Choose from the following control options: 

Millivolt Ignition (Standing Pilot)

  • FRBTC2 - Thermostat Remote Control (Battery Driven)
  • FRBTPS - Programmable Thermostat Touchscreen Remote Control (Battery Driven)

Options & Accessories

Your new direct-vent insert will require a surround or decorative front.

Innsbrook traditional models, choose an old-world style three-piece cast iron surround with rich details, or one of our steel surrounds with 9-inch top and 6-inch sides, 6-inch top and sides, or 6-inch top and 3-inch sides. For installations where your Innsbrook insert does not rest on the hearth, we offer a bottom cover to complete the surround.

Decorative Fronts for traditional inserts are available in three styles in black or bronze finishes. Each front attaches in minutes to the 1-piece metal frame (available in Matte Black or Bronze). Included barrier screens protect you and your family from inadvertently touching the hot glass – but without detracting from the overall view of the fireplace.

To cover larger hearth openings, install the optional shroud. At 48 inches wide and just under 38 inches tall, it provides a clean transition between the surround and the existing fireplace. The bottom cover completes the shroud.

Warranty

In the unlikely event your product experiences a defect, our technical team will guide you through the manufacturer’s warranty process. Here is a general outline of what to expect:

Due to the technical nature of our products, troubleshooting is required by the manufacturer to process a warranty claim. Your installer will need to troubleshoot and diagnose the problem on-site while working in tandem with our technical team. If troubleshooting leads to what Woodland Direct deems as a defective part, we will submit a warranty claim to the manufacturer on your behalf. Before we submit the claim, we will ask you to review the terms to proceed.

Once the claim is submitted, the manufacturer will review and approve or deny the claim. If they have all the information and accept the claim, your warranty replacement part(s) will begin processing for shipment. If for any reason, the claim is denied, or we need more information, we will notify you as soon as possible.

All warranties are processed as exchanges. You can expect to receive a pre-paid return label for the defective part(s), which will need to be returned within 30 days of receiving the warranty replacement(s).

Warranty claims can take anywhere from 1-4 weeks to process, depending on the season. Due to the length of time claims can extend, we recommend that you fire up your unit in the late summer/early fall to ensure it’s in good working condition for the winter season.

Don’t expect less from your dealer just because you are shopping online...

Over the years, we've received countless calls in our fireplace showroom from underserved or dissatisfied online shoppers.

Unfortunately, there are way too many online fireplace stores that are more concerned with getting a quick sale than actually serving their customers.

We've heard it all, including:

  • Inaccurate product information on the website
  • Poor service after purchase
  • No assistance with warranty claims
  • Delayed or lost shipment without communication
  • I didn't know I needed additional parts to operate

We started The Torch Guys to offer a better way to shop for fireplaces & fire-related products online. Where education, transparency and service are at the heart of everything we do.

The products we sell are highly technical. And every situation is unique, including yours.

We take pride in helping our customers find the right product(s) for their specific needs and desires.

FAST Free Shipping

Most stores offer free shipping. But it's often free shipping that's slow.

That's because most stores only have access to one or two distribution centers. And YOUR order is at the mercy of that distribution center.

If they are running behind or low on inventory - you are out of luck. If they are located on the other side of the country from you - it's going to take a while to get to you.

When you order from The Torch Guys - you gain access to our network of over 20 distribution centers strategically located across the country. Meaning YOUR order will ship from the location that guarantees the fastest delivery.
