VFP24FP provides room-level supplemental heat without a chimney or direct-vent exhaust pipe. Select the exact fuel and control configuration before ordering. The offered variants include standard-output and L10 reduced-input versions in natural gas or propane, with millivolt or intermittent-pilot controls. The L10 designation identifies a different heat-input configuration, not a cosmetic finish.
| Model family | VFP24FP |
|---|---|
| Input rating | Standard millivolt/IP: 14,000–20,000 BTU/h. L10 millivolt/IP: fixed 10,000 BTU/h. |
| Fuel selection | Factory natural gas or propane; use only the gas on the rating plate |
| Venting | Vent-free; combustion and ventilation air must be provided as required by the manual |
The face is 23 inches wide × 26-1/2 inches high, excluding nailing flanges and standoffs; maximum depth is 11 inches. The firebox opening is 19-1/2 inches wide × 17-1/2 inches high.
The current Vail brochure identifies matte-black louvers and frame as Premium family equipment. Retain the exact manufacturer log arrangement and only use media and accessories approved for the selected model.
The manual lists FBB6 automatic blower, VPP1A-22 aged-brick liner and VFF24HP-1 hammered-pewter trim. The listed remote and wall-control accessories apply to millivolt/intermittent-pilot versions; do not apply that list to a hydraulic control model.
These appliances use oxygen from the room and add water vapor during combustion. A qualified installer must assess available room volume, other fuel-burning appliances, unusually tight construction and any required ventilation-air openings. Absence of a flue does not remove combustion-air or local installation restrictions.
The selected VFD26 and VFPA manuals explicitly prohibit field conversion between fuel types. Order the correct factory fuel rather than planning an aftermarket gas change. Follow the exact model manual for clearances, mantel projections, log positioning and ember placement; do not use framing or clearance data from a different size.
Use the appliance as supplemental room heat, not as the home’s primary heating system. A bedroom-rated option must be the exact approved reduced-input model and must also be permitted by local requirements; family membership alone does not establish bedroom approval. Keep the manufacturer-provided hood, screens and protective equipment installed as instructed.
