Product overview
Empire VFP36PB2 Breckenridge Premium is a 36-inch peninsula vent-free firebox enclosure. It does not include a complete gas heater; the burner and logs are selected separately.
Key features
Choose the documented flush-face or louvered model. The multi-sided enclosure supports an open view between adjoining spaces.
Included components
Curtain-style screens, banded-brick liner, refractory sills and standard hood. Retain the supplied hood or use the exact approved replacement.
Required components
Select a listed vent-free burner/log appliance that fits the firebox and does not exceed 40,000 BTU/h input. The heater determines fuel, ignition and actual heat input. This limit is not an output rating for the empty firebox. Do not burn wood.
Optional accessories
FBB5 blower and decorative trim are optional. Follow the exact heater and enclosure instructions for any chosen burner/log package.

Installation and safety notes
Framing: 41-1/2 inches high × 39 inches wide × 23 inches deep. The depth assumes 1/2-inch wallboard flush to both front faces; peninsula width also assumes 1/2-inch wallboard flush to the end face. Add the platform height when elevating the firebox; follow the complete framing diagram.
Use the supplied hood or the exact approved replacement hood. Clearances include 36 inches in front of the firebox, 1-3/4 inches from the inside of the firebox to a perpendicular combustible side wall, and 42 inches from hood top to ceiling. Mantel projection changes the required clearance; use the standard-hood or optional-hood chart that matches the installation. Maintain at least 1-1/2 inches between grate front legs and the front firebox edges.
Apply the enclosure manual and the selected heater manual together, including combustion-air, room suitability and applicable-code requirements.
