Product overview
The Empire DVCP42BP is a traditional clean-face direct-vent gas fireplace. Select the exact natural-gas or propane model and millivolt or intermittent-pilot ignition configuration. The installation manual covers DVCP42BP30K and DVCP42BP70K revisions; verify the complete rating-plate model for service and conversion parts. Fuel conversion requires the certified kit for that exact model and control system.
Included components
A protective glass barrier is supplied and must remain installed during operation.
Required components
The correct ceramic-fiber log assembly is required to complete the interior. Do not operate without it; a rock selection is not a substitute. Install the logs and approved additional media according to the accessory instructions.
A complete approved direct-vent system and the correctly configured gas supply are required. Venting brings combustion air from outdoors and expels exhaust outdoors; this is not a vent-free appliance and must not burn solid fuel.
Optional accessories
The manual lists DVP42FAB aged-brick, DVP42FCB cottage-brick and DVP42FRB rustic-brick ceramic-fiber liners, plus DVP42NKR black-reflective liner. FBB10 automatic variable-speed blower and LK6 120-volt lighting are optional. Remotes and thermostats must match the chosen ignition system; RVKN-1 and RVKP-1 are listed for natural-gas and propane intermittent-pilot configurations respectively.

Installation and safety notes
Choose the vent route and termination before framing. The manual lists DVVK-4TSP for 4-1/2 to 6-inch walls, DVVK-4TP for 8 to 12-inch walls, DVVK-4VP for vertical venting and DVVK-4F horizontal flex. Flex kits require the specified SD46DVA-FCFX7 adapter. These are installation alternatives, not a requirement to purchase every kit.
Horizontal vent requires at least 3 inches of clearance above and 2 inches at the sides and bottom. Follow the full vent-length and elbow tables for the selected route. Allow at least 24 inches from the framing edge to the chase top. Finish the black appliance face only with the specified noncombustible materials, and do not obstruct air openings. Framing dimensions do not replace the manual’s mantel, wall-finishing and combustible-clearance diagrams.
