Superior VRL3055 55" Linear Vent-Free Gas Fireplace

VRL3055 Overview

The Superior VRL3055 is the 55-inch Pro Series vent-free linear gas fireplace in the VRL3000 lineup, offering a sleek modern low-profile design ideal for contemporary and transitional spaces. The fireplace ships as a complete system: standard equipment includes electronic IPI/CPI ignition with seamless battery backup (continued operation during power outages), platinum crushed glass media, adjustable floor lighting with six distinctive settings, black painted interior, multi-function touchscreen remote, and a black bezel with standard protective screen barrier.

This is a vent-free system - no chimney required. VRL3055 delivers up to 28,000-22,000 BTU on natural gas or 27,000-21,000 BTU on liquid propane (modulating high/low) at an exceptional 99.9% AFUE efficiency. Choose between Natural Gas or Liquid Propane factory configuration at order time (priced identically). Optional accessories include the HTFLO-VF55 HeatFlo Convection Air Circulation Kit ($730, redirects heat upward through hidden ductwork to protect heat-sensitive TVs and artwork above the fireplace) OR the FBK-100 Standard Single-Speed Blower ($374) - these two are mutually exclusive. Additional optional accessories: decorative surrounds (matte black $449 or stainless $674), PLK-BLK-RNCL55 porcelain liner kit ($449), additional crushed glass media in three colors, the DWLS-VFL55 driftwood log set ($503), and the RIVROCK-25PK river rock kit ($224). Listed to ANSI Z21.11.2, PFS Corp F21-664.

Complete system - ready to install. Unlike vent-free fireboxes (which ship empty), this is a complete system that ships with platinum crushed glass media, the burner, gas valve, electronic IPI/CPI ignition with battery backup, adjustable LED floor lighting, multi-function remote, and protective screen barrier. No log set or burner kit is required separately. Connect to a gas line and installation is complete.

Vent-free jurisdictional restrictions apply. Vent-free gas fireplaces are PROHIBITED in California and restricted in Massachusetts and certain municipalities. Verify local code compliance before purchase. Vent-free appliances burn with extremely high efficiency (99.9% AFUE) but release combustion products into the room. Maximum BTU input may be limited by room size per local code (typically 10 BTU per cubic foot). The included oxygen-depletion sensor (ODS) provides a primary safety control.
