Superior VRL6048 48" Linear Vent-Free Gas Fireplace

VRL6048 Overview

The Superior VRL6048 is the 48-inch Signature Series vent-free linear gas fireplace in the VRL6000 lineup, the flagship of Superior's vent-free linear family. Sleek modern appearance perfect for both contemporary and transitional spaces. The Signature tier offers premium upgrades over the Pro VRL3000: a variable-speed blower is INCLUDED standard (vs. optional on VRL3000), a black porcelain liner is INCLUDED standard (vs. black painted interior on VRL3000), and a full-function handheld remote is included. Standard equipment also includes electronic IPI/CPI ignition with seamless battery backup, platinum crushed glass media, and adjustable floor lighting.

This is a vent-free system - no chimney required. VRL6048 delivers up to 35,000-28,000 BTU on natural gas or 34,000-27,000 BTU on liquid propane (modulating high/low) at 99.9% AFUE efficiency. Choose between Natural Gas or Liquid Propane factory configuration at order time (priced identically). Optional accessories include two see-through conversion kits (STK-VFLIN48 Indoor See-Through $1,235 or OSTK-LIN48 Indoor/Outdoor See-Through $3,149 - the OSTK kit converts the unit to a true indoor/outdoor pass-through fireplace through an exterior wall), the HTFLO-VF55 HeatFlo Convection Kit ($730), the TRMK-BLK-LIN48 Linear Trim Kit ($517), the CGLK-BLK-LIN48 Black Reflective Glass Liner Kit ($786, upgrades from standard porcelain to mirrored glass interior), additional crushed glass media in 3 colors, river rock kit, and the DRFTWD-ROCK-KIT driftwood-and-rock combination kit ($371). Listed to ANSI Z21.11.2, PFS Corp F22-809.

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.
