Superior VRT3536 36" Vent-Free Gas Firebox
SuperiorVRT3536 Overview
The Superior VRT3536 is the 36-inch Pro Circulating Series vent-free firebox in the VRT3500 lineup. The clean-face design features a tall 28-inch opening with white stacked or white herringbone refractory panels and floor. Unlike the VRT2500/3100 series, this firebox does NOT require a canopy hood for most installations, giving it a cleaner exterior. A junction box is included. Mesh fire screens included.
This firebox is sold without a log set, burner, or gas valve; pair the VRT3536 with any ANSI Z21.11.2-listed vent-free log set. The firebox accepts both 18-inch and 24-inch vent-free log sets. Optional accessories include FBK-100/200 blower kits, OAK-UVFRC outside air kit, and FWSK wall switch. The ASD3628-TI arched textured iron screen door is also available, but installing the door requires the FC36 firebox canopy ($68); both must be purchased together. Listed to ANSI Z21.91 with OMNI Listing 116-F-38-5.
This is a firebox only. A vent-free gas log set, burner, and gas valve must be ordered separately to complete the installation. The firebox accepts any ANSI Z21.11.2-listed vent-free log set of the appropriate size. Choose a Superior vent-free log set for guaranteed compatibility, or contact Fireplace Insider for log set selection assistance.
