Description
Product Overview: Compact Powerhouse
The Vail 26″ Deluxe is a zero-clearance, vent-free gas fireplace that offers an impressive 99.9% fuel efficiency. Because it is Natural Gas (NG) and Remote-Ready, it provides the perfect balance of traditional aesthetics and modern convenience without the need for a chimney or external venting.
Key Selling Points
Zero-Clearance Design: This unit can be installed flush against drywall or recessed into a mantel (like the EMBF series) or a custom wall. It stays cool on the outside while radiating heat from the front.
99.9% Heating Efficiency: Virtually no heat is lost up a chimney. For every dollar spent on Natural Gas, you get nearly 100 cents of heat directly into the room.
Emergency Readiness: As a non-electric unit (using a standing pilot), the Vail 26 will continue to provide life-saving heat even during a total power outage.
Millivolt “Remote-Ready” Valve: Comes standard with a millivolt valve. This allows you to add a simple wall switch, a basic On/Off remote, or even a programmable thermostat remote for automated climate control.

The “Deluxe” Difference
The Deluxe model is a step up from the base “Slope Glaze” burners. It features:
Enhanced Log Detail: The logs are specifically cast to allow the flames to lick through the stack, creating a more realistic wood-burning appearance.
Integrated Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS): Automatically shuts off the gas if oxygen levels in the room drop below a safe threshold.
Matte Black Interior: The dark firebox interior creates a high-contrast background that makes the yellow flames and glowing embers pop visually.
Why Choose the 26″ Vail?
Bedroom Approved: In many municipalities, 20,000 BTUs is the maximum allowed for bedroom installations, making this the go-to choice for master suites.
Small Footprint: At only 13 inches deep, it doesnt intrude into the rooms walking space, making it ideal for hallways, kitchens, or small apartments.
Pro Tip: This unit is the perfect “engine” to put inside a smaller mantel cabinet. It provides a finished, professional look that rivals a custom masonry installation for a fraction of the cost.
