Operation

40,000 BTU's. They require no outside venting or chimney making installation easy and inexpensive. When used without the optional blower (model VFZCB), the firebox requires no
electricity making it ideal for emergency backup heat.

Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. When using the optional Blower Kit, this firebox must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with
