Gas Vent Free Fireboxes
Versatile Options for your home
Enjoy the Fireplace You’ve Always Wanted
Magnum MCUF Series
Monessen offers one of the most diverse lineups
of gas vent free fireplaces available, making it
easy to find the right look for your home.
Enjoy beautiful flames, excellent heating and a
customized look, plus these added benefits:
Save Energy And Maximize Heat
Vent free gas fireplaces (available in natural gas and
propane) are a safe, green and energy efficient way to
add heat to your home — in fact, they’re 99.9% energy
efficient. Because they are vent free, none of the heat
gets lost up a vent, flue or chimney. Instead, fuel dollars
get transformed into heat-warming energy. Plus, you can
always be assured of a heat source, even in the event of
a power outage.
Install It Where You Want It
Because vent free fireplaces are designed to be installed
and operated without a chimney, flue or vent, they can
be installed in locations in your home where it would be
impossible to install a vented fireplace. They provide the
most economical installation, only requiring a connection
to a gas line.
Create Your Own Look
With multiple facing and firebrick options available,
you can tailor the look of the fireplace to suit your tastes
and décor.
You’re In The Clear
Monessen vent free fireplaces allow for zero clearance
installation, which means they may be installed flush
against any combustible surface such as drywall or wood.
This gives you added flexibility and helps save installation
dollars when deciding where to install your fireplace,
whether on an interior or exterior wall.
(It is important to remember that the appliance should be sized to fit the area in which
it is to be installed and must meet any additional regional or local requirements.)
complete your look
Monessen offers a selection of vent free log sets
(sold separately) that are a perfect complement to
your new fireplace. Ask your dealer for details.
