A built-in gas fireplace is sized by the manufacturer’s framing (rough opening) spec — the exact framing drawing for this model is in the manufacturer’s installation manual — see the Manufacturer Documents tab.
- New installs (direct-vent & vent-free) — confirm your wall or chase has the width, height, and depth the framing spec calls for, and plan the vent route for direct-vent models (through an exterior wall or the roof). Vent-free models need no vent at all.
- Inserts — measure your existing firebox in four places: front width, rear width, height, and depth, plus your chimney height. Compare against the insert’s minimum opening in Specifications.
- See-through & corner models — check the required wall depth between finished faces on both sides.

Frequently Asked
Does this fireplace need a chimney?
The Rainier is an insert for an existing fireplace. Have a qualified installer check your fireplace and venting route against the instructions for the exact Rainier model. Do not assume the venting arrangement of a built-in fireplace applies to this insert.
Can I install this myself?
Have a qualified fireplace installer handle the gas connection and follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions. They can also plan the venting, framing, electrical work and permits for your project.
Will this fit my existing fireplace?
Measure the existing firebox’s front width, rear width, height and depth. Compare those measurements with the insert’s minimum opening and confirm that your fireplace and chimney are approved for that insert. The surround dimensions describe the finished look, not the opening the insert needs.
Can I mount a TV above this fireplace?
A fireplace and TV can share a wall when the layout meets both products’ requirements. Use the fireplace’s heat-management and mantel-clearance instructions together with the TV’s temperature limits to plan the position.
Can this be my main source of heat?
A gas fireplace can add warmth where you spend time together. To choose the right output, have your installer consider the room, insulation and climate alongside the model’s heating rating. Some fireplaces are designed for decorative use rather than primary heat.
What else do I need to buy to make this work?
Empire requires a log set, liner and surround for the Rainier Premium. The manufacturer lists a remote, blower and accent lighting as included equipment. Our team must confirm the fuel-specific model, your supplied package and installation-specific venting before you order.
