Description
Monessen 42" Exacta Vent Free Circulating Clean Face Firebox with Interior Panels

EXACTA VENT FREE FIREBOX
Enjoy the fireplace you’ve always wanted, expansive views and all. Combined with a Monessen vent-free log set, the Exacta firebox provides warmth and ambiance to practically anyone, anywhere. The Exacta delivers maximum airflow, efficiently adding heat to your home, while the zero clearance design gives you flexibility, and helps save installation dollars.
A Monessen vent-free firebox is the perfect way to display and operate your Monessen vent-free log set. While our log sets can be utilized in an existing approved wood-burning fireplace (converted with a gas line), if your home does not already have an existing fireplace, a vent-free firebox is an economical way to add a fireplace to your home. Installed in either your wall or a free-standing cabinet, a vent-free firebox is simply the metal combustion chamber of a traditional fireplace system, without the log set and engine. You then add the vent-free log set (with engine) of your choice to complete it.
Monessen offers one of the most diverse lineups of vent-free gas fireboxes available, making it easy to find the right look for your home. Enjoy beautiful flames, excellent heating and a customized look with the addition of your choice of Monessen log sets.
Because vent-free fireboxes and log sets 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 or cost-prohibitive to install a vented fireplace. They provide the most economical installation, only requiring a connection to a gas line.
Monessen vent-free fireboxes 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.
Monessen offers a large selection of vent-free log sets (sold separately) that are a perfect complement to your new fireplace. This firebox can accommodate any Monessen 24" and 30" Vent Free Gas Log Set.
Exacta vent-free circulating firebox are available in 32", 36" and 42" sizes with Painted(no brick) /Stacked Traditional/ Herringbone interior panels.
