LO-RIDER LCUF VENT FREE FIREBOX
For a true masonry look, the Lo-Rider Series features a low profile hearth, so the firebox appears to nearly rest on the floor, providing the tallest fireplace opening and a truly expansive viewing area.
Its name says it all! The flush hearth design of our Lo-Rider vent free firebox mimics the look of a true wood-burning fireplace. Your favorite Monessen vent free log set, hide-away screen pockets and extra tall opening show off your fireplace in unparalleled style. And, like all of our fireboxes, the Lo-Rider’s design delivers maximum heat to your space, while the ventless zero clearance design gives you the flexibility to install just about anywhere.
The LCUF series of vent free fireboxes from Monessen offers flexibility with 3 sizes - 32, 36 and 42 inches - and the option of circulating or radiant design to suit your requirements perfectly.
Available with your choice of firebrick as well as a range of optional accessories, the LCUF series is easy to incorporate into your design requirements.
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.
