Optional Remote Capability
Compatible remote-ready accessories may be used where identified by Superior.
Optional controls are not included. Verify the exact compatible remote or wall-control accessory before ordering.
Vent-Free Operation & Combustion Air
When operated vent-free, the VD1824PR uses air from the room for combustion.
The installation space must provide sufficient combustion and ventilation air according to Superior's procedures and applicable codes.
Vent-free does not mean ventilation-free. Do not install or operate the burner in a space that does not satisfy the required combustion-air provisions.
Vent-Free & Vented Operation
Vent-Free Operation
The VD1824PR is designed for vent-free use when all fireplace, clearance, combustion-air, gas-supply, and installation requirements are satisfied.
Vented Decorative Operation
Superior's instructions also provide for operation as a vented decorative appliance when applicable venting and permanent fireplace-damper-opening provisions are followed.
Installation requirements can differ by operating configuration. Do not assume that every vent-free clearance or requirement remains unchanged for vented decorative operation.
Installation & Clearance Requirements
The VD1824PR is designed for installation in an appropriate solid-fuel-burning masonry fireplace or qualifying factory-built fireplace when all manufacturer requirements are met.
Firebox Fit
Confirm the minimum 17" H × 13.5" D × 28" front W × 20.5" rear W firebox.
Side-Wall Clearance
Maintain all manufacturer-required clearance from combustible side-wall materials.
Mantel Clearance
Depends on mantel depth, position, and whether a hood is required.
Floor Clearance
Verify flooring and fireplace-elevation requirements before installation.
Combustion Air
Provide adequate combustion and ventilation air for vent-free operation.
Qualified Installation
Installation and service should be performed by a qualified service person.
Do not use one generic mantel or clearance dimension. Review the complete manufacturer clearance diagrams for the exact installation.

Flame Authority Expert Recommendation
Choose the Superior VD1824PR when your fireplace project requires a 24-inch propane/LP Double-Flame burner with a standing-pilot millivolt control system and separately selected decorative gas logs.
Its 25,000–36,000 BTU/hr input range, dual-yellow-flame design, piezo ignition, millivolt control, propane-specific pressure requirements, and optional remote capability make it a practical burner platform for qualifying vent-free or vented decorative installations.
The most important buying step is confirming the propane fuel supply, required external regulator, 24" configuration, minimum fireplace opening, compatible log set, combustible clearances, combustion-air availability, and installation location before ordering.
