Description
The Empire HMGW36 36" Gravity Heat Management Kit is designed to improve heat distribution and redirect excess fireplace heat to higher wall areas using natural convection airflow. By moving heat away from the area directly above the fireplace, this system helps reduce wall temperatures and provides greater installation flexibility for mantels and televisions when used according to manufacturer guidelines.
The kit includes a 36-inch plenum and a 10-foot flexible duct for efficient heat transfer routing. Operating without powered fans, the HMGW36 uses gravity-driven airflow for quiet performance without blower noise. Designed as part of Empire's advanced heat management system, it helps create a more balanced heat distribution throughout the living space. Compatible with select Empire Rushmore, Boulevard, and Loft direct vent fireplaces, including the Empire Rushmore DVCT36 Direct Vent Fireplace, this OEM accessory is engineered for dependable performance, proper fit, and long-term durability.
