American Hearth Van Buren Traditional B-Vent Gas Fireplace (BVD)
The Van Buren Series is American Hearth’s dedicated B‑Vent gas fireplace line, designed for traditional installations requiring vertical venting through Type‑B vent pipe. These units offer a classic open‑hearth appearance, louvered fronts, and optional accessories that align well with multi‑family housing, remodels, and budget‑sensitive projects. The Van Buren combines modern technology with traditional venting to give the look of a conventional fireplace with the convenience of gas.
Benefits include lower cost and simple design when construction allows a straight vertical vent.
