Empire Industries FAW55SPPXLP Wall Furnace 55000 Btu/h Lp

Product Description

The EMPIRE INDUSTRIES FAW55SPPXLP is a vented counterflow wall furnace rated at 55,000 BTU/h, designed for propane (LP) gas applications. It operates on a 24-volt control circuit with a standing pilot ignition system and ships without a thermostat, giving installers the flexibility to pair it with a compatible wall thermostat of their choosing. The counterflow design delivers heated air downward from the unit, making it well suited for spaces where floor-level heat distribution is preferred. Licensed HVAC technicians and gas fitters are the primary installers for this type of direct-wall-mounted heating equipment.

This wall furnace is intended for residential and light commercial spaces where a self-contained, permanently mounted heating solution is required. Counterflow wall furnaces are commonly installed in additions, manufactured homes, cabins, garages, and other areas that are not served by a central forced-air system. The unit is configured for LP gas and must be connected to a propane supply. A separate thermostat is required for automatic temperature control and must be sourced independently.

Key Features

• 55,000 BTU/h heating capacity for LP gas operation
• 24-volt control circuit compatible with standard low-voltage thermostats
• Standing pilot ignition — no external electrical igniter required
• Counterflow air delivery directs heated air downward toward floor level
• Vented design routes combustion gases to the exterior for safe indoor use
• Sold without thermostat, allowing installer to select appropriate control

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style vented counterflow wall furnace for LP gas heating applications in residential and light commercial installations where a standing pilot, 24-volt controlled unit is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified gas fitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) and all applicable local codes. Shut off the LP gas supply and verify zero pressure at the appliance connection before beginning any work. The venting system must be properly sized and terminated to the exterior per the manufacturer instructions and local code requirements. A compatible 24-volt thermostat must be installed separately to enable automatic temperature control.
