General Information:
The Oxford Direct Vent, Model No. OXDV30SP, is a vented
gas appliance listed to the ANSI standard Z21.88-2014 and
CSA-2.33-2009 for Vented Room Heaters, and CSA 2.17-
M91, Gas-Fired Appliances For Use at High Altitudes.
The installation of the Oxford Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room
Heater must conform with local codes, or in the absence
of local codes, with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54 — latest edition and CSA B-149.1 Installation
Code. (EXCEPTION: Do not derate this appliance for
altitude. Maintain the manifold pressure at 3.5" w.c. for
Natural Gas and 10.0" w.c. for LP gas at maximum input.)
This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated
on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use
with other gases unless a certified kit is used.
Installation and replacement of gas piping, gas
utilization equipment or accessories, and repair and
servicing of equipment shall be performed only by a
qualified agency, preferably NFI or WETT (Canada)
certified. The term "qualified agency" means any
individual, firm, corporation, or company that either in
person or through a representative is engaged in and
is responsible for (a) installation or replacement of
gas piping, or (b), the connection, installation, repair,
or servicing of equipment, who is experienced in such
work, familiar with all precautions required, and has
complied with all the requirements of the authority
having jurisdiction.
The Oxford Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater
should be inspected before use and at least annually
by a qualified service agency. It is imperative that
control compartments, burners, and circulating air
passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
The Oxford Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater and its
individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping during any pressure testing of that system at
test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The Oxford Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to
or less than 1/2 psig.
'Direct Vent' describes a sealed combustion system in which
incoming outside air for combustion and outgoing exhaust
enter and exit through two separate concentric passages
within the same sealed vent system. The system does not
use room air to support combustion. The Direct Vent system
permits the gas appliance to be vented directly to the outside
atmosphere through the side of the house or vertically
through the roof. Conventional venting systems (Natural
Vent) take air from the room for combustion and vent the
exhaust vertically through the roof to the atmosphere.
This appliance is approved for bedroom installations in the
U.S. and Canada.
This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket*
manufactured (mobile) home, where not prohibited by state
or local codes.
