Questions about this product

What room size will each model handle?

323 Square Feet

Do they need electricity and will they run during an outage?

No power required. They use a standing pilot with a piezo ignitor and a mechanical control, so they keep heating with the lights out.

What clearances and mounting height do I need?

Sides 6 in. Above 24 in. From finished floor 7 in to the bottom of the heater. Rear clearance: MDV8 is 25/32 in, MDV12/MDV20 are 1-3/16 in. Use the included wall template. Keep the exterior vent cap at least 24 in from any outside intersecting wall.

What comes in the vent kit and what wall thicknesses are supported?

Vent kit includes: external air-intake tube with enamel hood, internal flue-gas tube, indoor and outdoor mounting plates, plus a wall thimble on MDV12 and MDV20, with threaded rod and adjusting nut. Approved wall thickness is 4-1/2 in to 12-5/8 in. Thicker walls aren’t supported by the manual.

Can I convert propane to natural gas, and what about high-elevation derate?

These units are not convertible. Order the model for your gas type. Above 2,000 ft, reduce input by 4 percent per 1,000 ft.

What You’ll Need for Installation

The MDV12VP includes the direct vent components required to vent the heater through an exterior wall. Propane supply equipment, gas piping, and connection fittings are not included.

Before installation, you will typically need:

• A propane tank or existing propane supply
• A properly sized low-pressure propane regulator supplying 11" to 13" W.C.
• Properly sized gas piping from the propane supply to the heater
• Manual gas shutoff valve
• Sediment trap / drip leg
• Required fittings for the heater’s 3/8" NPT gas inlet
• A suitable exterior wall location that meets the required installation clearances

Gas line size, regulator requirements, and fittings will vary depending on the distance from the propane tank, total connected propane load, and the existing propane system.

We recommend having the propane supply and final gas connection completed by a qualified gas fitter. Your installer can determine the correct regulator, gas line size, fittings, and shutoff components required for your installation.
