Product Features

Safety Device

This heater has a pilot with an Oxygen Depletion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff system. The ODS/pilot is a required feature for vent-free room heaters. The ODS/pilot shuts off the heater if there is not enough fresh air.

Ignition System

Some models are equipped with a piezo ignitor that requires no matches, batteries or other sources to light heater.

Other heaters are equipped with an electronic ignitor to light heater fuel supply.

Thermostatic Heat Control

(Thermostat Models Only)

Thermostat models have a thermostat sensing bulb and a control valve. This results in the greatest heater comfort. This can also result in lower gas bills.
