Empire Industries DV20ENAT Direct Vent Wall Furnace 20000 Btu/h

Product Description

The EMPIRE INDUSTRIES DV20ENAT is a high-efficiency direct vent wall furnace rated at 20,000 BTU/h and designed for natural gas operation. It features electronic ignition and a thermistor-based control system, eliminating the need for a standing pilot and improving overall fuel efficiency. The sealed direct vent combustion system draws outside air for combustion and exhausts flue gases through a coaxial pipe, making it well suited for tight or confined installation spaces. Licensed HVAC technicians and gas-fitting professionals are the primary installers of this unit.

The DV20ENAT is designed for residential wall-mount heating applications where a self-contained, high-efficiency gas appliance is needed without a traditional ducted system. Direct vent wall furnaces of this type are commonly installed in homes, cabins, supplemental heating zones, and spaces where running ductwork is impractical. The thermistor control provides accurate temperature sensing, and the electronic ignition system supports reliable startup without manual lighting.

Key Features

• 20,000 BTU/h natural gas heat output for targeted zone heating
• High-efficiency direct vent design uses sealed combustion with coaxial intake and exhaust
• Electronic ignition eliminates standing pilot for improved efficiency and reliability
• Thermistor-based temperature control for accurate and responsive heat management
• Wall-mount configuration suitable for spaces where ducted heating is not practical

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM direct vent wall furnace for residential natural gas heating applications. No specific compatible model or replacement part numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified gas fitter in accordance with local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off the gas supply at the service valve and disconnect power before beginning any work. The direct vent termination must be positioned and sealed according to the manufacturer instructions and local building codes to prevent flue gas recirculation. Do not operate on LP gas without a certified conversion kit appropriate for this unit.
