Reznor UDX 100,000 BTU Propane Unit - NUDX100,N1036538R
Reznor model UDX gas-fired unit heaters are great for space heating applications. These units are power vented to eliminate heat losses up the flue pipe. Each heater features a two-tone black and white powder coated, scratch-resistant paint scheme and has clean rounded corners and edges with no visible screws or fasteners. For air circulation, the UDX series utilize an axial propellor fan.

Maintenance Tips
-
Annual heat exchanger inspection: Check the TCORE2® titanium‑stabilized aluminized steel exchanger for soot, corrosion, cracks or buildup — clean lightly to maintain ~83 % AFUE and safe operation.
-
Burner & flame check: Clean burner tubes and inspect flame quality (mostly blue, steady) to ensure efficient propane combustion.
-
Clear venting & intake paths: Ensure power‑vent flue and combustion air openings are free of debris to maintain proper draft and avoid backdrafting.
-
Fan & motor care: Remove dust from the axial propeller fan and check for balance, noise or looseness that can reduce airflow.
-
Electrical & ignition checks: Tighten wiring, inspect direct spark ignition and clean flame sensor/LED diagnostics for reliable starts.
-
Gas supply inspection: Check propane line fittings for leaks and proper regulator operation before each season.
-
Keep exterior clean: Dust and debris on the cabinet and louvers restrict airflow and heat transfer.
-
Professional annual service: Have an HVAC technician perform combustion tests and safety control checks to maximize efficiency and lifespan.
