Reznor UDX 125,000 BTU Propane Unit Heater - NUDX125,N1036538R

Reznor UDX 125,000 BTU Propane Unit Heater - NUDX125,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.

What our Experts Think

• Powerful mid‑range propane heating
  With 125,000 BTU and ~83 % AFUE, this propane UDX heater delivers robust, cost‑effective heat for large garages, workshops, and light‑commercial spaces where smaller units struggle.
• Built for long‑term reliability
  The TCORE2 titanium‑stabilized aluminized steel heat exchanger enhances durability and corrosion resistance, boosting service life even in demanding environments.
• Efficient, power‑vented design
  Power venting reduces heat lost up the flue and improves overall system efficiency compared with non‑vented alternatives.
• Low noise & solid airflow
  The vibration‑isolated axial propeller fan keeps operation quieter and provides wide air distribution to help reduce cold spots in large bays or open areas.
• Service‑friendly features
  Built‑in 7‑segment diagnostics, LED status indicators, and external gas connections simplify maintenance and troubleshooting—cutting service time and costs.
• Flexible install options
  Standard ceiling or wall suspension points make installation adaptable across different layouts, and optional downturn or vertical louvers let you tailor airflow direction.

Maintenance Tips

• Annual heat exchanger inspection: Check the TCORE2® titanium‑stabilized aluminized steel exchanger for soot, rust or cracks and gently clean surface dust — keeping combustion efficiency high and avoiding overheating.
• Burner & flame assembly care: Remove debris from burner tubes and inspect propane flame for stable, mostly blue color — dirty burners reduce efficiency and can cause sooting.
• Clear venting & combustion air paths: Ensure power‑vent flue and intake are unobstructed to maintain proper draft and safe exhaust of combustion gases.
• Fan, blower & motor maintenance: Clean axial propeller fan and motor housing; check for imbalance, worn bearings or loose set screws to prevent airflow restriction.
• Electrical & ignition checks: Tighten wiring and inspect/clean direct spark ignitor and flame sensor for reliable starts; use LED diagnostics for early fault detection.
• Inspect gas supply & connections: Check propane line fittings for leaks and proper regulator function — address any issues before operation.
• Keep exterior clean: Remove dust and debris from cabinet, louvers and intake screens to support airflow and efficiency.
• Schedule annual professional service: A certified HVAC technician should test combustion, safety controls, and temperature rise to ensure safe, efficient performance.
