Ashley 17,000 BTU Direct Vent Wall Heater DVAG17L

The DVAG17-DF Direct Vent Wall Heater from Ashley Hearth Products makes the perfect solution for zoned heating, operating on both natural gas and propane to deliver up to 17,000 BTUs and warm spaces up to 570 sq. ft. The space-saving direct vent furnace design mounts to an exterior wall, with an adjustable vent assembly that fits walls from 4-1/2 in. to 10 in. thick. The gas flame is completely sealed, drawing combustion air from outside and venting products directly outdoors, so no room air is used for combustion and windows and doors stay closed. A 430 stainless steel ported burner provides silent on and off operation, and matchless piezo lighting allows for quick, easy startup without needing matches. A safety pilot with a built-in pressure regulator completely stops the flow of gas if the pilot is extinguished, and a complete venting kit is included with a heat shield, vent pipe, air intake pipe, flashing, cap, and connecting rod.

How The Ashley DVAG17-DF Compares To The Ashley DVAG17L And DVAG25-DF

Homeowners evaluating how to add zoned heat with fuel flexibility usually face this question: should I choose this DVAG17-DF for dual fuel flexibility at 17,000 BTUs, select the single-fuel DVAG17L for the same coverage without dual fuel capability, or step up to the larger DVAG25-DF for a more powerful dual fuel heater.

Here's the honest comparison:

Why The Ashley DVAG17-DF Is Worth The Investment

This isn't just another wall heater, it's a dual fuel unit, giving homeowners the flexibility to run on either natural gas or propane instead of committing permanently to a single fuel source like the DVAG17L.

The DVAG17-DF specifically addresses the needs of homeowners who want 17,000 BTUs of zoned heating coverage up to 570 sq. ft. but aren't certain which fuel source they'll have long-term access to, or who want the option to switch later.

Turns Fuel Uncertainty Into Genuine Flexibility. Dual fuel capability lets the same heater run on either natural gas or propane, so homeowners aren't locked into a single fuel source the way they are with a dedicated single-fuel model like the DVAG17L.

Built For Reliable, Off-Grid-Ready Heat

• Operates without electricity, making it ideal for use during power outages or off-grid applications
• A 430 stainless steel ported burner provides silent on and off operation
• Matchless piezo lighting allows for quick and easy startup without needing matches

Engineered For Simple, Complete Installation

• A complete venting kit is included, with heat shield, vent pipe, air intake pipe, flashing, cap, and connecting rod
• A safety pilot with a built-in pressure regulator completely stops the flow of gas if the pilot is extinguished
• The space-saving direct vent design mounts to an exterior wall with an adjustable vent assembly fitting walls from 4-1/2 in. to 10 in. thick

Real Savings

• Dual fuel flexibility avoids the cost of replacing the heater if the available fuel source changes down the road
• No electricity requirement means the heater keeps working during power outages without needing a backup power source
• A complete included venting kit avoids the added cost of sourcing separate venting components
• Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately

The Bottom Line Homeowners who want 17,000 BTUs of zoned heat without committing permanently to a single fuel source can't get that flexibility from a single-fuel model like the DVAG17L. The Ashley DVAG17-DF is built with dual fuel capability, a 430 stainless steel burner, and a complete included venting kit, so it delivers dependable, adaptable heat up to 570 sq. ft. For anyone wanting fuel flexibility in a mid-size zoned heating space, this is the heater built to make it work.
