What comes in the vent kit and what wall thicknesses are supported?
Vent kit includes: external air-intake tube with enamel hood, internal flue-gas tube, indoor and outdoor mounting plates, plus a wall thimble on MDV12 and MDV20, with threaded rod and adjusting nut. Approved wall thickness is 4-1/2 in to 12-5/8 in. Thicker walls aren’t supported by the manual.
Can I convert propane to natural gas, and what about high-elevation derate?
These units are not convertible. Order the model for your gas type. Above 2,000 ft, reduce input by 4 percent per 1,000 ft.

Depending on your location and the item, you’ll have the option to pick up from a nearby warehouse terminal or request home delivery.

Your order will be delivered to the nearest terminal based on your location, where you can pick it up at your convenience.
Need it delivered to your home or cabin? We can set that up for you. There is a small additional fee for residential delivery.
Remote and Hard-to-Reach Locations
If you live in a remote area or outside standard freight zones, please contact us before placing your order.
Some rural locations may require additional charges or special delivery arrangements. We'll confirm everything with our freight partner before shipping.

Receiving Freight Shipments
For large freight deliveries, you will receive a call from the carrier or your nearest terminal when your order is ready for pickup or delivery.
Important: Always inspect your shipment before signing any paperwork.
If the box or pallet is damaged:
- Do not sign the Bill of Lading (BOL) as "received in good condition"
- Instead, note the damage clearly on the BOL
- Or refuse the shipment if damage is significant
If no damage is recorded and the shipment is accepted, the freight carrier will consider it delivered in perfect condition. In that case, we cannot issue a refund or replacement. This is a strict freight carrier policy and applies to all deliveries.
Damaged or Missing Items
If there’s an issue with your shipment (whether it’s damage, missing parts, or anything unusual) please contact us within 48 hours of receiving the item. Be sure to include photos whenever possible, as these are often required to file a freight claim on your behalf. If the item was shipped to a terminal, it must be picked up within 48 hours or a $45/day storage fee will apply.
We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return.
To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase. Shipping costs back to Canadian Off Grid are the responsibility of the customer and 15% restocking fee will apply.
