Description

The NordicStove Toby Oil Controller, part number NROIL130, is a mechanical fuel flow regulator designed to control the delivery of heating oil to the vaporizing burner of the NordicStove 130 series freestanding oil-fired room heater. The Toby DVR5 regulates fuel flow through a variable-position dosage slot on a metering fuel tube, providing manually adjustable flame output across the calibrated operating range between the minimum setting of 2.5 and the maximum setting of 9.5 specific to the 130 series.

At maximum setting, the 130 series heater operates at an input rating of 20,307 BTU per hour and delivers a proximal heat output of 13,000 BTU. This controller version does not include the optional thermostat assembly and operates exclusively through manual adjustment of the control knob by the operator.

The Toby DVR5 is a fully mechanical regulator that functions without electrical power or batteries, making it well suited to off-grid, remote, marine, tent, and cabin heating installations where reliable non-electric operation is required. A float-type carburetor within the controller automatically maintains the correct fuel level in the regulator bowl throughout operation, preventing over-fueling and burner flooding under normal conditions.

A flooded-bowl safety reset lever allows the operator to restore the controller to normal function if flooding occurs. A fuel filter screen on the inlet blocks foreign matter from reaching the metering fuel tube and burner nozzle. An over-heat shut-off device stops fuel flow to the burner if the regulator body reaches an unsafe temperature. The NROIL130 is factory-calibrated for Number 1 grade heating oil and is compatible with Number 2 heating oil, automotive diesel, marine diesel, and kerosene with appropriate burn setting adjustment. The optional thermostat assembly for automatic room temperature-based modulation is available separately.

What's Included: One NordicStove Toby DVR5 oil controller calibrated for the 130 series heater with minimum flow rate setting of 2.5 and maximum flow rate setting of 9.5. Thermostat assembly is not included.

Installation Limits: This oil controller is calibrated exclusively for the NordicStove 130 series and must not be installed on 68, 250, or 400 series heaters. The stove must be level for correct low-burn operation. High burn settings must be adjusted before low burn settings whenever controller calibration is changed. Crankcase oil, waste oil, gasoline, white gas, and any fuel mixture containing gasoline must never be used.

Compatibility: Compatible with NordicStove 130 series freestanding natural draft oil-fired room heaters using the Toby DVR5 oil control system. Accepts Number 1 heating oil, Number 2 heating oil, automotive diesel, marine diesel, and kerosene.

Product FAQ

What is the difference between the NROIL130 and the NROIL130T oil controller?

The NROIL130 is the base Toby DVR5 oil controller for the NordicStove 130 series without an attached thermostat assembly, requiring the operator to manually adjust the control knob to change the burn rate between the minimum setting of 2.5 and maximum setting of 9.5. The NROIL130T is the same controller paired with a non-electric thermostat assembly consisting of a fluid-filled sensing bulb, coiled connecting tube, adjustment knob, and actuation lever that automatically modulates fuel flow between low and high burn settings in response to ambient room temperature. Operators requiring manual-only control select the NROIL130, while those requiring automatic temperature-based modulation select the NROIL130T.

How does the Toby DVR5 on the NROIL130 regulate fuel delivery to the 130 series burner?

The Toby DVR5 regulates fuel delivery through a slotted dosage fuel tube within the controller body. As the operator rotates the control knob, the portion of the dosage slot exposed to the fuel pathway changes, increasing or decreasing the volume of fuel entering the burner in direct proportion to knob position. A float-type carburetor continuously maintains a consistent fuel level in the regulator bowl, ensuring that the dosage slot delivers a calibrated and predictable fuel volume at each knob position across the full 2.5 minimum to 9.5 maximum operating range of the 130 series controller.

Can the NROIL130 oil controller be installed on other NordicStove series models?

No. The NROIL130 is factory-calibrated exclusively for the NordicStove 130 series and must not be installed on 68, 250, or 400 series heaters. Each NordicStove series requires a controller calibrated to its specific minimum and maximum flow rate range, as the dosage slot dimensions and adjustment screw positions differ across series. Installing a controller from the wrong series produces incorrect fuel delivery rates, unstable flame behavior, and potential safety risks from over-fueling or under-fueling the burner at one or both operating positions.

What is the correct sequence for adjusting the burn settings on the NROIL130 controller?

The high burn setting must always be adjusted before the low burn setting on the Toby DVR5 oil controller. Two screws affect fuel flow at the high setting — the high adjusting screw and the high limit screw — and both must be correctly set before any adjustment is made to the low burn position. Before making any adjustments, the chimney must be drafting properly, the fuel tank and filter must be providing unobstructed flow to the stove, and the stove must be confirmed level. Adjusting the low burn setting before completing the high burn adjustment results in an improperly calibrated operating range across both positions.

What fuels are compatible with the NordicStove NROIL130 oil controller?

The NROIL130 is factory-calibrated for Number 1 grade heating oil and is compatible with Number 2 heating oil, automotive diesel, marine diesel, and kerosene. When any fuel other than Number 1 heating oil is used, the high and low burn adjustment screws may require recalibration to achieve proper flame output and stable low-range operation for that fuel grade. Crankcase oil, waste oil, gasoline, white gas, and any mixture containing gasoline must never be used under any circumstances, as these create severe fire and combustion hazards in a vaporizing burner system.

Can the optional thermostat be added to the NROIL130 controller after purchase?

Yes. The Toby DVR5 oil controller is designed to accept the optional NordicStove thermostat assembly, which mounts directly onto the top of the controller with the actuation lever tip positioned over the thermostat fuel metering pin. Once installed, the thermostat automatically modulates fuel flow between the low and high burn positions in response to ambient room temperature without requiring electrical power. After the thermostat is attached, the controller burn settings must be verified and the thermostat calibrated to match the current low and high output positions established for the NROIL130 before returning to normal thermostat-controlled operation.
