Vanuatu teenager Clement Mainguy beat Rashed Nawaf 6-3 7-5 in the opening singles rubber to secure his first win at senior Davis Cup level.
Colin Sinclair from the Northern Marianas secured the win with a clinical 6-1 6-0 victory over Mousa Shanan Zayed.
With a spot in the promotion playoffs already secure, Pacific Oceania took the opportunity to give Tahiti's Heimanarii Lai San his first taste of Davis Cup action in the doubles.
