Features

Features

 N/A
  • Self-Cleaning High Pressure Water Jets.
    Significantly reduces sediment buildup inside the tank. Helps maintain rated thermal efficiency, reduces water heating costs. Helps maximize tank life.
  • Automatic Flue Damper (120-390 Models).
    Automatic motorized flue damper helps minimize standby heat loss. Low-profile draft diverter helps for installation in tight spaces. 85T500 Models feature an induced draft design and no damper.
  • Three Water Connection Options.
    Hot and cold water connections can be made through front, top or rear of unit. High Pressure Water Jets operate when cold water is connected through front inlet connection.
  • Intermittent Electronic Ignition.
    Eliminates standing pilot, saves energy. Includes power ON/OFF switch. Provides flame failure response in less than one second.
  • Glasslined Tank with Multiple Anode Rods.
    Provides outstanding protection against corrosion.
