Features

Features

 N/A 82% thermal efficiency means lower operating costs.

Fan Assisted Combustion - The blower is built into the Low NOx burner assembly for Ultra-Low NOx readings that comply with SCQAMD rule1146.2 of 14 ng/j or 20 ppm.

Metal Venting - Rated Category I Appliance. Uses standard double wall type "B" vent. Can be commonly vented with other Category I appliances. Vent connects directly to the vent connector outlet. No Draft hood or barometric damper required. Perfect choice for retrofit and upgrade installations.

Water Connections - For ease of installation, all BTLs feature water connections on the top, front, and rear. "The Eliminator™" inlet water connection eliminates harmful scale buildup, extending the life of the product. The front inlet connection must be used for the Eliminator™ benefits.

Glass Lined Tank - Permaglas® Ultracoat is the proprietary ceramic coating developed by A. O. Smith®’s ceramic engineers specifically for the heater. It is applied after the complete tank has been assembled to give a seamless barrier against hot water corrosion.

Installed Cost Savings - When multiple BTL units are exclusively used in a vent manifold, use the National Fuel Gas Code Table 13 Vent Sizing information to determine vent diameter and specifications. The BTL often uses a smaller vent diameter than a natural draft water heater which saves on installation cost.

Fully Automatic Digital Controls with Safety Shutoff - Accurate, dependable control system. Features a two speed blower control for smooth main burner light-off. Manual reset gas shutoff device for added safety. Maximum inlet gas pressure is 14" W.C. Minimum gas pressure is 3.5" W.C. Natural Gas.

Foam Insulation - Saves fuel, helps reduce standby heat loss.

Jacket - Heavy gauge steel finished with a baked enamel finish over a bonderized undercoat.

Easy Cleaning - Handhole cleanout allows access for easy cleaning.

Intermittent Ignition Device - Eliminates standing pilot. Provides flame failure response in less than one second. Spark igniter and power ON/OFF switch.

Easy-to-install - Completely factory-assembled. Only gas, water, vent and electric connections need be made. Provided with drain valve.

Anodes - CoreGuard™ long-life, stainless steel core anode rods.

Plug Kits - Pipe nipples and caps are included to plug unused water connections.
