 N/A Energy Star® Qualified

Helical Internal Heat Exchanger
  • Completely surrounded by water in tank, provides much greater heat transfer surface than standard straight flue tube.
  • Operates at 96% thermal efficiency, which saves money on operating costs, increases hot water output compared to standard efficiency water heaters.
  • Minimizes standby losses by trapping heat in the tank.
  • Spiral heat exchanger reduces the accumulation of lime scale, to help maintain higher efficiency performance over time.
Versatile Power Direct Vent Design
  • Uses inexpensive PVC, CPVC, ABS or polypropylene pipe. Canadian installations require ULC S636 approved PVC or CPVC pipe for venting. Can be vented vertically thru-the-roof or horizontally thru-the-wall.
    • 2" pipe, vents up to 45 equivalent feet.
    • 3" pipe, vents up to 128 equivalent feet.
  • Optional concentric vent and sidewall termination kits available.
Condensing Design
  • 96% efficient condensing design.
  • Equipped with condensate drain tee.
Side-Mounted Hot and Cold Recirculating Taps
  • Allows Cyclone® Xi™ to be installed as part of combination space heating/water heating applications.
  • Plugs for the recirculating taps are factory installed.
Advanced Electronic Control
  • Large LCD display.
  • Precise temperature control.
  • Advanced diagnostics.
  • iCOMM™ Compatible and can be monitored from remote locations.
Permaglas® Ultra Coat™ Glass Lining
  • A.O. Smith® exclusive process provides superior protection against corrosion.
  • Protects all interior tank surfaces including inside and outside of the helical heat exchanger.
Heavy-Duty Anodic Protection
  • Provides even more protection against corrosion.
Available In Natural Gas and Propane

Top-Fired Low NOx Green Choice® Gas Burner
  • Complies with California SCAQMD Rule 1146.2 and other Air Quality Management Districts with similar NOx emission requirements of 14 ng/j or 20 ppm.
