Features and Benefits

Features and Benefits

 N/A The tighter the commercial retrofit, the more you will appreciate how this water heater's compact size simplifies installations. Choose from 80% Thermal Efficiency models that range from 45,000 to 80,000 Btu/h and have a maximum temperature setting of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Space Saver Design
Short heights and narrow jacket diameters offer the ultimate in installation flexibility.

Patented Technology
Proprietary steel formulation with a unique coat of high temperature porcelain enamel to maximize corrosion resistance resulting in a superior tank design.

Patented Anode Rods
Magnesium anode rods are used to ensure corrosion resistance for a long tank life.

Efficiency
Rigid foam insulation provides superior insulating qualities, improves efficiency and reduces operating costs. Our patented process of injecting foam into the insulating cavity adds additional durability.

Automatic Controls
Control system is designed to shut off gas if the pilot flame is extinguished. Relighting is a safe, easy procedure. Thermostat settings to 160 ºF. A built-in gas pressure regulator assures even gas flow.

Full Port, Full Flow Brass Drain Valve
Factory installed brass drain valve allows for faster draining and servicing.
