Features and Benefits

Features and Benefits

 N/A The tighter the commercial retrofit, the more you will appreciate how the Universal™'s compact size and multiple water connections simplify ultra low NOx installations. Choose from 80% thermal efficiency models that range from 125,000-399,900 Btu/h and 82% thermal efficiency models that range from 199,900 - 270,000 Btu/h. All models have a maximum temperature setting of 180 ºF.

Space Saver Design
The short heights and narrow jacket diameters, plus the top, front and rear water inlets/outlets offer the ultimate in installation flexibility.

System Sentinel™ LED Diagnostic System
Our exclusive diagnostic system, with glowing LED lights, verifies system operation sequence by sequence.

Patented Technology
Universal’s proprietary steel formulation, patented multi-flue design, combined with two coats of porcelain enamel, results in a superior heat exchanger design.

Ultra Low NOx Burner
The power assist burner design incorporates stainless steel multi-port burner tubes for long term low NOx performance, less than 14 ng/J. A sight glass allows for burner observation. The entire design is removable and it is highly resistant to the effects of negative air pressure common in modern commercial buildings.

Base Rail Design
Provides for better handeling when moving and positioning unit.

Low Profile Automatic Flue Damper
Low profile damper minimizes overall product height. Heavy duty vent hood supports are designed to withstand the rigors of installation.

Full-port, Full-flow Drain Valve
Factory installed brass drain valve allows for faster draining and servicing.

Direct Spark-to-Pilot Ignition System
Energy saving ignition that ignites pilot only when there is a call for heat.

Patented Anode Rods
Anode design utilizes multiple magnesium rods to ensure corrosion resistance for a long tank life.

General Information
