Features

Features

 N/A The BLN-80 commercial gas water heater meets California Air Quality Management District Requirements for NOx emissions of 14 ng/j or 20 ppm. This model is equipped with a pre-wired, factory-mounted blower. This blower provides more efficient control of heat and helps ensure an adequate supply of make-up air. Prior to ignition, the control proves a working draft.

Factory-Installed Blower
  • Control proves draft prior to ignition.
  • No draft hood or barometric damper required.
  • Blower is factory-mounted with a 6-foot power cord: requires 120 V, 3 amp or less electrical system connection.
Intelli-Vent™ Gas Control
  • Equipped with nearly indestructible silicon nitride hot surface igniter.
  • Advanced electronics for precise control of water temperature.
  • Easy-to-understand system diagnostics.
Rated as Category I Appliance
  • Category I appliance: uses standard metal, single-wall or "B" type vent.
  • May be common vented with other Category I appliances.
  • Vent connects directly to blower outlet.
Fully Automatic Control System
  • Auto-reset gas shutoff device prevents excessive water temperature.
  • Adjustable thermostat with 120 ºF to 180 ºF range.
  • Gas pressure regulator.
Glass Lined Tank
  • Exclusive CoreGard™ anode rods with stainless steel core provides additional corrosion protection.
Handhole Cleanout
  • Allows easy access to tank interior for cleaning.
