Features

Features

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 SBLs feature water connections on the top, front, and rear.
  • "Hydro Cannon" inlet water connection eliminates harmful scale buildup, extending the life of the product.
  • The front inlet connection must be used for the Hydro Cannon benefits.
Glasslined Tank
  • Glass is applie d after the complete tank has been assembled to give a seamless barrier against corrosion by hot water.
Installed Cost Savings
  • When multiple SBL units are exclusively used in a vent manifold, use the National Fuel Gas Code Table 13 Vent Sizing information to determine vent diameter than a natural draft water heater and specifications.
  • The SBL often uses a smaller vent diameter than a natural draft water heater which saves on installation cost.
Fully Automatic Digital Control 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.
Fully Tested for Safety and Performance.
  • Design certified by the Underwriters Laboratory for 180 ºF hot water service.
  • Meets rigid requirements of the National Sanitation Foundation when equipped with optional leg kit.
  • Certified for use on combustible flooring.
Intermittent Ignition Device
  • Eliminates standing pilot.
  • Provides flame failure response in less than one second.
  • Spark ignitor 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
  • Long-life, stainless steel core anode rods.
Plug Kits
  • Pipe nipples and caps are included to plug unused water connections.
NSF Leg Kit.
  • Meets NSF Standard 5 with optional leg kit - Part #9008214005.
