90% THERMAL EFFICIENCY CONTINUOUS HOT WATER VERSATILE
POWER VENT DESIGN
• Today’s homes demand more hot water than ever before, and the 90% efficient
the need. The 50-gallon water heater delivers hot water output that rivals a 75-gallon
atmospheric gas water heater. In fact, the fully condensing design is so advanced, it can
deliver “endless hot water for showers”…a continuous flow of over 3 gallons per minute.
* Yet it is easy to install, with height, diameter and installation requirements similar to
standard power-vent units.
HELICAL INTERNAL HEAT EXCHANGER
• Positioned in the center of the tank, surrounded by water to virtually eliminate radiant heat loss from
the chamber
•
•
over time.
POWER VENTS USING PVC PIPE
• Combined vertical and horizontal vent runs terminating through an outside wall, using Schedule 40
PVC pipe
• 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
– 4” pipe, vents up to 128 equivalent feet
MODULAR BLOWER
• Equipped with 120 volt, 60 Hz electrical system (rating 5 amps or less), 6-foot cord with standard
3-prong connector
• 2” PVC pipe, elbows and condensate drain supplied to connect heat exchanger outlet to blower
• PVC Vent Attenuation Assembly (VAA) supplied
SIDE-MOUNTED HOT AND COLD RECIRCULATING TAPS
• Allows water heater to be installed as part of combination space heating/water heating applications or
INTELLI-VENT™** GAS CONTROL
• Equipped with nearly indestructible silicon nitride hot surface ignitor — no standing pilot
• Advanced electronics for more precise control of water temperature and easy-to-understand
system diagnostics
COMMERCIAL GRADE GLASS LINING
• Provides superior protection against corrosion
• Protects all interior tank surfaces including inside and outside of helical heat exchanger
TWO HEAVY-DUTY ANODE RODS
• Provides added protection against corrosion
GREEN CHOICE® GAS BURNER
• Patented “Eco-Friendly” design reduces NOx emissions by up to 33% and meets less than
40ng/j requirements for low NOx
CSA CERTIFIED AND ASME RATED T&P RELIEF VALVE
MAXIMUM HYDROSTATIC WORKING PRESSURE: 150 PSI

Residential gas water heater(s) shall be models ____________ as manufactured by American Water Heaters, or an approved equal, and shall have a ______ -year tank
warranty and a ______ -year parts warranty, when installed in a residential application. Heater(s) shall have a storage capacity of ______ gallons and shall have a rated
input of __________ BTUs, and shall be designed, tested and listed with CSA International in accordance with the latest edition of ANSI Z21.10.1 - CSA4.1 standard. Heaters
shall meet the Federal Energy Efficiency Standards effective January 20, 2004, according to the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act (NAECA) of 1992. The interior
of the storage tank shall be lined with a Fused Ceramic Shield lining, fused to the tank at 1600° F, forming a corrosion-resistant lining; polymer linings are not acceptable.
Each tank shall be furnished with an internal powered anode for cathodic protection. The unit must be equipped with a combination gas control thermostat and
non-reset type ECO. A corrosion-resistant drain valve shall be provided on the front of each unit. The tank shall be totally encased in a steel jacket, painted and insulated
with a non-CFC foam to reduce standby heat loss. The tank must be design certified for 300 PSI test pressure and 150 working pressure.
