High Eciency Power Vent
6-Year Limited Tank/ 6-Year Limited Parts Warranty*
90% THERMAL EFFICIENCY CONTINUOUS HOT WATER VERSATILE
POWER VENT DESIGN
• Today’s homes demand more hot water than ever before, and the 90% efficient
power vent gas water heater oers unprecedented levels of performance to meet
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
• Achieves 90% thermal eciency which saves money on operating costs compared to a standard 78%
ecient gas water heater
• Spiral heat exchanger reduces the accumulation of lime scale; maintains higher eciency performance
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 25 equivalent feet
– 3” pipe, vents up to 65 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
any system requiring a recirculating hot water loop, including radiant oor heating
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
