Residential High Eciency Gas

6-Year Limited Tank/ 6-Year Limited Parts Warranty*

PRESSURIZED COMBUSTION SYSTEM

• Exclusive and patented pressurized combustion chamber with an advanced air intake blower delivers superior eciency. Much like a turbocharger, the blower distributes an optimum air-to-gas mixture pushing exhaust gases through the highly restricted ue bae. The end result is the most ecient atmospheric gas product on the market with a .70 Energy Factor (EF).

INSTALLATION FRIENDLY

• Allows for easy replacement of standard atmospheric vent heaters.

• Easily connects to existing B-vent.

FANASSISTED, CATEGORY 1 APPLIANCE

24V ELECTRONIC CONTROLS

• Tighter dierential for more consistent hot water delivery.

ELECTRONIC IGNITION

• The durable hot surface ignitor eliminates pilot relight issues (no standing pilot).

LCD USER INTERFACE

• Easy-to-read, eye level display. Simple temperature settings and adjustments. Service diagnostics are in plain text.

POWERED ANODE ROD

• Powered anodes are non-sacricial, so they do not deplete over time. Additionally, they provide exceptional performance in all water conditions.

MEETS ENERGY-EFFICIENCY REQUIREMENTS FOR MOST GAS UTILITY REBATE PROGRAMS, AND MEETS ENERGY STAR® REQUIREMENTS.

DURABLE TAMPER-RESISTANT BRASS DRAIN VALVE

DIFFUSER DIP TUBE

• Helps reduce lime and sediment buildup, maximizes hot water output.

• Made from long-lasting PEX cross-linked polymer.

GREEN CHOICE® GAS BURNER

• Patented “Eco-Friendly” Green Choice® gas burner reduces NOx emissions by 33% compared to standard burners and meets low NOx requirements of less than 40ng/j.

Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant Water Heaters

This FVIR design meets the American National Standards Institute standards (ANSI Z21.10.1 - 4.1 CSA Standards) that deal with the accidental or unintended ignition of ammable vapors outside the water heater, such as those emitted by gasoline.

Residential Gas High Eciency Water Heater Specication

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 or exceed the Federal Energy Eciency Standards eective 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.
