A. O. Smith BPD-75 User Manual

Commercial Gas Water Heaters

FEATURES

The BPD-75 tank-type commercial gas water heater is intended for light-duty applications such as small ofﬁ ce buildings and duplex apartment homes. The BPD-75 features a power direct-vent design, with a factory-installed blower. The blower permits sealed combustion direct-vent operation, with separate venting and air intake runs from outside the structure. The BPD-75 offers installation versatility by allowing venting and intake runs up to 50 feet, using 3” Schedule 40 PVC pipe.

The power direct-vent design also eliminates the potential for performance and safety problems caused by negative air pressure, a problem found in many commercial applications with inadequate indoor ventilation.
