Meets or exceeds ASHRAE/IES 90.1 b-1989 (1992 requirements)
Standards.
FEATURES
ALL NON-FERROUS WATERWAYS - All heat exchanger waterways
are 100% copper and bronze. Heavy duty bronze castings and copper
heat exchanger tubes. Immune to thermal shock. Ideal for hydronic
applications.
OPTIMUM ENERGY HEAT TRANSFER - Double row integral finned
copper heat exchanger provides maximum heat transfer. A. O.
Smith’s self-baffling staggered tube design, assures up to 82%
thermal efficiency.
BRONZE REMOVABLE RETURN BENDS - Easily removable, these
allow access and Inspection of individual tubes. These bronze return
bends offer the optimum protection against corrosion or rust found
in cast iron headers.
GASKETLESS WET SECTION - Unique “o” ring design compresses
and forms a water tight seal outside and away from the combustion
chamber. This isolation allows for years of trouble-free service
without gasket leaks.
DURAMAX STAINLESS STEEL BURNERS - Reliable, safe and
quiet. Protects against corrosion and deterioration found with
aluminized burners. Easy slide out burner tray.
LOW-PROFILE DESIGN - Draft diverter is built-in to provide extra
clearances for those tight retrofit applications. Certified by A.G.A./
C.G.A.
AUTOMATIC SAFE CONTROLS - Highest quality controls assure
dependable operation, require practically no attention. Safety shutoff
of pilot and main burners in the event of pilot failure.
INTERMITTENT IGNITION - Standard on all Dura-Max.
COMPACT DESIGN - This rugged unit incorporates a clean, compact
jacket design. Allows for easy access and disassembly. Cool to the
touch. Approved for combustible floor installations. Gas train is
enclosed inside the cabinet.
