COMMERCIAL-GRADE

RESIDENTIAL GAS WATER HEATERS

PROLINE® ATMOSPHERIC VENT

COMMERCIAL-GRADE RESIDENTIAL

INTELLIGENT CONTROL LOGIC*

•The internal microprocessor provides enhanced operating parameters and tighter differentials for precise sensing and faster heating response to optimize performance.

•Uses a thermopile to generate the power needed to operate the electronic gas control without requiring an external power source.

•The electronic gas control incorporates an LED status indicator that monitors system operation and service diagnostics.

•*Not available on 60,000 BTU input models (GCRX-50 and GCRX-55).

GREEN CHOICE® GAS BURNER

•Patented eco-friendly burner design reduces NOx emissions by up to 33% and complies with Low-NOx emission requirements of less than 40 ng/J.

DYNACLEAN™ DIFFUSER DIP TUBE

•Reduces lime and sediment buildup and maximizes hot water output. Made from long-lasting PEX cross-linked polymer.

COREGARD™ ANODE ROD

•Our anode rods have a stainless steel core that extends the life of the anode rod allowing superior tank protection far longer than standard anode rods.

PUSH-BUTTON PIEZO IGNITOR

•Makes lighting the pilot fast and easy with one-hand push-button spark ignition.

HEAT TRAP NIPPLES

• Factory-installed for faster installation.

BLUE DIAMOND® GLASS COATING

•Provides superior corrosion resistance compared to industry standard glass lining.

ENHANCED-FLOW BRASS DRAIN VALVE

•Our residential water heaters have a solid brass, tamper resistant, enhanced-flow, ball type, drain valve.

•Uses a standard female hose fitting that allows for fast and easy draining during maintenance.

•Designed for easy operation, this valve includes an integral screwdriver slot that features a 1/4 turn (open/close) radius, which not only permits full straight-through water flow but also a quick and positive shut off.

CODE COMPLIANCE

•Meets UBC, CEC and HUD National Codes.

•Meets the thermal efficiency and standby loss requirements of the U. S. Department of Energy and current edition of ASHRAE/ IES 90.1.

•Complies with the Federal Energy Conservation Standards effective April 16, 2015, in accordance with the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, (EPCA), as amended.

HIGH ENERGY FACTORS

•Eco-Friendly non-CFC foam insulation, external heat traps and specially designed combustion chamber combine to produce a high Energy Factor for maximum savings on operating costs.

CSA CERTIFIED AND ASME RATED T&P RELIEF VALVE

MAXIMUM HYDROSTATIC WORKING PRESSURE 150 PSI

DESIGN-CERTIFIED BY CSA INTERNATIONAL

•Certified at 300 PSI test pressure and 150 PSI working pressure. Listed according to ANSI Z21.10.1-CSA 4.1 standards governing storage tank-type gas water heaters.
