INTELLIGENT CONTROL LOGIC
The internal microprocessor provides enhanced operating parameters and tighter differentials for precise sensing and fasting heating response to optimize performance.
SELF-POWERED ELECTRONIC GAS VALVE
Uses a Thermopile to generate the power needed to operate the electronics.
DIAGNOSTICS
The electronic gas control incorporates an LED status indicator that monitors system operation & service diagnostics.
FVIR COMPLIANT
Equipped with a flame arrestor that provides smooth ignition and ensures that in the event of accidental exposure to flammable vapors, the vapors are safetly combusted inside the sealed chamber.
DYNACLEAN™ II DIFFUSER DIP TUBE
Helps reduce lime and sediment buildup, maximizes hot water output. Made from long-lasting PEX cross-linked polymer.

• Burner system complies with 10ng/j Ultra-low NOx SCAQMD requirements.
• Burner screen acts as a secondary flame arrestor in the event of accidental exposure to flammable vapors.
• If flammable vapors accidentally enter the combustion chamber, the flame trap and burner are designed so flames burn off inside the chamber and cannot escape outside of the heater.
