A. O. Smith GPVL-40 User Manual
Residential Gas Water Heaters
PROMAX®POWER VENT
The ProMax Power Vent water heaters have been
engineered to maximize efficiency and deliver
a greater energy factor (EF).
FEATURES
ENERGY STAR®QUALIFIED
■ All models meet the September 2010 ENERGY STAR®EF requirement
and may also qualify for local utility and rebate programs
■ Dynaclean™II dip tube optimizes inlet water pressure to minimize cold
water regions within the tank. The self-cleaning action also reduces
sediment accumulation on the bottom of the tank.
■ Hot-surface ignitor is more robust and reliable than standing pilot, and
reduces energy consumption
■ Built-in heat traps on the water inlet and outlet reduce the amount of
heat lost through piping
■ 2-inch, thick, “Environmentally-Friendly” foam insulation reduces the
amount of heat loss and contributes to overall energy efficiency
BLUE DIAMOND®GLASS COATING
■ An A. O. Smith exclusive provides superior corrosion resistance compared
to the industry-standard glasslining
VERSATILE POWER VENT DESIGN
■ All models feature an exclusive 3-position rotatable blower outlet
which adds flexibility
■ Combined horizontal and vertical vent runs up to 180 equivalent feet
with 4” diameter venting (ABS, PVC, CPVC and polypropylene)
■ All models are equipped with a protected sensor that detects the
presence of flammable vapors and automatically disables the burner
to prevent ignition
■ Air intake snorkel elevates the inlet location of combustion air to
prevent flammable vapors from entering the sealed combustion chamber
■ Reduced NOx emissions comply with air quality management
district regulations
USER-FRIENDLY
■ State-of-the-art electronic gas control provides more precise
temperature control
■ LED control light displays operation status and diagnostics information
■ Factory-installed T&P and a durable, tamper-resistant brass drain valve
are positioned for service accessibility
