Commercial eF Series® Ultra High Efficiency

Gas Water Heater

The eF Series® Models feature:

■ Thermal Efficiency up to 99.1%—Ultra High Efficiency results in less fuel

■ ENERGY STAR

(150,199,250,399) Models.

■ Factory Installed Hydrojet

inlet sediment reducing device helps prevent sediment build up in the tank.

■ Direct Spark Ignition—For improved operational dependability and

durability.

■ Operation Mode—Two different digitally displayed operation modes have

the capability of adjusting the temperature setting up to 180°F (82°C), and
adjusting the degree setting (ºF to ºC, or ºC to ºF).

■ Service Mode—Eight different digitally displayed service screens can be

easily cycled through by pressing the select button. There is the capability
of adjusting the temperature setting up to 180°F (82°C), adjusting the
degree setting (ºF to ºC, or ºC to ºF), locking the maximum temperature
setting that can be adjusted in operation mode, displaying the temperature
sensor reading, displaying the flame current, and displaying diagnostic
codes.

■ Premix Power Burner—A self compensating negative regulation

system automatically increases or decreases fuel flow when a change
in combustion air is detected. This provides the range for optimum
combustion and efficiency (automatic high altitude compatibility).

■ Flexible Venting—The eF Series

either 2", 3" or 4" (51mm, 76mm or 107mm) PVC, CPVC or ABS (not
approved for Canada) vent pipe, and is approved for direct vent closed
combustion applications, or those applications that require inside air for
combustion. The eF Series
which means the air intake pipe doesn’t have to be vented the same
distance as the exhaust.

■ Ultra Quiet Operation.

■ A Single Exhaust Pressure Switch.

■ 1" (25mm) NPT Side Connections for Space Heating.

■ Sanitizing Capability—Temperature setting up to 180°F (82°C).

■ Complies with the latest ultra-low NOx requirement (14 ng/J NOx

limit).

■ ASME Code Available on All Models.

■ NSF Construction Available.

■ T&P Relief Valve—Installed.

■ Low Restrictive Brass Drain Valve—Durable tamper proof design.

eF Series® Additional Equipment Features:

Three Pass Heat Exchanger System—

Exchanger system keeps the hot combustion gases moving at
a high velocity. The combination of high turbulence and velocity
causes an enormous rate of heat transfer into the water.

Submerged Combustion Chamber—

combustion chamber in the center of the water storage tank
minimizes radiant heat loss and improves efficiency.

Zero Inch Clearance—

The eFSeries® jacket is cool to the
touch and is approved for zero inch clearance to combustibles for
unsurpassed installation flexibility.

Vitraglas® Lining—

An exclusively engineered enamel formula
that provides superior tank protection from the highly corrosive
effects of hot water. This formula (Vitraglas
surface by firing at a temperature of over 1600°F (871°C).

Protective Magnesium Anode Rods—

model has multiple anodes to provide added protection against
corrosion for long trouble-free service (EF100T399 has two
powered anode rods).

Each eF Series®

Factory Installed Hydrojet® Sediment Reduction
System—

Cold water inlet sediment reducing device helps

prevent sediment build up in tank.

Water Connections—

Factory-installed true dielectric fittings

extend water heater life and simplify water line connections.

Hand Hole Cleanout—

Allows inspection of tank interior and

facilitates the removal of sediment deposits.

E.C.O.—

A manual re-set Energy Cut Off (E.C.O) shuts off all gas

in event of an overheat condition. The ECO is manually resettable.

Non-CFC Foam Insulation—

Covers the sides and top of
tank, reducing the amount of heat loss. This results in less energy
consumption, improved operation efficiencies and jacket rigidity.
