AdvantagePlus

from Rheem-Ruud

The sealed-combustion gas fired water heater
line that’s perfect for commercial applications needing

LARGE VOLUMES of LOW-COST hot water.

• 95% efficient sealed-combustion design: Saves

hundreds, even thousands, of dollars in annual
operating costs.

• No chimney required – Vents up to 40 feet using

3" Schedule 40 PVC, CPVC or ABS pipe.*

* 100,000 and 130,000 BTU/hour models are certified to vent with 2˝ Schedule PVC,

CPVC or ABS Pipe.

• Low-weight design: Rust-proof nonferrous outer jacket

and nonmetallic trim components make AdvantagePlus
much lighter and easier to maneuver than comparable
competitive models.

• Rugged and corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel

tank ensures long life. No anode rod is needed.

• High-efficiency 90/10 cupronickel heat exchanger

features the same highly durable, corrosion-resistant
material commonly used for boiler heat
exchangers.

• Whisper-quiet design: The burner and

blower assembly is located below eye
level and behind an enclosure made of
ABS plastic, resulting in an ultra-quiet
operation.

• Easy to service: All components and

controls are conveniently located
behind an easy-to-remove, front­mounted access panel.

• Storage capacities from 45 to

119 gallons.

• Inputs from 100,000 to 199,000

BTU/hour.

• Large volumes fast: 119-gallon,

199,000 BTU/hour model delivers
314 gallons of hot water in the first
hour, while needing only 31 minutes
to fully recover.

• Saves energy: No burning pilot light.

• Meets low NOx requirements in

California (SCAQMD Rule 1146.2)
and Texas (TNRCC).

• No chimney required: 85 equivalent

feet of vent length, using plastic pipe.

• Self-diagnostic electronic control: Features digital

readout of water temperature set point and differential.

• Minimizes heat loss: 2" polyurethane foam insulation

shrinks heat loss to less than 0.5° F per hour
(R-17 rating).

• Wide temperature-setting range: 70°F to 160°F.

(180°F on booster models).

• Zero clearance to any combustible surface.

• Easy equipment servicing through highly accessible

front cover (24" service clearance recommended).

The ultimate
in heavy-duty
durability,
high-tech efficiency
and user-friendly
flexibility.
