ULTRA-LOW NOX
COMMERCIAL GAS TANK-TYPE WATER HEATERS
®
SBL81 199 NE & SBL100 199 NE
Series 200
FEATURES
80% Thermal Efficiency
Means Lower Operating Costs
Fan Assisted Combustion
• The blower is built into the low NOx burner
assembly. Complies with California SCAQMD
Rule 1146.2 and other air quality management
districts with similar NOx emission requirements
of 14 ng/J or 20 ppm.
Air Flapper
• A stainless steel air flapper is used inside the premix
system to replace externally mounted flue damper to
minimize the standby heat loss and to minimize the
overall heater height
Metal Venting
• Rated Category I Appliance. Uses standard
double wall type “B” vent
• Can be commonly vented with other
Category I appliances
• Vent connects directly to the vent connector outlet
• An excellent choice for retrofit and upgrade
installations
Water Connections
• For ease of installation, all SBL’s feature water
connections on the top, front, and rear.
• “Hydro Cannon” inlet water connection
eliminates harmful scale buildup, extending
the life of the product
• The front inlet connection must be used for the
Hydro Cannon benefits
Glasslined Tank
• Glass is applied after the complete tank has been
assembled to give a seamless barrier against
corrosion by hot water
Installed Cost Savings
• When multiple SBL units are exclusively used
in a vent manifold, use the National Fuel Gas
Code Table 13 Fan Sizing Charts to determine
vent diameter and specifications
• The SBL uses a smaller vent diameter than a natural
draft water heater which saves on installation cost
Fully Automatic Digital
Control with Safety Shutoff
• Accurate, dependable control system
• Manual reset gas shutoff device for added safety
• Maximum inlet gas pressure is 14” W.C. minimum
gas pressure is 3.5” W.C. natural gas
Foam Insulation
• Saves fuel, helps reduce standby heat loss
Jacket
• Heavy gauge steel finished with a baked enamel
finish over a bonderized undercoat
Easy Cleaning
• Handhole cleanout allows access for easy cleaning
Fully Tested for Safety
and Performance
• Design certified by the Underwriters Laboratory
for 180°F hot water service
• Meets rigid requirements of the National Sanitation
Foundation when equipped with optional leg kit
• Certified for use on combustible flooring
Intermittent Ignition Device
• Eliminates standing pilot
• Provides flame failure response in less than
one second
• Spark ignitor and power ON/OFF switch
Easy to Install
• Completely factory-assembled
• Only gas, water, vent and electric connections
need be made
• Provided with drain valve
Anodes
• Long-life, stainless steel core anode rods
Plug Kits
• Pipe nipples and caps are included to plug unused
water connections
Approval Ratings
and Certification
• All models meet ANSI Z21.10.3 - CSA 4.3
standards and the thermal efficiency and standby
loss requirements of the U.S. Department of Energy
and current edition of ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1
Other Features
