FEATURES

82% Thermal Efficiency
Means Lower Operating Costs

Fan Assisted Combustion

• The blower is built into the Low NOx burner
assembly for Ultra-Low NOx readings that comply
with SCQAMD rule1146.2 of 14 ng/j or 20 ppm

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

• No Draft hood or barometric damper required

• Perfect choice for retrofit and upgrade installations

Water Connections

• For ease of installation, all SBLs 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 Vent Sizing information to
determine vent diameter than a natural draft water
heater and specifications

• The SBL often 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

• Features a two speed blower control for smooth
main burner light-off

• 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

SAMPLE SPECIFICATION

Water Heater(s) shall be Model __________ as manufactured by STATE, or equal. Water heater(s) shall be of glasslined design, and gasfired, equipped to burn natural gas and design
certified by the Underwriter Laboratory under Volume III tests for commercial heaters for delivery of 180°F water, and meet or exceed the thermal efficiency and standby loss
requirements of the U.S. Department of Energy and Current Edition of ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1. Heaters shall have an input rating of __________ and a recovery rating of __________
GPH at a temperature rise of 100°F with a storage capacity of __________ gallons. Heaters shall be equipped with 1 1/2” water inlet and outlet openings, a 2 3/4” x 3 3/4” boiler­type handhole cleanout and shall have a maximum working pressure of 160 psi. Water heater(s) shall be equipped with an integrated control system consisting of a 180°F adjustable
thermostat with upper and lower sensing bulbs, which average the water temperatures at the top and bottom of the tank for maximum water temperature control. Heater(s) shall be
provided with a manual reset gas shutoff device, anodes for cathodic protection and IID system. CSA Certified and ASME Rated T&P Relief Valve shall be furnished and installed
by the factory. The heater shall be insulated with foam insulation or equal. The outer jacket shall have a baked enamel finish over a bonderized undercoating. All internal surfaces of
the heater(s) exposed to water shall be glass-lined with an alkaline borosilicate composition that has been fused-to-steel by firing at a temperature range of 1400° to 1600°F. Heater

tank shall have a 3 year limited warranty against corrosion or sediment buildup as outlined in the written warranty. Fully illustrated instruction manual to be included.
