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
