Product Features & Options

Helical Coil Heat Exchanger

Spiral heat exchanger keeps hot combustion gases in the tank longer to lengthen the heat transfer cycle. It's positioned in the center of the tank for more even and efficient heat distribution, which saves money on operating costs compared to a standard gas water heater.

For installation with combination space heating/potable water heating applications (such as with air handlers) or any system requiring a recirculating hot water loop.

Advanced Electronic Control

Large LCD display; Precise temperature control; Advanced diagnostics; iCOMM Compatable.

Brass Drain Valve

• Solid brass, tamper resistant, enhanced-flow, ball type, valve.

• Uses a standard female hose fitting that allows for fast and easy draining during maintenance.

• Screwdriver slot features a 1/4 turn radius, for straight-through water flow and a quick and positive shut off.
