Universal

Gas Commercial Water Heaters are specifically designed to

minimize the difficulty of replacing failed water heaters and are versatile for
new installations. These products are designed for applications requiring
large quantities of hot water.

Construction Features:

• Universal tank design –

maximizes installation adaptability
by offering models with Top, Front
Side and Rear Side Inlet/Outlet
water connections.

• Universal space saver design –

short heights and small jacket
diameters result in greater
installation flexibility.

• Patented multi-flue tank design –

proprietary steel formulation,
patented multi-flue design, and
two coats of high temperature
porcelain enamel to maximize
corrosion resistance result in a
superior heat exchanger design.

• Low profile automatic flue

damper –

low profile design minimizes over-
all product height. New heavy duty
vent hood supports are designed
to withstand rigors of installation.

• Spark-To-Pilot ignition system –

standard on all models. Provides
reliable and energy saving ignition
sequencing by igniting the pilot
only when the thermostat calls for
heat.

• System Sentinel

™

LED

diagnostic system –

our exclusive diagnostic system,
with glowing LED lights, verifies
system operation sequence by
sequence.

• Full port, full flow brass drain

valve
