Submerged Combustion Chamber, with Helical Heat Exchanger Coil

• Positioned in center of tank, surrounded by water to virtually eliminate radiant heat loss from chamber
• Direct spark ignition
• Spiral heat exchanger keeps hot burner gases swirling, uses centrifugal force to maximize efficiency of heat transfer to water in tank
• Spiral heat exchanger reduces lime scale from forming on water-side surfaces, which maintains energy efficiency over time

Powered Anodes Standard On All Models

• Provides long-lasting tank protection in varying water conditions
• Powered anodes are non-sacrificial
• Automatically adjusts output needed to properly protect the tank

Glass Lining

• Glass coating is applied using a liquid slush coating technique to ensure uniform coating
• Heat exchanger coil is glassed both externally and internally for optimum protection

Mechanical Venting Versatility

• Conventional power-venting or sealed combustion direct venting
• Vents vertically or through a sidewall
• Front located exhaust and condensate connections allow for easy install and access
• Vents with low cost PVC intake and exhaust pipe. Approved for optional CPVC, ABS, Polypropylene and AL29-4C stainless vent materials
• Direct-vent intake and exhaust pipe can terminate separately outside building, or through single opening, using concentric vent assembly

High Efficiency Modulating Pre-Mix Powered Burner

• Down-fired pre-mix burner provides optimum efficiency and quiet operation
• Top-mounted burner position prevents condensation from affecting burner operation

Space-Saving Design for Installation Flexibility
