  • Features
  • Helical internal heat exchanger - Spiral heat exchanger keeps hot combustion gases in the tank longer to lengthen the heat transfer cycle, positioned in the center of the tank for more even heat distribution
  • Operates at 96% thermal efficiency, which saves money on operating costs compared to a standard 80% efficient gas water heater
  • Power direct vent design - Combined vertical and horizontal runs terminating through an outside wall
  • Vents using PVC, CPVC or polypropylene pipe, Canadian installations require ULC S636 approved PVC CPVC or polypropylene pipe for venting
  • Side-mounted hot and cold recirculating taps - Allows vertex to be installed as part of combination space heating/water heating applications
  • Advanced electronic control - Large LCD display, precise temperature control, advanced diagnostics, iCOMM™ compatible and can be monitored from remote locations
  • Blue Diamond® glass coating - Provides superior corrosion resistance compared to industry standard glass lining
  • Top fired ultra-low NOx gas burner - Enhanced ultra-low NOx burner complies with SCAQMD rule 1146.2 and other air quality management districts with similar requirements for NOx emissions of less than 14 ng/j
  • Certified for sea level to 10100 ft elevation
