Signature Series High Efficiency Water Heaters
T
he Signature Series High Efficiency commercial gas water heaters are designed for outstanding
reliability and excellent thermal efficiency. In comparison to standard commercial water heaters
these models deliver 95% efficiency.
Features
• Fully submerged, spiral-shaped condensing heat exchanger
to maximize heat transfer, provide high efficiency, and avoid
sediment buildup on the heat exchanger surface
• Top mounted controls (gas valve, combustion air blower)
for easy access during installation and service
• Advanced microprocessor controls ignition and thermostat,
with adjustment of water temperature from 100°F to 180°F
• User-friendly LCD display shows all operating settings and
failure modes for ease of use
• Powered anodes: two titanium powered anodes provide
superior tank protection in varying water conditions
• Flexible venting options; standard power vent or power
direct vent flexibility, in vertical or sidewall configurations,
using ULC S636 PVC or CPVC pipe in runs of up to 120
feet depending upon vent pipe size
• Commercial grade glass-lined tank and heat exchanger
provide long-term protection against corrosion; heat
exchanger is glassed internally and externally to protect
against corrosive flue gases and condensate
