Features and Benefits

Features and Benefits

 N/A The tighter the commercial retrofit, the more you will appreciate how the Universal™'s compact size and multiple water connections simplify installations. Choose from 80% thermal efficiency models that range from 250000 to 360000 BTU/hr and have maximum temperature setting of 180 degrees Fahrenheit.

Space Saver Design
The short height and narrow jacket diameter, plus the top, front and rear water inlets/outlets offer the ultimate in installation flexibility.

System Sentinel™ LED Diagnostic System
Our exclusive diagnostic system, with glowing LED lights, verifies system operation sequence by sequence.

Patented Technology
Universal™'s proprietary steel formulation, patented multi-flue design, combined with two coats of porcelain enamel, results in a superior heat exchanger design.

Stainless Steel Burners
Precision burners, raised port design, are formed from high chromium stainless steel. Each burner assembly slides out like a drawer for quick inspection and maintenance.

Factory Installed Draft Inducer
Provides an induced draft allowing higher BTU's to be vented through a 6" vent.

Full-port, Full-flow Drain Valve
Factory installed brass drain valve allows for faster draining and servicing.

Direct Spark-to-Pilot Ignition System
Energy saving ignition that ignites pilot only when there is a call for heat.

Altitude Certifications
Up to 5200 feet for natural gas and 2000 feet for LP.

Patented Anode Rods
Anode design utilizes multiple magnesium rods to ensure corrosion resistance for a long tank life.

General Information

General Information

 N/A Efficiency
All models tested according to ANSI test procedures, and meet or exceed the thermal efficiency and standby loss requirements of ASHRAE standard (EPact). Also exceeds energy efficiency codes of all states including California Energy Commission (CEC).

Safety and Construction
Design certified by CSA: For operation at 180 degrees; meets all safety and construction requirement of ANSI Z-21.10.3; as an automatic storage or instantaneous water heater; as an automatic circulating tank water heater; and for operation on combustible floors and in alcove installations. Certified for 150 psi maximum working pressure (160 psi for ASME models).

Optional Construction
ASME construction is available on designated models. UL Sanitation (NSF5) compliant models are available when equipped with optional seal kit (Part No. AM35450).

Note

Note

 N/A Recovery ratings are based on thermal efficiencies obtained in a CSA certified laboratory. Recovery rate shown on the rating plate (75%) thermal efficiency in accordance with ANSI Z21.10.3 labeling requirements. (A) indicates available ASME model.
