Power Direct Vent

Gas Water Heaters

A power direct vent water heater is ideal when inside air can’t be used for combustion, and a longer vent run is required. The air is drawn from outside using a pipe, and a motorized blower forces the exhaust outside. This water heater features: a sealed combustion chamber; factory-installed heat trap nipples; flexible venting options; a compact design for tight spaces, which makes it suitable for closet installations; and a conveniently located temperature and pressure relief valve, drain valve, junction box and anode rod, which allows for easy maintenance.
