Heavy-Duty Gas BCG3

Warranty:

1-Year Parts    3-Year Tank

• All Heavy-Duty Commercial Gas units have a glass coated internally-lined tank fired at 1600°F. This provides a tough interior surface for storage tanks and maximum protection against the wearing effects of high-volume and high-temperature water.

Features:

• Multiple Water Connections: Top, front, and back.
• Thermostat Control: Adjustable to temperatures up to 180°F. A recycling energy cut-off (ECO) control shuts off gas in the event of an overheating condition.
• Electronic Thermister Sensor for consistent water temperature control.
• Electronic Intermittent Ignition: Eliminates standing pilot light for maximum energy efficiency.
• Non-CFC Foam Insulation: Foam insulation saves fuel by retarding heat loss.
• Multiple Anode Rods: Provides cathodic protection for longer tank life through even distribution, for protection against corrosion of tank interior.
• Cleanout Opening: Adequately sized for easy cleaning.
• Design certified by the Underwriter’s Laboratory in accordance with the latest addition of ANSI Z21.10.3 or CSA 4.3 for up to 180°F as an automatic storage heater. All models are certified at a maximum 160 PSI working pressure.
• ASHRAE Standard 90.1b (Current Standard): Thermal efficiency and standby requirements are met or exceeded.
• California(CEC) and New York energy requirements met or exceeded.
• Available in 154,000 BTU and 180,000 BTU versions.
