A rotatable blower housing and multiple hood mounting points let a gas-fired water heater vent in different directions with less ductwork.
A heat-softening thermoplastic tube replaces failure-prone relief valves, venting an overheated water heater tank before rupture.
Raising the burner head into the mirror-plate space improves heat transfer while limiting combustion air heating, NOx generation, and added parts.
A tube-in-tube pressure vessel keeps part of the heated water liquid, reducing fat buildup and extending duct-cleaning steam operation.
Auxiliary heating devices warm critical steam generator components during water filling, reducing thermal stress and return-to-service time.
