equipped to burn __________ gas and design certified by UL. Heaters must meet all applicable energy codes and comply with ultra-low NOx emissions of 14
ng/J or 20 ppm. Heaters shall have an input rating of _______ BTU/H and a recovery capacity of ________ GPH at a temperature rise of 100°F with a storage
capacity of _______ gallons. Heater shall be equipped with a 2-3/4” x 3-3/4” boiler-type handhole cleanout and shall have a working pressure of 150 psi.
Heater(s) shall be provided with an automatic gas shutoff device and safety shutoff in event pilot flame is extinguished; a gas pressure regulator set for the type
of gas supplied; an approved draft hood, and extruded anode rod rigidly supported for cathodic protection. A CSA Certified and ASME Rated T&P Relief Valve
shall be furnished and installed by the manufacturer. The tank shall be foam insulated. The outer jacket shall have a baked enamel finish over a bonderized
undercoating. Fully illustrated instruction manual and parts list to be included. All internal surfaces of the heater(s) exposed to water shall be glasslined with an
alkaline borosilicate composition that has been fused-to-steel by firing at a temperature range of 1400° to 1600°F. Heater shall have a three year limited tank
and one year limited parts warranty against corrosion and tank failure due to sediment build-up as outlined in the written warranty. Heater(s) shall be design
certified by UL. Operation of the heater in a closed system where thermal expansion has not been compensated for with a properly sized expansion tank will
