Cyclone
®
HE
BTX-80
76,000 BTU, 90%
thermal efficiency
The 50-gallon power vent Cyclone HE is designed to produce
more hot water than any commercial gas water heater in its class.
Thanks to the internal helical heat exchanger—similar to the
design of the industry-leading Cyclone Mxi models—the unit
achieves 90% thermal efficiency. With its small footprint and
easy installation, Cyclone HE delivers heavy-duty performance for
numerous light-duty smaller applications, making it a perfect
choice for restaurants, offices and other applications.
Helical Coil Heat Exchanger
n
Submerged heat exchanger provides much greater
heat transfer surface than standard straight flue tube
n
Produces 90% thermal efficiency, which saves money on
operating costs, and increases hot water output compared to
standard-efficiency water heaters
Versatile Power Vent Design
n
System allows combined vertical and horizontal vent runs,
using 2, 3 or 4˝ PVC, ABS, Polypropylene or CPVC pipe
Modular Blower
n
A condensate drain supplied to connect heat
exchanger outlet to blower
n
PVC Vent Attenuation Assembly (VAA) supplied for
applications where extra-quiet operating environment is
essential
High Output With Small Footprint
n
22˝ diameter, combined with 90% efficiency, 76,000 BTU
input means Cyclone HE can be installed in less space than a
larger 75-gallon unit with equal or better performance

space heating/water heating applications, or any system
requiring a recirculating hot water loop
n
Plugs for the recirculating taps are factory installed
Two Heavy-Duty Anode Rods
n
Provide advanced protection against corrosion
