“Environmentally-Friendly”
Non-CFC Foam Insulation

Minimizes radiant heat loss.
Dip Tube

Carries inlet water deep
into tank.
Hot Surface Ignition

Has a solid state ignition
surface that does not
flutter or blow out. Provides
increased reliability and
efficiency over spark ignition
systems. Eliminates the
pilot and saves energy.
Intelli-Vent
™
Control

Provides temperature
control and LED diagnostics.
Glasslined Tank

Glass specifically developed
by A. O. Smith for water
heaters is permanently
fused to steel at 1600°F,
providing years of
corrosion protection
and dependable use.
Anode

Tank-mounted, screw-in
replaceable anode for
longer tank life.
High Input

80,000 BTU input assures
plenty of hot water is
available by providing
faster recovery rates and
higher first hour draws.
Burner

High input, multiport burner
for improved combustion
efficiency and low NOx.
Turbo Shot
™
Combustion System

Air is precisely drawn through
the combustion control port
and exhausted through plastic
pipe. Controlling the airflow
through the heater enhances
and regulates the combustion
process. In standby mode, the
combustion control
port restricts air circulation
through the heater.
Power Venting

Provides more venting
flexibility and savings.
A new quiet blower allows
exhaust venting through the
roof or sidewall with plastic
pipe such as PVC, CPVC, and
ABS. Allowable vent lengths
of up to 100 equivalent feet
make installation easy in
any situation. BTF-80 is a
Category 3 (positive pressure
non-condensing) appliance.
