ARMOR offers 5 venting
options and tremendous
flexibility for placement of
units within the building,
because it permits direct-vent
air intake and exhaust runs
up to 100 equivalent feet using either PVC,
CPVC, Polypropylene or AL29-4C stainless
steel vent pipe. Intake and exhaust runs
can terminate horizontally through a
sidewall or vertically through the roof.

LONG-LASTING “LIFE CYCLE” EFFICIENCY
In a standard tank-type water heater, lime scale builds up over time on important heat transfer surfaces, insulating the
water from the heat source. This buildup in the bottom of the tank and around the flue tubes can cause tank-type heaters to
fail in as little as 2-3 years. This decreases thermal efficiency and increases operating cost. Just 1/4" of lime scale in the
tank can increase operating costs as much as 25%!
ARMOR’s “Better Idea” concept eliminates the impact of lime scale, maintaining a high-rated thermal efficiency and low
operating cost throughout its long life cycle.
The chart below illustrates how ARMOR is a better way, delivering true “life cycle efficiency” compared to standard tank-type
units.
