Features & Benefits
The tighter the commercial retrofit,
the more you will appreciate how the
Universal’s compact size and multiple
water connections simplify installations.
Choose from 80% thermal efficiency
models that range from 98,000-399,900
Btu/h and have maximum temperature
setting of 180 degrees Fahrenheit.
Space Saver Design
The short heights and narrow jacket
diameters, plus the top, front and rear
water inlets/outlets offer the ultimate in
installation flexibility.

are formed from high chromium stain-
less steel. Each burner assembly slides
out like a drawer for quick inspection
and maintenance.

Factory installed brass drain valve
allows for faster draining and servicing.
Direct Spark-to-Pilot
Ignition System
Energy saving ignition that ignites pilot
only when there is a call for heat.
Altitude Certifications

2,000 feet for LP; with high altitude
certification kit, up to 8,000 feet.
Patented Anode Rods
Anode design utilizes multiple
magnesium rods to ensure corrosion
resistance for a long tank life.
