HELICAL INTERNAL HEAT EXCHANGER
• Spiral heat exchanger keeps hot combustion
gases in the tank longer to lengthen the heat
transfer cycle
• Positioned in the center of the tank for more
even heat distribution
• Operates at 90% thermal efficiency, which
saves money on operating costs compared to
a standard 78% efficient gas water heater
POWER VENT DESIGN
• Combined vertical and horizontal runs
terminating through an outside wall. Vents
using PVC, CPVC, or polypropylene pipe.
Canadian installations require ULC S636
approved pipe for venting.
• 2” pipe, vents up to 25 equivalent feet
• 3” pipe, vents up to 65 equivalent feet
• 4” pipe, vents up to 128 equivalent feet
MODULAR BLOWER
• Equipped with 120 volt, 60 Hz electrical
system (rating 5 amps or less), 6-foot cord
with standard 3-prong connector
• 2” PVC pipe, elbows and condensate drain
supplied to connect heat exchanger outlet
to blower
SIDE-MOUNTED HOT AND COLD
RECIRCULATING TAPS
• Allows Vertex to be installed as part of
combination space heating/water heating
applications or any system requiring a
recirculating hot water loop, including radiant
floor heating

VERTEX
™
90% THERMAL EFFICIENCY
VERSATILE POWER VENT DESIGN
Residential Gas
Water Heaters
Today’s homes demand more hot water than ever before, and the 90% efficient Vertex
™
power
vent gas water heater offers unprecedented levels of performance to meet the need. The
50-gallon Vertex delivers more hot water than a standard 75-gallon atmospheric gas water
heater. In fact, the fully condensing Vertex design is so advanced, it can deliver “continuous hot
water for shower after shower”at a constant flow of over 3 gallons per minute.* Yet Vertex is
easy to install, with height, diameter and installation requirements similar to standard power
vent units.
* Continuous hot water based on 3.07 GPM continuous
flow with a 65°F inlet water temperature, 110°F outlet
temperature, and a unit installed per the manufacturer’s
instructions.
