Arrestor Design - Constructed of 304L stainless steel for
outstanding impact, heat, crack, and corrosion resistance.
304L stainless steel is a non-rusting alloy. Tested in the
harshest simulated environment, and continued to operate
properly over the normal life expectancy of the product. If it
becomes necessary because of an extreme environment,
the system can be easily cleaned using a shop vacuum
and/or compressed air.
3. Resettable Thermal Switch - Proven and reliable
bimetallic switch prevents burner or pilot operation in
case of ongoing flammable vapor burn inside of the
combustion chamber or restricted air flow caused by
lint, dust and/or oil buildup. Allows simplified, quick
and easy service.
4. Proven Burner Design - Used for many years to allow
off-the-shelf replacement if necessary.
5. Low NOx Standard - Efficient and clean combustion on all
models and sizes, meets or exceeds strict California
SCAQMD emission regulations.
6. Standard Thermocouple -
Conventional off-the-shelf replacement
parts for quick service.
7. No Increase in Height or Diameter -
Same compact and efficient dimensions.
8. Pedestal Base - Rugged and durable base allows
easy transport and positioning, corrosion resistant
contact with floor.
9. Controlled Combustion System - Added strength,
lower noise. Assures combustion air is directed through the
ScreenLok

Technology flame arrestor.
10. Maintenance Free - No regular cleaning of air inlet
openings or flame arrestor is required under normal
conditions.
