The balanced flue design with a side wall vent termination allows installation in locations without a chimney. The sealed combustion chamber and coaxial vent uses fresh air taken from outside rather then pre-heated air from within the home. Quiet, reliable and efficient operation in a quality design: the GSW Direct Vent water heater. Temperature and pressure valve over-flow tubes are not included. History: Direct Vent appliances became popular in the late 1980’s with the introduction of tighter homes in Canada. These airtight homes caused negative air conditions, which could result in naturally drafted appliances exhausting flue gases in the home. The Direct Vent water heater, which offers sealed combustion and a balanced flue design, became an important alternative. Length of Venting: A Direct Vent water heater needs to be within 60” of the outside wall. Features: • Virtually silent operation, because it does not have a blower or a motor. • Uses outside air for combustion rather than air from inside the house; suitable for R2000 homes. • No chimney is required. • Does not require electricity to operate – hot water is always available. • Easy to install flexible co-axial venting that comes in the water heater carton that comes along with silicone and metal bands. • Comes in 40 & 50 gallon models. • Used for combo and space heating applications. • Vent riser available to raise the termination Energy Efficient: Meets the 2004 NRC and energy efficiency requirements and has 2” of CFC-free foam insulation.
