NPE-180A2 Features & Benefits

2" PVC venting up to 75 feet

Low exhaust gas temperatures allow use of PVC (including schedule 40 PVC), CPVC, popypropylene (rigid and flexible) and stainless steel venting, saving time and costs.

Vent Installation Detector (VID) for added safety.

Dual Venturi for field gas conversions

Dual Venturi system creates better combustion control and turndown ratio.

Dual stainless steel heat exchangers

for added durability

EZNav™ Multi-line control with built-in intuitive software

1/2" gas pipe capability up to 24'

(subject to local codes). Cuts installation time, no need to install new gas lines for retrofit applications.
