A.O. Smith GPVH-50 ProMax Power Vent Storage Water Heater

The ProMax® Power-Vent 40 and 50-gallon residential gas water heaters are equipped
with A. O. Smith’s patented C3 Technology® design, and meet Phase II of the ANSI Z21.10.1
standards for flammable vapor ignition resistance. In addition A. O. Smith has engineered
other enhancements into its power-vent design, for easier installation and maximum venting
flexibility. A power-vent water heater provides an alternative to conventional vertical-vent
models, which require the use of a metal vent. They provide a solution to potential venting
problems in replacement applications and offer versatile options for placement
of gas water heaters in residential new construction.
