American Water 100114800 50 Gal Lp Gas Power Vent Water Heater

Product Description

The AMERICAN WATER 100114800 is a 50-gallon liquefied petroleum (LP) gas power vent water heater designed for residential and light commercial hot water supply systems. The PowerFlex power vent configuration uses a motorized blower to exhaust combustion gases horizontally through PVC or CPVC vent pipe, giving installers flexibility in routing that standard atmospheric vent units cannot provide. This unit is designed for plumbing professionals and licensed gas fitters working on new construction or replacement installations where direct vertical venting is not practical.

This water heater is suited for residential applications where LP gas is the available fuel source and a conventional flue chase is not available or accessible. The power vent design allows the vent termination to exit through a side wall, making it a practical choice for basements, utility rooms, and mechanical spaces without overhead clearance for a vertical flue. It carries the model designation AMH-PVG62-50T50-PVS as referenced in supplier documentation.

Compatibility
