Honeywell swg-4hd Sidewall Power Venter 170K Btu 4 in

Product Description

The HONEYWELL swg-4hd is a sidewall power venter designed to mechanically exhaust flue gases from gas-fired heating appliances through an exterior wall. The unit handles a maximum venting capacity of 170000 BTU/h and features a 4-inch inlet and 4-inch outlet, making it suited for mid-to-high input residential and light commercial heating equipment. Licensed HVAC technicians install this venter as part of a Category I or mechanically assisted venting system where conventional natural-draft chimneys are impractical or unavailable.

The swg-4hd is typically applied to gas furnaces, boilers, and water heaters that require induced-draft sidewall venting. It is well suited for retrofit installations in existing structures where running a vertical flue to the roofline is not feasible, as well as new construction applications where sidewall termination is the preferred or code-directed venting method. The 4-inch connection size accommodates common vent pipe diameters used on residential heating equipment up to 170000 BTU/h input.

Key Features

• Maximum venting capacity of 170000 BTU/h accommodates a wide range of residential and light commercial gas appliances
• 4-inch inlet and outlet connections align with standard vent pipe sizing for straightforward integration
• Sidewall power venting eliminates dependence on vertical chimney or B-vent stack
• Motorized draft induction provides positive flue gas removal independent of natural draft conditions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sidewall power venter replacement or new installation component for gas furnaces, boilers, and water heaters requiring mechanically assisted sidewall exhaust venting with a 4-inch vent connection and a maximum appliance input of 170000 BTU/h.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician in accordance with the appliance manufacturer instructions, local mechanical codes, and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off gas supply and disconnect electrical power to the appliance before beginning any venter installation or service work. The sidewall termination point must be located and clearanced per applicable codes to prevent flue gas re-entry into the structure. Do not operate the venter without all vent connections fully secured and sealed.
