Lochinvar 100166684 PVN050 65ST Specialty Gas Water Heater 62000 Btu/hr 50 Gallon Natural Gas Power Vent Tall Indoor

Product Description

The Lochinvar 100166684 is a PVN Series specialty natural gas water heater designed for commercial and residential indoor installations where dependable hot water delivery is essential. Built for trade professionals including plumbing contractors, mechanical engineers, and HVAC technicians, this unit delivers 62,000 Btu/hr of heating input and a recovery rate of 70 gallons per hour at a 100 degree F temperature rise. That level of output makes it well suited for high-demand applications such as multi-family housing, light commercial facilities, restaurants, and institutional buildings where consistent hot water supply is critical throughout the day. The 50-gallon glass-lined steel tank stores a substantial reserve of heated water, reducing the strain on the heating system during peak usage periods. Glass lining protects the interior of the tank from corrosion, extending service life and maintaining water quality over time. The unit uses hot surface ignition, a proven and reliable ignition method that eliminates the need for a standing pilot light, improving both safety and energy efficiency. Power vent technology allows flexible installation by using a motorized blower to exhaust combustion gases, enabling the unit to be placed away from exterior walls or chimneys. Vent sizes of 3 inches and 4 inches are supported. The gas connection is 1/2 inch and the water connection is 3/4 inch, both standard sizes familiar to any licensed plumber or gas fitter. At a tall profile measuring 24 inches in diameter and 61-1/4 inches in height, this unit fits standard mechanical room configurations. The pressure rating is 150 psi and the energy factor is 0.7, reflecting solid thermal efficiency for a gas-fired storage water heater. This model does not carry an Ultra Low NOx designation, which should be noted for projects in NOx-regulated markets. Natural gas fuel compatibility makes it a cost-effective choice in areas with reliable gas utility service.
