AO SMITH GCR50 (NAT GAS) WATER HEATER

Description

The ProLine® 400/401 Series gas water heater is designed to deliver an economical performance that can lower your energy bills and also provide long-lasting value.

Featuring a 50-gallon tank and a 40,000 BTU gas burner, the GCR-50 Standard Vent delivers a first hour rating of 88 gallons and a recovery rate of 41 gallons per hour. With an 0.62 Energy Factor, this water heater is not ENERGY STAR® qualified. It carries a 6-year limited tank warranty, and meets Low NOx emission requirements.

Features:
INTELLIGENT CONTROL LOGIC
The internal microprocessor provides enhanced operating parameters and tighter differentials for precise sensing and faster heating response to optimize performance.
Uses a thermopile to generate the power needed to operate the electronic gas control without requiring an external power source.
The electronic gas control incorporates an LED status indicator that monitors system operation and service diagnostics.
*Not available on 60,000 BTU input models (GCRX-50 and GCRX-55).
GREEN CHOICE GAS BURNER
Patented eco-friendly burner design reduces NOx emissions by up to 33% and complies with Low- NOx emission requirements of less than 40 ng/J.
DYNACLEAN DIFFUSER DIP TUBE
Reduces lime and sediment buildup and maximizes hot water output. Made from long-lasting PEX cross-linked polymer.
COREGARD ANODE ROD
Our anode rods have a stainless steel core that extends the life of the anode rod allowing superior tank protection far longer than standard anode rods.
PUSH-BUTTON PIEZO IGNITOR
Makes lighting the pilot fast and easy with one hand push-button spark ignition.
HEAT TRAP NIPPLES
Factory-installed for faster installation.
BLUE DIAMOND GLASS COATING
Provides superior corrosion resistance compared to industry standard glass lining.
ENHANCED FLOW BRASS DRAIN VALVE
Our residential water heaters have a solid brass, tamper resistant, enhanced flow, ball type, drain valve.
Uses a standard female hose fitting that allows for fast and easy draining during maintenance.
Designed for easy operation, this valve includes an integral screwdriver slot that features a 1/4 turn (open/close) radius, which not only permits full straight-through water flow but also a quick and positive shut off.
CODE COMPLIANCE
Meets UBC, CEC and HUD National Codes.
