Design and Installation Notes
The unit’s compact footprint and standard connections simplify installation in retrofit and new construction applications. Atmospheric venting requires a proper vertical flue and adequate combustion air. Installation must comply with local gas, plumbing, and mechanical codes. The model includes a factory-installed temperature and pressure relief valve and meets low-NOx emissions standards where required.
Contractor Use Case
The PROG40S-40N-RH62 is a practical solution for residential installations where a moderate hot water load is anticipated. Its standard venting and gas input rating make it compatible with existing infrastructure in many retrofit projects. The electronic gas control and self-diagnostic capabilities assist in post-installation service and troubleshooting.
