The Rheem Power Vent Tank Water Heater 40 Gallon is designed to deliver efficient and reliable hot water for residential use, utilizing a power venting system to enhance performance and installation flexibility. This model combines the capacity of a traditional tank water heater with modern venting technology, making it a versatile choice for homeowners seeking both efficiency and convenience.

Key Features:

• Capacity: 40 Gallons provides ample hot water for medium-sized households, supporting daily needs such as showers, dishwashing, and laundry. Ideal for homes with 2 to 4 people.

• Enhanced Venting Flexibility: Equipped with a power venting system that uses a fan to expel exhaust gases through a horizontal or vertical vent pipe. This allows for more flexible installation options compared to traditional atmospheric venting systems, making it suitable for locations where venting through a roof or chimney is not feasible.

• Improved Venting Efficiency: The power venting system improves the efficiency of the exhaust process, ensuring that the unit operates safely and effectively, even in installations with longer or more complex venting runs.

• High Efficiency: Typically designed to meet or exceed energy efficiency standards, which can help reduce utility bills compared to older, less efficient models.

• Insulation: Features foam insulation around the tank to minimize heat loss and improve overall energy efficiency, keeping hot water ready while reducing standby heat losses.

• Durable Tank: Made with a glass-lined steel tank that resists corrosion and extends the life of the water heater. The tank is also equipped with a magnesium anode rod to further protect against rust and deterioration.

• Compact Design: Designed to fit in a variety of installation spaces, including basements, garages, or utility rooms, with the added flexibility of power venting allowing for more installation options.

• Adjustable Thermostat: Includes a thermostat that allows users to set and maintain the desired water temperature, typically adjustable between 120°F and 160°F, providing comfort and energy savings.

• Easy-to-Use Controls: Simple controls make it easy to adjust settings and monitor the performance of the water heater.

• Flammable Vapor Detection: Equipped with safety features such as a flammable vapor detection sensor that helps prevent accidents in installations near flammable materials.

• Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve: Includes a temperature and pressure relief valve to prevent overheating and excessive pressure build-up, ensuring safe operation.
