State ProLine XE 75 Gal Power Vent Water Heater, Low NOx, Natural Gas

A residential 75-gallon natural gas tank water heater with a built-in blower, so it vents through a sidewall or roof with plastic pipe instead of a chimney. A 76,000 BTU/h Low NOx burner and a 116-gallon first hour rating suit large households with heavy morning demand.

The power vent blower has an outlet that rotates to three positions and accepts 3 in. or 4 in. PVC, CPVC or PP pipe, reaching roughly 50 equivalent feet on 3 in. and about 125 equivalent feet on 4 in. That reach makes it a practical choice for interior utility rooms and replacements where a masonry flue is not available. Water hookup is through 3/4 in. NPT top connections fitted with heat-trap nipples, and the unit runs on a standard 120V circuit drawing about 5A.

Inside, a Blue Diamond glass lining, a stainless CoreGard anode and a DynaClean self-cleaning dip tube help limit corrosion and sediment. Factory side taps make it simpler to pipe a recirculation loop or a combination space heating and domestic hot water system where local code permits. Ignition is by an electronic hot surface igniter with automatic pilot relight, and the rated UEF is 0.69.
