National Appliance Energy Conservation Act of 1987 recent amendment
effective January 20, 2004 which supercedes all state and local efficiency
requirements.
■ 2" Non-CFC foam insulation—surrounds the tank surface, saving energy by
retarding loss of heat. (1" on M1 models)
■ Flue baffle—designed to maximize the amount of heat absorbed in the lower
portion of tank. Minimizes air movement in the heater during standby periods to
retard heat loss up the flue.
■ Fully automatic controls—automatic temperature selection at your fingertips.

®
Total Performance System—cold inlet sediment
reducing device. Helps prevent sediment build up in tank. Increases first hour
delivery of hot water while minimizing temperature build up at top of tank.

■ Water Connections—
3
⁄
4" NPT factory installed true dielectric fittings. Extends
water heater life and eases installation (M2XR75 has 1" NPT dielectric waterway
