Features
Ultra Condensing Efficiency • Navien's condensing technology provides high efficiency heating • Saves more money and energy than traditional water heaters and other boilers.
Two Stainless Steel Heat Exchangers • Reduces minerals deposits. • High resistance to corrosion and erosion means longer life expectancy.
Low NOx Emissions (less than or equal to 20ppm) • Newly designed metal fiber burner delivers a consistent gas/air mixture, improving combustion efficiency. • Less production of greenhouse gases and acid rain. • Complies with strict SCAQMD 1146.2 NOx emissions standards.
2" CPVC, PVC, Polyprophylene Venting Up To 60 feet • 2" venting option allows a flue to be pulled through existing vents. • 3" vents can be used for up to 150 feet with 2" x 3" adapters.
Field Convertible • NHB heaters allow for easy convertibility from natural gas to liquid propane.
Powerful Anti-Freeze System • The built-in Control System was designed to keep the unit frost free in winter conditions.
Hydronic Heating Benefits • Economical, clean, silent, and comfortable
Utilizes Existing 1/2" Gas Line
• Negative Pressure Gas Valve with dual venturi operation allows better adaptability in low gas pressure applications. • NHB boilers can be installed on 1/2" gas lines for up to 24'
Cascade multiple units in parallel for larger applications. Everything is included in the box. NHB-55 boilers that ship from GadgetsGo are the latest version, which have Navien's Ready-Link cascading system. • Built-in controls for easily configuring the settings for a multi-unit, cascading system. • No extra control boards are required, so your installation cost are lower. • Easily wire together units and set one boiler as parent and one as child. • Up to 16 units can be linked in one group. Unlimited groups can be cascaded. Cascading creates redundancy to ensure hot water availability. • NHB-series boilers can be installed on a wall, and have a compact, small form factor. This allows for a multi-unit installation in a smaller area. • Popular applications: Hotels, restaurants, schools, hospitals, health centers, beauty shops, and more.
