At Booth #832, PVI will highlight some of its key products, including the Centurion, Brigade, and Conquest gas-fired water heater available up to 2000 MBH, and Durawatt, an electric storage water heater that supports building electrification.
Centurion: Advanced Dynamic Water Heating
Centurion is a high-efficiency, direct-fired domestic water heater designed for maximum performance, longevity, and reliability. Its compact design allows easy installation through a standard 36" doorway, ideal for both retrofit and new construction projects. With up to 99% thermal efficiency and a 1,600-2,000 MBH gas condensing capability, Centurion features a 20:1 turndown ratio and low NOx burner (<20ppm), ensuring peak efficiency with minimal emissions. Centurion's Edge® Controller simplifies operation with a 4.3" touchscreen for setup, diagnostics, and maintenance. O2 Trim combustion controls further enhance efficiency, and multi-unit sequencing allows for up to 16 units to be integrated for large systems.
