UP TO 96% THERMAL EFFICIENCY,DIRECT VENT

BTH-120
through
BTH-500

The A.O. Smith Cyclone Xi family of products represents the industry’s most technologically
advanced commercial water heaters. The innovative Cyclone Xi design takes performance to
its highest level with efficiencies of 95% and 96%. Models are available from 120,000 BTUs
and now up to 500,000 BTUs. In addition, the Cyclone Xi features an Intelligent Control
System making it the smartest water heater in the industry.
Cyclone Xi provides outstanding hot water output, with dramatic savings on operating costs
compared to units with standard 80% efficiency. A.O. Smith’s leading-edge engineering
delivers conventional power-vent or sealed combustion power direct-vent versatility, low NOx
emissions and excellent space-saving characteristics. Powered anodes, standard on all
Cyclone Xi models, provide superior tank protection for years of trouble free operation.
INTELLIGENT CONTROL SYSTEM WITH LCD DISPLAY
• Exclusive A.O. Smith designed control
• Provides detailed water heater status information
• Precise temperature control
• Built-in diagnostics
• Run histrory information
SUBMERGED COMBUSTION CHAMBER,
WITH HELICAL HEAT EXCHANGER COIL
• Positioned in center of tank, surrounded by water to virtually
eliminate radiant heat loss from chamber
• Spiral heat exchanger keeps hot burner gases swirling, uses centrifugal
force to maximize efficiency of heat transfer to water in tank
• Spiral heat exchanger prevents scale and sediment from forming on
water-side surface, which can reduce energy efficiency over time
POWERED ANODES STANDARD ON ALL MODELS
• Provides long-lasting tank protection in varying water conditions
• Does not require maintenance or inspection
PERMAGLAS® ULTRA COAT™ GLASS LINING
• Exclusive process provides superior protection against corrosion
• Both sides of heat exchanger coil are lined for protection against flue gas
condensate inside coil
MECHANICAL VENTING VERSATILITY
• Conventional power-venting or sealed combustion direct venting
• Vents vertically or through sidewall
• Direct-vent intake and exhaust pipe can terminate separately outside building,
or through single opening, using concentric vent assembly
• Uses inexpensive PVC, CPVC or ABS pipe for intake and exhaust

Approved,

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
1. Condensate Drain – This is a fully condensing water heater and should be located near a drain to permit proper
disposal of condensate.
2. Vent Termination – Exhaust gases of this water heater are less than 140° F. In cold climates water vapor in flue
gases will condense into a cloud of vapor where the vent exits the building. This vapor can gradually discolor exterior
building surfaces. Vent termination should be located where this vapor cloud and potential discoloration are not a
concern. Locating vent termination 6˝ or more from the wall helps vapor from being trapped along a building’s face.
To avoid this problem, the vent can be terminated on the roof. Always locate vent termination above the maximum
snowline, and do not locate vent termination above a walkway.
3 Air Intake – In cold climates, air intake should be located at least three feet from the vent termination of the water
heater and any other appliance vents that discharge moisture-laden air (such as clothes dryers). This will help prevent
freeze-over of the intake screen required to prevent foreign objects from entering the intake pipe. Air intake should be
located above the maximum snowline.
4. Blockage Sensors – The water heater is equipped with sensors to shut it down if blockage of vent or air intake occurs.
A light on the heater’s diagnostic panel will alert service technicians to this problem.
5. Noise – Vent terminal should be located away from bedroom windows or other areas where blower noise will be
objectionable. Avoid venting into corners or confined areas, which will amplify sound. Anchoring intake or vent pipe
to walls or ceilings can cause noise to be transmitted to living areas, and isolation mounts should be used where
anchoring is required.
6 Optional Concentric Vent Kit - Helps to minimize unsightly wall/roof penetrations.

For sealed-combustion direct-vent specification: The BTH-120 - 250 water heater(s) shall be suitable for venting with (3˝ or 4˝) _______ diameter PVC pipe for a
total equivalent distance of (50 ft or 120 ft) ________ feet. [Alternative venting: the heater(s) shall be suitable for sealedcombustion direct venting using a (3˝ or 4˝)
________ diameter PVC exhaust pipe for a total distance of (50 ft or 120 ft) ________ equivalent feet of vent and (50 ft or 120 ft) _______ equivalent feet of intake.]
The BTH-300 - 500 water heater(s) shall be suitable for sealed combustion direct-vent using only 4˝ diameter PVC pipe and 4˝ diameter PVC exhaust pipe for a
total equivalent distance of 70 ft.
Operation of the water heater(s) in a closed system where thermal expansion has not been compensated for (with a properly sized thermal expansion tank) will
void the warranty.
