III. Product Rating, Specifications, and Dimensional Data

AMP Water Heaters are condensing, high-efficiency, gas-fired appliances designed for use in direct domestic hot water 

heating systems where supply water temperature does not exceed 190°F.  These water heaters have special coil type 

stainless steel heat exchangers, constructed, tested and stamped per Section IV of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel 

Code, which provide maximum heat transfer and simultaneous protection against flue gas product corrosion.  These 

water heaters are 

not

 designed for use in  space heating systems or swimming pool heating systems.
