    • The Conservationist® BPD-80 tank-type commercial gas water heater is intended for applications such as small office buildings and duplex apartment homes. The BPD-80 features a power direct vent design with a factory-installed blower. The blower permits sealed combustion direct vent operation with separate venting and air intake runs from outside the structure. The BPD-80 offers installation versatility by allowing venting and intake runs up to 50 feet, using 3" Schedule 40 PVC pipe. The power direct-vent design also eliminates the potential for performance and safety problems caused by negative air pressure, a problem found in many commercial applications with inadequate indoor ventilation.
