Selection depends on required recovery rate and available space.
Are TRITON water heaters compliant with Low NOx regulations?
Yes, all TRITON commercial gas water heaters listed in the current catalog feature Low NOx compliant burners. This makes them suitable for jurisdictions with strict nitrogen oxide emission limits, such as California. The Low NOx designation is indicated in the product specifications. However, compliance with specific local air quality management district rules should be verified for each installation, as requirements can vary by region and application.
What fuel types are available for TRITON commercial water heaters?
TRITON commercial gas water heaters are available in both natural gas and liquid propane configurations. For example, SKU 830H03 and 830H11 are natural gas models, while SKU 830H10 and 830H04 are liquid propane models. The fuel type affects input rating, recovery rate, and gas supply requirements. Buyers should confirm the available fuel at the installation site and select the corresponding model. Conversion between fuel types is not typically supported and would require factory-approved kits.
What certifications do TRITON water heaters carry?
TRITON commercial gas water heaters carry certifications such as UL Classified and CSA listings for Canada and the United States. For instance, SKU 830H01 and 830H07 are UL Classified, while SKU 830H03 and SKU 830H11 are listed to Canada CSA standards. SKU 830H12 and SKU 830H08 carry US CSA (Star) certification.

Always check the specific product documentation for the exact certification marks and any local code acceptance requirements.
What is the recovery rate of the 100-gallon TRITON water heater?
The 100-gallon nominal capacity TRITON water heaters have different recovery rates depending on the model and temperature rise. SKU 830H11 has a recovery rate of 411 gph at 140°F rise. SKU 830H12 has a recovery rate of 640 gph at 90°F rise and a maximum recovery flow of 1,439 gph at a lower temperature rise.
