Field Control SWG-4HDS Stainless Steel Power Venter

Description

The Field Control SWG-4HDS Stainless Steel Power Venter is a reliable and efficient option for venting the combustion gases from gas-fired appliances like furnaces, boilers, and water heaters. Here’s a breakdown of its key features and functionality:

Function:

• Safely removes combustion gases: Utilizes a powerful motor and blower to pull harmful gases like carbon monoxide out of the building through a vent pipe mounted on the exterior wall.
• Maintains negative pressure: Creates a slight vacuum in the flue pipe, ensuring gases are constantly drawn out and preventing their backflow into the living space.
• Improves ventilation and efficiency: Enhances air circulation and promotes optimal combustion for the appliance, leading to cleaner burning and potentially lower energy costs.
• Complies with safety standards: ETL and cETL listed for safe and reliable operation with all LP gas, natural gas, or oil-fired heating equipment.

Key Features:

• 170,000 BTU capacity: Suitable for a wide range of appliance sizes and heating outputs.
• 4-inch stainless steel vent hood: Durable and corrosion-resistant for long-lasting performance.
• Easy installation: Mounts on the exterior wall and connects to the flue pipe and electrical supply.
• Quiet operation: Minimizes noise disturbance for living spaces.
• 100% negative pressure design: Offers maximum safety and eliminates the need for expensive stainless steel vent pipes in most cases.
• Standard galvanized pipes can be used: Cost-effective alternative to stainless steel vent pipes in many applications.
• No need to seal vent pipe joints: Saves time and installation costs.
• Significantly longer vent lengths possible: Compared to positive pressure venting systems.
• Recommended by major appliance manufacturers: Ensures compatibility and reliability with popular heating equipment brands.

Applications:

• Residential and commercial heating systems (furnaces, boilers)
• Water heaters
• Other gas-fired appliances like fireplaces and ranges

Things to Consider:

• Appliance compatibility: Ensure the SWG-4HDS’s BTU capacity and venting pressure ratings match the requirements of your specific appliance.
• Vent pipe installation: Requires proper routing and termination according to local building codes and safety regulations.
• Professional installation recommended: While DIY installation is possible for experienced individuals, consulting a qualified HVAC technician is highly recommended for optimal performance and safety when dealing with gas lines and ventilation systems.

Overall, the Field Control SWG-4HDS Stainless Steel Power Venter is a popular and reliable choice for safe and efficient gas appliance venting. Its powerful performance, durable construction, ease of installation, and numerous safety features make it a valuable addition to various residential and commercial heating systems.
