• Ultra Low NOx (ULN) design for A.O. Smith water heaters with 2" insulation
• Designed for power damper water heater applications
• Status LED to help cut repair time
• Resettable emergency temperature cutoff, so the valve does not have to be replaced after a trip
• Larger pilot flame, intended to reduce callbacks
