TRITON
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about TRITON from 3G Electric.
What certifications do TRITON commercial gas water heaters carry?
TRITON commercial gas water heaters are certified by AHRI, UL, and CSA (both US and Canada). Specific models may carry UL Classification, US CSA (Star), or Canada CSA depending on the SKU. All units are Low NOx compliant. Buyers should verify the specific certification for their model, as standards vary by region. 3G Electric can provide certification documentation upon request.
What fuel types are available for TRITON water heaters?
TRITON commercial gas water heaters are available in natural gas and liquid propane configurations. Each model is factory-set for a specific fuel type and cannot be field-converted. The fuel type is indicated in the model number (e.g., GHE50SU-100 for natural gas, GHE50SU-100 LP for liquid propane). Ensure the correct fuel type is selected for your installation.
What is the venting requirement for TRITON power-vent water heaters?
All TRITON commercial gas water heaters use power-vent technology, which requires an electric blower to exhaust combustion gases. This allows horizontal venting through a side wall, eliminating the need for a vertical chimney. Venting materials and lengths must comply with the manufacturer's specifications and local codes. 3G Electric recommends consulting the installation manual for vent diameter and maximum run lengths.
What tank capacities and BTU inputs are offered in the TRITON GHE series?
The TRITON GHE series includes nominal tank capacities of 50, 75, and 119 gallons. BTU inputs range from 76,000 to 499,900 BTU. For example, the GHE50SU-76 has a 50-gallon tank and 76,000 BTU input, while the GHE119SU-500A has a 119-gallon tank and 499,900 BTU input. Recovery rates vary; consult the spec sheet for your model.
Are TRITON water heaters suitable for outdoor installation?
TRITON commercial gas water heaters are designed for indoor installation only. They are not weatherproofed for outdoor exposure. The power-vent system requires a protected environment to prevent freezing of condensate lines and electrical components. Install the unit in a mechanical room or enclosed space with adequate ventilation per local codes.
What is the warranty coverage for TRITON commercial gas water heaters?
TRITON commercial gas water heaters typically come with a limited warranty covering the tank and components. Standard terms include a 3-year warranty on the tank and 1 year on parts. Extended warranties may be available through the manufacturer. 3G Electric does not administer warranty claims; buyers should register the product with TRITON after installation.
