Navien NHW-A non-condensing tankless water heater with ComfortFlow
Navien’s NHW-A non-condensing tankless water heater is available in two configurations: NHW-AI for interior installations and NHW-AE for exterior installations. Both the NHW-AI and NHW-AE are offered in 160,000 Btu/h, 180,000 Btu/h and 199,900 Btu/h sizes in either natural gas or liquid propane fuel operation. NHW-A is the only non-condensing tankless water heater to feature the ComfortFlow recirculation pump and buffer tank originally introduced in the NPE-A condensing tankless water heater in 2012.
