Field Controls 46245703 Venter
The Field Controls 46245703 (Model PVG-600) is a high-performance 115Vac power venter designed for effective sidewall venting of gas-fired furnaces, boilers, and water heaters. As a veteran-grade solution for gas applications, this unit is engineered to handle systems with a total input firing rate of up to 400,000 BTU/hr, maintaining 100% negative pressure within the vent pipe for maximum safety. The PVG-600 features a 5-inch inlet and a factory-installed pressure switch and post-purge control, ensuring all residual combustion gases are cleared after the heating cycle. This indoor-mounted gas venter allows contractors to utilize standard galvanized pipe instead of expensive stainless steel, significantly reducing material costs while providing a reliable alternative to traditional chimney venting.
Key Benefits:
- Broad Compatibility: Fully compatible with 24 VAC controlled gas appliances and can be used to co-vent 30 millivolt residential water heaters.
- Cost-Effective Installation: Engineered for sidewall venting, eliminating the need for vertical chimney runs and high-cost vent materials.
- Integrated Safety Controls: Includes a pre-wired 24V relay/timer and air-proving switch to ensure a safe draft is established before burner ignition.
- Flexible Mounting: The motor shaft must be installed horizontally, but the outlet can be oriented at any angle to meet specific mechanical room layouts.
- Robust Performance: Operates at 3000 RPM with thermal protection to handle high-demand residential and light commercial gas systems.
Common Questions:
Can the PVG-600 replace other brands?
Yes, the Field Controls PVG-600 is an industry-standard replacement for Tjernlund HSUL-1, HST-1, and HS-1 models in similar gas applications.
What additional components are required?
While the controls are built-in, a vent hood is required for the exterior termination, and a barometric draft control (such as the MG-1) is necessary for appliances without a built-in draft hood.
How do I size this unit?
Sizing is based on the total BTU/hr input and the equivalent length of the vent pipe. Ensure the 5" inlet matches your flue requirements and does not exceed the maximum equivalent feet specified in the PVG series manual.
