Noritz America, as part of an ongoing program to enhance its entire product offering in 2025, recently introduced an upgraded version of its flagship commercial unit, the NCC199CDV Pro Condensing Tankless Water Heater. Engineered for a wide range of heavy-duty commercial applications, the new ENERGY STAR-rated NCC199 CDV Pro incorporates several new, installer- and end-user-friendly features, while retaining an industry-best, 10-year warranty on its dual stainless steel heat exchangers.
The six new features of the NCC199CDV Pro include:
- Greater energy efficiency: The upgraded NCC199CDV Pro offers a Uniform Energy Factor (UEF) of 0.98, an improvement from the predecessor line’s 0.96 UEF. That enhancement translates into even fewer harmful emissions from the product’s high-efficiency condensing combustion process.
- Bluetooth connectivity: Bluetooth connectivity delivers greater control over water heater functionality, including timers and temperature control. But this connectivity also allows the installer to set up the heater more quickly and easily from a smartphone.
- Built-in display of key performance metrics: All NCC199CDV Pro models include a display built into the bottom of the front panel, showing the water heater’s current temperature, operational status and error codes.
- Easy connection of up to six units: With Noritz’s Quick Connect PRO technology, up to six NCC199CDV Pro units can be connected as a single system. Previously, only two units could be combined.
- Common venting for up to 12 units: Up to 12 units in a single application can be common-vented for a more attractive installation that minimizes wall penetrations. Previously, only six NCC199CDVs could be vented together.
- Quick conversion to liquid propane: Natural gas is the default fuel type for all NCC199CDV Pro models. However, each unit is shipped with a gas conversion kit to facilitate quick switching to liquid propane on the job site.
The NCC199CDV Pro is designed as an indoor unit with a power-vented air supply and exhaust for interior applications. However, a special conversion kit can quickly convert the unit to an outdoor system.
Btu/hour inputs range from a low of 12,800 to a high of 199,900, with flow rates from 0.4 to 11.1 gallons per minute. Up to 24 NCC199CDV Pro models can be installed together, creating a turndown ratio of nearly 375 to 1 to accommodate large commercial applications with fluctuating hot-water demands throughout the day.
Measuring 18.1 inches in width x 26.1 inches high x 11.8 inches deep, the new NCC199CDV Pro is somewhat smaller than its predecessor and, at 62 pounds, eight pounds lighter.
Beyond the 10 years of warranty protection for the unit’s two stainless steel heat exchangers, the NCC199CDV Pro offers a five-year warranty on parts and one year for reasonable labor.
