Outstanding energy savings, easy operation and stylish design Knight is recognized for its reliable, proven performance and high quality standards. Its award winning design assures contractors and homeowners peace of mind and long term savings in operating costs. State-of-the-Art Modulating Combustion System Fully Modulating Burner with 5:1 Turndown The Smart System™ allows fully modulating combustion with 5:1 turndown. The burner can fire as low as 20% of maximum input and modulate the firing rate up to 100% as demand increases. A woven stainless steel mesh enclosed burner tube fires in a 360° pattern along the entire length of the primary heat exchanger.
Advanced Negative Regulation Technology Knight safely and reliably operates with supply gas pressures as low as 4 inches water column. Plus “Neg/Reg” technology automatically adjusts gas pressure to ensure the correct volume of fuel and air entering the burner. Direct-Spark Ignition With each call for heat, two electrodes ignite the fuel/air mixture. A third electrode then senses for flame. The Smart System™ will generate a soft lockout and display a fault if ignition does not occur.
Two-in-One Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger A primary heat exchanger combined with a secondary heat exchanger captures flue gas heat and condenses to utilize available latent energy. The stainless steel, pH-tolerant design features a weld-sealed assembly with no O-rings or gaskets and does not require special glycol. ASME Section IV approved and stamped.
FEATURES & BENEFITS • 95% DOE AFUE Efficiency, ENERGY STAR Most Efficient Recognition • Modulating Burner with 5:1 Turndown, Direct-Spark Ignition, Low-NOx Operation • ASME Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger: 30 psi ASME Relief Valve • Vertical & Horizontal Direct-Vent up to 100 feet • Smart System Control • 12-Year Limited Warranty (See Warranty for Details)
Field Connection Versatility User-friendly terminal strip allows for 44 low-voltage field connections. Four-line voltage connections supply power to the unit and up to three pumps operated by the Smart System™.

Canplas makes grease management easy to handle Building on a field proven approach to grease management.
Dynamic Inlet Baffle Pull-push action opens and closes the baffle providing access for inspection and cleaning. The handle can also be extended for deeper below grade installations ensuring that accessibility is maintained.
Riser Extensions There are often applications where deeper burial of the interceptor is needed. The XL ‘Cut to length’ riser extension is supplied with an additional frame and interfaces directly with the tank.
Integrated Flow Control Mounted on the front section of the baffle, the internal flow control plate moves away from the inlet pipe giving opportunity for visual inspection and cleaning as required.
Factory Plumbed 3-Way Outlets The Endura XL models feature three pre-plumbed outlet options for straight through or side outlet drainage connections.
Solids Retention Area Passing over the ramp, any solids or debris separate by gravity into the defined solids retention area. This significantly reduces the likelihood of grease-laden particles from exiting the interceptor.

Outlet Well Features With the FOG and solids having been effectively separated, the waste water leaves the tank via the uniquely enclosed outlet well, the effluent being discharged to the downstream drain through one of three pre-plumbed tank outlets.
Features & Benefits • Remote pump capable – simple on-site install • Tank uniquely designed to resist floatation • Integrated tie down points • Load rated dual access covers – exceed 20,000lbs loading • Packaging can be used as template for layout and excavation

The definition of ‘lead free’ has changed The updated CSA standards state that, fittings intended to convey or dispense water for human consumption through drinking or cooking should not contain a weighted average lead content in excess of 0.25% when evaluated in accordance with the test method in NSF/ANSI 372.
How Are Boshart’s No-Lead Products Identified? Low-Lead For products that do have, or could potentially have small amounts of lead in the alloy or the coating. For example zinc/galvanized plated products, all no lead brass and bronze products.
Boshart is committed to expanding their lead-free product line and have created two types of no-lead logos for easy identification of these products.
No-Lead Logos – Product Certified to <0.25% LEAD
Lead-Free For products that DO NOT have any lead content at all. For example all no lead stainless steel, plastic, cast iron items.
Labels for product that are 3rd party certified to the <0.25% Pb by weighted average by an ANSI accredited laboratory will have additional information located on the labels, which identifies the certification body used. Most no-lead labels can also be identified by the GREEN or BLACK bar running through the part number / qty. Remember: There is no industry standard for product identification, and is unlikely in the future. A wide range of no-lead product markings are being used today so it’s important to check these labels.
