The unit’s lightweight design and top and side connection options offer versatility and ease of installation in a variety of indoor settings, the press release said.
“The launch of the NWP500 Series perfectly reflects Navien’s ongoing commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility,” said TH Kim, CEO at Navien. “We designed this product to not only deliver outstanding performance and convenience in everyday life, but also to contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable future for the communities we serve.”
