13,000 Watts LP | Vanguard® Commercial-Grade Engine | 7-Year Warranty
The Briggs & Stratton PowerProtect 13kW (Model 040746) is designed for homeowners who demand high output in tight spaces. Featuring the legendary Vanguard® engine and NGMax™ technology for superior natural gas performance, this unit provides the highest rated power output in its class. With a specialized 18-inch setback approval and a front-exhaust design, it offers the ultimate versatility for modern residential installations.
Industry-Leading Features & Performance
Engineered for reliability, the PowerProtect 13kW utilizes Dura-Zen™ coating on its aluminum enclosure to ensure long-lasting corrosion protection. It also features the Eco-Cise™ Weekly Test Mode, which runs a quick 16-second diagnostic to save fuel and minimize noise. For those with high-demand appliances, the generator boasts the best motor-starting capability in the industry (37 kVA), ensuring your AC units and pumps start smoothly every time.
Smallest Footprint Possible
The upright design and front exhaust allow for installation as close as 18 inches to your home. Toolless panel removal makes maintenance faster and easier for service technicians.
NGMax™ Technology
Engineered to deliver more power on natural gas than the competition. It provides convenient hookups for both NG and Liquid Propane without sacrificing performance.
