SURFACE MOUNTED ELECTRIC TANK-TYPE
WATER HEATERS 9 KW THRU 36 KW
RHEEM-RUUD line of commercial electric
water heaters come in a broader range of
models. Our completely redesigned single panel
control center with hinged door features ready
access to all controls and elements. With single
or three phase operation, these units provide the
most versatile and dependable operation we’ve
ever offered in a commercial electric water
heater.

CAPACITIES
Thick, R-Foam® insulation completely surrounds
the tank, maximizing heat retention while improv-
ing energy costs.
208, 240,
AND 600
VOLTAGES
Features the Lifeguard® high-efficiency stainless-
steel clad elements for long element life and
performance.
Seven different inputs from 9 KW to 36 KW to
meet most commercial and industrial needs.
Model Applications
In addition to being suitable for general commer-
cial hot water applications, these units are also
ideal for point-of-use installations, eliminating
costly temperature loss in long piping runs. A
single unit can be used as a booster heater to
satisfy the hot water requirements of commercial
dishwashers. A single temperature storage unit,
when installed with a mixing valve, will supply
two temperatures in food service establishments.
For larger volume hot water requirements, 2, 3 or
4 units can be parallel manifolded, using optional
factory kits.

Energy Information
Rheemglas® commercial electric water heaters are quality engineered to provide the maximum amount of hot
water available from storage capacity of the tank and energy input of heating elements. Surface mounted
thermostat models provide water from 120°F to 160°F (50°C to 71°C). Detailed Engineering Information for
208, 240 and 600 volt models with single or three phase operation will be found in Table A, B or C.
These units have been tested according to procedures specified by CSA and meet or exceed the energy
efficiency requirements of ASHRAE Standard 90.1b 1992 requirements for energy conservation.

SYSTEM SENTINEL – All models
employ a diagnostic panel utilizing light
emitting diodes (L.E.D.), corresponding
to the number and location of each
heating element. L.E.D.’s are energized
when the electric elements are operat-
ing. An unlit L.E.D. pinpoints the exact
location of a non-functioning element,
making element operation diagnosis
simple and positive.
