Stainless Steel 6 Legs | Rheem 6KW THRU 18 KW specification

Construction Features

GLASS LINED STORAGE TANK – Heavy duty steel tank protects with double coating of exclusive Rheemglas® to resist the corrosive action of hot water. Designed for 150 PSI working pressure. Each tank is supplied with cleanout and two factory installed magnesium anode rods for maximum cathodic protection.

WATER CONNECTIONS – Hot outlet and cold inlet are 1-1/4" NPS brass nipples which prevent excessive turbulence of heated water and result in optimum tank draw.

HEAVY INSULATION – An effective blanket of insulation completely surrounds tanks to limit heat loss and assure high operating efficiency.

STAINLESS STEEL DOOR AND CONTROL PANEL – Ideal for food service

applications.

HEATING ELEMENTS – Separate elements are of the screw-in type and are made of top quality Nichrome® embedded in magnesium oxide sealed in a tinned copper tube to afford corrosion resistance and long life.

AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL – Water temperature is maintained

by an external easily adjustable thermostat starting with an OFF position and ranging from 100°F to 180°F (38°C to 82°C) that insure instant power shut off at the selected temperature.

Over temperature protection is provided by an immersion high temperature limit control, factory set at 200°F (93°C).

MAGNETIC CONTRACTORS – All models equipped with contractors, factory wired for simplicity of installation and economical maintenance throughout life of unit.

240 VOLT CONTROL CIRCUIT – all units are furnished with a 240 volt control circuit. All controls (thermostats, high temperature limit, etc.) are operated off of this basic 240 volt control circuit.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS – Pre-wired, accessible control box with knock-outs on the side in size selections to match the Canadian Electrical Code. Sizes range from 1/2" to 2". New terminal block will accept both copper and aluminum wire.

STANDARD EQUIPMENT ASME T&P RELIEF VALVE – This is a double safety valve

that relieves when temperature or pressure becomes excessive.

STAINLESS STEEL 6" LEGS

SYSTEM SENTINEL™ – An element diagnostic panel, utilizing light emitting diodes (LED) corresponding to the number and location of each heating element are energized when the electric elements are operating. An unlit LED pinpoints the exact location of a non-functioning element, making element operation diagnosis simple and positive.

Optional Equipment

ELEMENT FUSING – In addition to all the above construction features, there is internal fusing available that protects all elements, magnetic contractors, thermostats and internal wiring circuits.

For optional fusing, suffix “F” should be added to the model number. Ex. EG10CF-12KW
