* Heaters furnished with standard 240 volt AC, single phase non-simultaneous wiring and 4500 watt heating element.

If heating elements of different wattages than those shown are demanded by zone requirements, they must be specifically requested.

Solaraide models meet all current requirements for solar storage tanks.

The tanks are Rheemglas lined and are designed to operate up to 150 PSI.

SIDE CONNECT

Raised 7" from the bottom, the outlet to the solar collector panel helps prevent scale and sediment from entering and circulating through the solar system.

A special threaded stud is also welded to the tank near the outlet for attachment of tank sensors.

TOP CONNECT

A special threaded stud is also welded to the tank behind the lower cavity opening. Low voltage sensor wire is run from this point inside the jacket and out the top for easy control connection.

These units are designed to meet or exceed ANSI (American National Standards Institute) requirements and have been tested according to D.O.E. test procedures and meet or exceed the energy effi- ciency requirements of NAECA, ASHRAE standard 90, BOCA Code and all state energy effi- ciency performance criteria for energy consuming appliances.

Before purchasing this appliance, read important energy cost and efficiency information available from your supplier.
