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 factory installed anode rods or cathodic protection.

WATER CONNECTIONS – Hot outlet and cold inlet are 1-1/2" NPS brass nipples which pre- vent excessive turbulence of heated water and result in optimum tank draw.

R-FOAM®INSULATION – A rigid polyurethane foam insulation provides superior insulating qualities and improves efficiency. Exceeds R-16 insulation factor. Our patented process of injecting R-Foam directly into the insu- lating cavity adds additional durability and tough- ness to the heater jacket. Fiberglass insulation guards against heat loss in the heating element compartment, and provides easy service access.

SINGLE PANEL CONTROL BOX – With hinged door, provides immediate access to all electrical components and elements.

HEATING ELEMENTS – Separate screw-in type LIFEGUARD® elements on 50, 85 and 120 gallon models feature a stainless steel outer sheath of INCO-LOY®800, surrounding a Nichrome wire filament, to resist water chemical corrosion and burn-out even in air or sediment…

for long element life and long life performance. Elements are directly immersed in the water for efficient transfer of heat, and are easily changed by simply screwing new ones into the tank.

TERMINAL BLOCK – All models are equipped with CSA listed terminal blocks for simplicity of installation. This new terminal block will accept either copper or aluminum field connect wire.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS – Pre-wired, accessible control box with multiple knock-outs on top and side in size selections to match the Canadian Electrical Code. Sizes range from 1/2" to 2". A grounding screw is provided for attaching an equipment grounding conductor.

AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL – Temperature is maintained by a

surface mounted thermostat adjustable to provide water 120°F to 160°F (50°C to 71°C) that insure instant shut off at the selected temperature for safety and economy of operation. Over tempera- ture protection is provided by surface mounted high temperature limit controls, one per heating element, factory set at 190°F (88°C).

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

that relieves when temperature or pressure becomes excessive.
