Water Heaters
TM
Designed for use as a recovery heater having its own storage tank. Available in
upright standard models (DEN) and lowboy models (DEL).
GLASSLINED TANK
glass specially designed by A. O. Smith for water heater use.
- Thirteen sizes; 6 thru 119 gallon capacity. Tank interior is coated with
ELEMENTS - Zinc plated copper sheaths for longer life. Medium watt density means lower surface
temperature to minimize scale build-up and more surface to heat water. Element sizes from 1.5 to 6 KW.
Maximum input 12 KW (see chart on back).
STANDARD VOLTAGES - 120, 277 single phase and 208, 240 and 480V unbalanced three-phase
delta; easily converted to single-phase at terminal block (except 208V with 6000 watt elements).
Single element heater, single-phase only.
TERMINAL BLOCK - Factory-installed. Just bring the service to heater and connect to block.
Terminal block not supplied on 120V & 277 volt models. (No junction box on DEL6-20)
CONTROLS - Temperature control (adjustable through arange of 110° to 170°F on single element
and 120° to 180°F on dual element) and manual reset high temperature cutoff per element (dual
element models). Factory-wired for non-simultaneous operation; easily converted to
simultaneous element operation (three phase models only).

Recovery capacities at 100° F rise equal: for non-simultaneous element operation = 4.1 gal. x kW of one element; for simultaneo us element operation = 4.1 gal. x 2/3 kW of both elements. For other rises multiply
element kW as previously explained by 410 and divide by temperature rise. Full load current for single phase = total watts :- voltage.
