Electric Commercial Water Heaters
Available in 12, 20, 30, and 40 Gallon Tank-Type Models
3 KW thru 36 KW
Electric Commercial Water Heaters are suitable for general commercial hot water applications and are also ideal for point-of-use installations. Small volume ASME models are designed to meet engineering specifications.
Construction Features:
• System Sentinel
immersion thermostat models employ an element diagnostic panel, utilizing light emitting diodes (L.E.D.), corre­sponding to the number and location of each heating element. This system monitors the on-off function of the electric heating elements.
• Long life ASME tank design
proprietary steel formulation with high temperature porcelain enamel to maximize corrosion resistance resulting in a superior tank design.
• LIFEGUARD heating elements
separate screw-in type elements feature a stainless steel outer sheath of INCO-LOY 840, 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 maximum recovery efficiency (98%) and are easily changed by simply screwing new ones into the tank. LIFEGU
ARD elements feature
a three (3) year limited warranty.
• Full port, full flow brass drain valve
• Minimal heat loss design
85% of the tank surface area on all Rheem-Ruud Commercial Electric products are insulated with 2-1/2" of rigid polyurethane foam insulation providing superior insulating qualities. Unlike other designs, Rheem-Ruud Commercial Electrics can achieve 85% because of the unique compact layout of the heating elements. This results
in heat losses less than the energy used by a 75 watt light bulb during a 48 hour standby period!
Certifications and Ratings:
• Efficiency –
in accordance with ANSI test procedures, these models tested below the maximum allowable standby loss levels of ASHRAE Standard 90.1b-2001 (Part of the Federally mandated Energy Policy Act (EPact)). Also exceeds energy efficiency codes of all states including California Energy Commission (CEC).
• Safety and construction
These products are design certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to meet UL standard 1453 as electric booster and commercial storage tank water heaters. All models are North Carolina and Massachusetts code compliant.
CERTIFIED FOR A
160 PSI MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE.
• ASME construction –
standard on E12A, E20A, E30A, and E40A models.

• 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 operating. An unlit L.E.D. pinpoints the exact location of a non­functioning element, making element operation diagnosis simple and positive.
