DESCRIPTION FEATURES
* This water heater is intended only for use as part of an electric thermal storage or demand response program. This water heater
will not provide adequate hot water unless enrolled in such a program and is activated by your utility company or another program
operator. Please confirm the availability of such a program in your local area before purchasing or installing this product.
Water heaters furnished with standard 240 or 120 volt AC, single phase non-simultaneous wiring. If heating elements of different
wattages than those shown are demanded, they must be specifically requested. For height to top of T&P and heat traps add 3-1/2”
to the height to water connection.
Maximum test pressure: 300 PSI. Maximum working pressure: 150 PSI.
* *Recovery calculations used are based on 4500 watt elements used in non-simultaneous operation.
**Recovery = wattage/2.42 x temp. rise °F.
Example: 4500W = 21 GPH
2.42 x 90°
