- The workhorse for heavy duty hot water supply
- EER certified capacities: 107 gallons/405 liters storage
- EER certified are models with 18 and 30 kW, rated 400/415 Volt, 3 phase power supply
- Meets the standby loss requirements of the U.S. Department of Energy and current edition of AHRAE/IES 90.1.
- Energy efficiency per IEC 60379:2007 is 93.7 %
- Heavy-duty medium watt density elements (three/immersion heater) have incoloy sheathing: provide excellent protection against oxidation and scaling.
- Glass lined tank DRE 120 with 107 gallons storage. Tank interior is coated with glass specially developed by A. O. Smith for water heater use. Tanks rated at 150 PSI (1034 kPa) working pressure
- Fusing protects all elements, thermostats, and internal wiring circuits against excess current flow. Meets National Electrical Code requirements that non-ASME tanks must have internal fusing when current draw exceeds 48 amps. Available as an option on Canadian built heaters.
- Terminal block is factory installed. Just bring the electrical service to the heater and connect to block.
- One temperature control (adjustable through a range of 120° to 181°F) and manual reset high temperature cut-off per element. Thermostat step control may be achieved by varying settings on individual temperature controls. Located behind hinged control compartment door for quick, easy access.
- Surface mounted thermostats
- Simplified circuitry, color coded for ease of service
- Two anode rods for maximum corrosion protection
- Cabinet has bonderized undercoat with baked enamel finish
- Bottom inlet and top outlet openings
- Brass drain valve
- CSA Certified and ASME rated T&P relief valve
- Single panel control box
- EER compliant foam insulation reduces costly heat loss
- UL and cUL listed conversion kits to adjust voltage and kW requirements in the field before and after installation
- ASME 160 psi (1103 kPa) tank construction
- International voltages – 220, 380, 400, 415, 575, and 600 volts, three phase available with Y connected elements
- Manifold kits – for multiple tank installations. Two heaters part # 9003429205, three heaters part # 9003430205 and four heaters part # 9003431205
