Rheem 6 KW - Manual

IMMERSION ELECTRIC TANK-TYPE WATER HEATERS
6 KW THRU 54 KW
RHEEM-RUUD Electric Commercial Water Heaters are
suitable for general commercial hot water applications
and are also ideal for point-of-use installations, eliminat-
ing costly temperature loss in long piping runs. A single
unit can be used as a booster heater to satisfy the hot
water requirements of commercial dishwashers. A single
temperature storage unit, when installed with a mixing
valve, will supply two temperatures in food service
establishments. For larger volume hot water
requirements, 2, 3 or 4 units can be parallel
manifolded, using optional factory kits.
Construction Features:
SYSTEM SENTINEL – An element diagnostic
panel, utilizing light emitting diodes (L.E.D.) correspond-
ing to the number and location of each heating element
are energized when the electric elements are operating.
An unlit L.E.D. pinpoints the exact location of a non-
functioning element, making element operation
diagnosis simple and positive..
R-FOAM ® INSULATION – A rigid ployurethane
foam insulation provides superior insulating qualities,
improves efficiency. Exceeds R-16 insulation factor. Our
patented process of injecting R-Foam directly into the
insulating cavity adds additional durability and toughness
to the heater jacket. Fiberglass insulation guards against
heat loss in the heating element compartment, and
provides easy service access.
LIFEGUARD HEATING ELEMENTS – Separate
screw-in type elements 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.
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 for cathodic
protection.

MODELS
WATER CONNECTIONS – Hot outlet and cold inlet
are 1-1/2" NPS brass nipples which prevent excessive
turbulence of heating water and result in optimum tank
draw.
SINGLE PANEL CONTROL BOX – With hinged
door, provides immediate access to all electrical
components and elements.
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.
