Rheem-Ruud Eclipse electric commercial water heaters are designed to
provide hot water where applications require moderate quantities. These
units are suited for a wide variety of applications such as retail stores, small
offices or any location where a moderate amount of hot water is required.
Construction Features:
• Composite tank and high density
polyethylene dent and scratch
resistant jacket.
• Models are in two sizes with
capacity of 85 or 105 gallons in
42 total variations.
• Input options are: 12.4, 18 or
24 kW.
• Voltage options are: 208, 240, or
480 VAC in either single phase or
3-phase and 277 VAC in single
phase only.
• Element wattages are 3100,
4500 or 6000 in each of the four
voltages. The elements are low
watt density design (46, 67, 90
watts/sq. in.) with stainless
(Inconel) sheath.
• The four Inconel elements are
spaced on the front along a
vertical line for easy access.
• The power control circuits use 2
surface mounted thermostats and
operate in two stages so that a
lower control thermostat is for the
lower two elements and an upper
control is for the upper two
elements. The lower element will
provide recovery for all needs and
the upper two will kick in addition-
ally for larger demands.
• 170° F maximum delivered
temperature.
• System Sentinel LED indicators
are provided for each element to
show power on.
• A switch is provided in the control
circuit for installation dry fire
protection. See label.
• A temperature and pressure relief
valve is installed on top of the unit.
• Water connections at the top of
the tank are 1" swivel nuts. A
nipple is installed on the outlet
(1" x 3" long). The inlet has a
vacuum valve connected with
a 1 x 1 x 3/4 tee and a 1" close
nipple to the swivel.
• 3/4" full flow drain valve.
• Standards approved to UL 1453
and UL/NSF 005.
Certifications and Ratings:
