Heavy Duty Electric
Commercial Water Heaters
Available in 50, 85 and 120 Gallon Tank-Type Models
ꢀ
6 KW thru 81 KW
Rheem-Ruud Electric Commercial Water Heaters are suitable for general commercial
hot water applications and are also ideal for point-of-use installations. A single unit can
be used as a booster heater to satisfy the hot water requirements of commercial dish-
washers. A single temperature storage unit, when installed with a mixing valve, will
supply two temperatures in food service establishments.
Construction Features:
• System Sentinel –
Elements are directly immersed in the
water for maximum recovery efficiency
(98%) and are easily changed by sim-
ply screwing new ones into the tank.
LIFEGUARD elements feature a three
(3) year limited warranty.
immersion thermostat models employ
an element diagnostic panel, utilizing
light emitting diodes (L.E.D.), corre-
sponding to the number and location
of each heating element. This system
monitors the on-off function of the
electric heating elements.
• Full port, full flow brass drain
valve
• Long life ASME tank design –
proprietary steel formulation with
high temperature porcelain enamel to
maximize corrosion resistance result-
ing in a superior tank design.
• Minimal heat loss design –
85% of the tank surface area on all
Rheem-Ruud Commercial Electric
products are insulated with 3" 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 100 watt light bulb during
a 48 hour standby period!
• LIFEGUARD heating elements –
separate screw-in type elements fea-
ture 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.

• Fuse type – the “G” in the model number represents Class G fuses.
• Thermostat staging – E models (Immersion thermostat) 24 kW and above (18 kW for 208V), may be ordered
with additional thermostat(s) for staging. Add “S” after fuse type designation. Recommended on 81kW models.
Example: E85-36-G becomes E85-36-GS.
• ASME construction – E models (Immersion Thermostat) may be ordered with ASME certified construction.
Add “A” after capacity designation. Example: E85-36-G becomes E85A-36-G.
• UL Sanitation compliance – all models are UL Sanitation (NSF5) compliant when equipped with the optional
ring seal kits. E(S)50 – AS38355, E(S)85 – AS38356, E(S)120 – AS38357.
• Solid state low water cut-off – E models (Immersion Thermostat) may be ordered with probe type cut-off for

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 elec-
tric elements are operating. An unlit
L.E.D. pinpoints the exact location of
a non-functioning element, making
element operation diagnosis simple
and positive.

all units are furnished with a fused 120 volt control
circuit. All controls (thermostats, high temperature
limit, etc.) are operated off of this basic 120 volt
control circuit. This circuit is created by an internal
multi-tap transformer of unique design that has four
(4) taps for the primary voltages, 208, 240, 277
and 480.
• Electrical Connections –
pre-wired, accessible control box with multiple knock-
outs on side in size selections to match the National
Electric Code. Sizes range from 1/2" to 2". A ground-
ing screw is provided for attaching an equipment
grounding conductor.
• Water Connections –
• Single Panel Control Box –
with hinged door, provides immediate access to all
electrical components and elements.
hot outlet and cold inlet are 1-1/2" NPT dielectric
nipples which prevent excessive turbulence of heated
water and results in optimum tank draw.
