BENEFITS

DOUBLE GLASS-LINED INNER TANK
A double coating of a uniquely formulated blue cobalt glass enriched with zircon is fused to specially treated steel at 1,600°F (871°C) to provide the best coating available against corrosion for many years. The tank is certified at a test pressure of 300 PSI (2,068 kPa) and a working pressure of 150 PSI (1,035 kPa).
MEDIUM DENSITY SCREW-IN TYPE ELECTRIC ELEMENTS
This model is equipped with medium density CSA approved screw-in type immersion elements made by Giant.
FACTORY INSTALLED 3/4” NPT DI-ELECTRIC NIPPLES
Extend the life of the water heater by providing excellent corrosion protection.
FACTORY INSTALLED HEAT TRAPS
Helps reduce the migration of hot water, thus limiting heat loss escaping through inlet and outlet fittings.

FACTORY INSTALLED TEMPERATURE & PRESSURE-RELIEF VALVE
This valve will protect the tank from the damaging effects of excessive temperature and pressure.
HIGH QUALITY MAGNESIUM ANODE
Provides excellent protection against the corrosive effects of water and extends tank life.
OVERFLOW SYSTEM
A 90° elbow overflow tube is supplied with each residential electric water heater.
AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Adjustable thermostats will provide years of reliable trouble-free service at the desired water temperature and a safety cut-off is provided for abnormal conditions.
