Frequently asked questions
Common questions about RHEEM-RUUD from 3G Electric.
What are the power and capacity options for Rheem-Ruud compact commercial electric water heaters?
Rheem-Ruud compact commercial electric water heaters are available in capacities from 6 to 19.9 gallons. Power ratings range from 1,500 W to 18,000 W. Single-phase models operate at 120 V, 208 V, 240 V, or 277 V. Three-phase models are available at 240 V. Recovery rates vary by model; for example, the E10-18-G delivers 186 gallons per hour at a 40°F temperature rise. These units are designed for point-of-use or small-space installation, with heights between 15.12 and 25.12 inches. The EGSP series includes models such as EGSP6, EGSP10, and EGSP20, while the E series includes E10-12-G and E10-18-G.
What is the difference between Rheem-Ruud EGSP and E series water heaters?
The Rheem-Ruud EGSP series consists of compact commercial electric water heaters intended for point-of-use applications, with capacities from 6 to 19.9 gallons and power ratings from 1,500 W to 6,000 W. They are typically single-phase and operate at 120 V, 208 V, or 277 V. The E series includes models like the E10-12-G and E10-18-G, which are three-phase, 240 V units with higher power ratings (12,000 W and 18,000 W) and higher recovery rates (124 and 186 gallons per hour at 40°F rise). Both series are designed for commercial installations where hot water is needed at or near the point of use.
What are the electrical requirements for Rheem-Ruud point-of-use electric water heaters?
Rheem-Ruud point-of-use electric water heaters are available with single-phase or three-phase power. Single-phase models operate at 120 V, 208 V, 240 V, or 277 V, with power ratings from 1,500 W to 6,000 W. Three-phase models operate at 240 V with power ratings of 12,000 W or 18,000 W. Installation requires a dedicated circuit sized to the unit's amperage draw. Refer to the specific model's nameplate and manufacturer instructions for overcurrent protection and wiring requirements. 3G Electric provides product specifications to assist with electrical planning.
What is the recovery rate of Rheem-Ruud E10-18-G and how is it measured?
The Rheem-Ruud E10-18-G has a recovery rate of 186 gallons per hour at a 40°F temperature rise. This rating indicates the volume of water the unit can heat by 40°F in one hour under standard test conditions. The E10-18-G has a 10-gallon tank and 18,000 W input at 240 V three-phase. Recovery rate is a key specification for sizing water heaters in applications with high continuous demand, such as commercial kitchens or process operations. Actual performance may vary with inlet water temperature and installation conditions.
What sizes are available in Rheem-Ruud compact commercial electric water heaters?
Rheem-Ruud compact commercial electric water heaters are available in 6-gallon, 10-gallon, and 19.9-gallon capacities. The 6-gallon model (EGSP6) has a height of 15.12 inches and 2,000 W.
