Universal Heavy Duty 72 gal. 250K BTU Commercial Natural Gas Tank Water Heater

Rheem Commercial Universal Gas Water Heaters are meticulously engineered to seamlessly integrate into even the most constrained retrofit environments while delivering robust performance to meet rigorous demands. Appreciation deepens as the compact dimensions and versatile water connections of the Universal model streamline installation processes, particularly in space-restricted settings. Noteworthy features include a space-saving design with short heights and narrow jacket diameters, alongside top, front, and rear water inlets/outlets for unparalleled installation adaptability. The system sentinel LED diagnostic system ensures operational integrity with its sequential verification of system functions. Furthermore, the tank's robust construction, comprising a proprietary steel formulation and patented multi-flue design with two coats of porcelain enamel, guarantees superior heat exchange efficiency. Precision-engineered stainless steel burners with raised port design facilitate easy inspection and maintenance, while the low-profile automatic flue damper minimizes product height. Servicing is made effortless with a factory-installed full port, full-flow brass drain valve, and hand-hole cleanout for lime/sediment deposit removal. Energy-saving measures include a direct spark to pilot ignition system and built-in corrosion resistance with a patented anode design. Enhanced insulation, consisting of sag and moisture-proof fiberglass surrounding the storage tank and heavy mineral wool insulation around the combustion chamber, ensures energy efficiency. Moreover, the gas control system offers precise temperature adjustment and includes a 24-Volt combination gas valve, 120/24-Volt transformer, and high limit temperature cut-out for optimal performance. For tailored configurations, the Universal line encompasses water heaters ranging from 35 gal. to 100 gal. models, available in various BTU/h ratings for both natural gas and liquid propane options.
