Rheem Electric (Lowboy) with Side Water Connections Delivers Installation Flexibility and Best-in-Class Performance

The new Professional Classic Electric Short (Lowboy) with Side Water Connections is now available. These models expand the Rheem^® multifamily portfolio and offer property and maintenance, repair, operations (MRO) managers more installation and like-for-like replacement options. Just like the standard electric line, the new Electric Shorts are full of tank life and efficiency-improving features that give multifamily property owners peace of mind.

Space Saving Design

Lowboy water heaters are commonly installed in multifamily buildings because they easily fit in tight, height-restricted spaces like under counters and air handlers and in small closets. They are the perfect solution for small space installations. They save up to six inches in installed height compared to models with top water connections and fit through standard 20-inch doorways while competitor models can’t. They also replace competitor units like-for-like while outperforming with a best-in-class first hour delivery and smaller footprint¹.

Efficient Installation

Property owners and managers also benefit from standard electric line features that improve tank life, reduce maintenance needs and streamline service and installation. Tank life and efficiency-improving features like Rheemglas^® and EverKleen^® resist corrosion, reduce sediment and optimize the cold water mixing pattern to deliver a durable water heater with high performance. Easy access, front-facing electric elements, electric junction box, pressure relief valve and water connections mean service and installation are simplified. Rheem’s multifamily water heating portfolio ensures smooth operations for property managers and satisfied residents.
