The Rheem-Ruud AdvantagePlus™ Gas Commercial Water Heaters are designed for commercial applications, prioritizing efficiency, space-saving design, and ease of installation. These sealed-combustion water heaters incorporate advanced technology to optimize both operational efficiency and reliability.
The primary function of the AdvantagePlus water heaters is to provide hot water for commercial use. They achieve this through a sealed-combustion system, which means they draw combustion air from outside and exhaust flue gases externally using plastic piping. This design eliminates the need for a traditional chimney, offering greater flexibility in installation. The water heaters boast a high thermal efficiency of 95%, significantly reducing operating costs. They are designed to operate within a temperature range of 70°F to 160°F, with specific booster models (HE45-160 and HE45-199) capable of reaching a maximum temperature setting of 180°F. These units are also engineered for low NOx emissions, meeting SCAQMD Rule 1146.2.
One of the key usage features is the direct vent capability, which allows for venting up to 40 feet using 3" Schedule 40 PVC, CPVC, or ABS pipe. Smaller 100,000 BTU and 130,000 BTU models can even vent with 2" Schedule 40 PVC, CPVC, or ABS pipe. The sealed-combustion system ensures that no chimney is required, simplifying installation and reducing associated costs. The water heaters feature a durable 316L stainless steel tank construction, which eliminates the need for anode rods, simplifying maintenance. The high-efficiency 90/10 cupronickel heat exchanger further enhances performance and corrosion resistance.
The units are equipped with a self-diagnostic electronic control system that includes a digital readout for water temperature, set point, and differential. This allows for precise control and easy monitoring of the water heater's operation. For safety, the water heaters have zero clearance to all combustible surfaces, providing flexibility in placement. They come with a factory-installed AGA/ASME rated temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve. Booster installation kits are provided with HE45-160 and HE45-199 booster models, facilitating their integration into high-temperature sanitation rinse applications.
The control panel is an integrated solid-state temperature and ignition control device with integral diagnostics and an LED fault display capability, making it easy to troubleshoot any issues. The digital display shows temperature settings, offering clear operational feedback. These water heaters are UL/ULC listed and meet or exceed current ASHRAE standards for thermal efficiency and standby loss. They are also North Carolina Code compliant and meet all safety and construction requirements of ANSI Z21.10.3, certified for a 150 PSI maximum working pressure.
Maintenance is simplified by several design elements. The high-impact plastic jacket eliminates dents, maintaining the aesthetic and structural integrity of the unit. The 2" of non-CFC polyurethane foam insulation contributes to a low heat loss of less than 1/2 degree per hour (R17), reducing energy waste and maintaining efficiency over time.
A significant maintenance advantage is the removable front cover, which allows easy access to internal components. A 24" service clearance is recommended for optimal access during maintenance or repairs. The 316L stainless steel tank construction, which does not require anode rods, eliminates a common maintenance task associated with traditional water heaters. The corrosion-resistant heat exchanger also contributes to long-term reliability and reduced maintenance needs.
The self-diagnostic electronic control system with its digital readout and LED fault display aids in quickly identifying and addressing any operational issues, streamlining troubleshooting efforts. All components are strategically located in the front of the heater for easy serviceability, and all related hardware is constructed of stainless steel studs and brass nuts for durability and ease of access. The product comes with a three-year limited warranty against tank leaks, providing assurance of its quality and durability.
