American Water 100263062 Electric Water Heater 30 Gal

Product Description

The American Water 100263062 is a 30-gallon tall electric water heater rated at 4500 watts, designed for residential hot water supply systems. Measuring 19 inches in diameter and 46.5 inches in height, this unit fits standard tall-format installation spaces. At 98 pounds, it is a full-size tank intended for permanent installation by a licensed plumber. The 4500-watt element provides reliable heating capacity suited to typical household demand, and the tall configuration maximizes storage volume within a compact footprint.

This water heater is appropriate for residential plumbing applications where a 30-gallon electric tank-style unit is specified. The tall form factor suits utility rooms, mechanical closets, and basements where vertical clearance is available. It is a direct-wired electric unit, requiring a dedicated 240-volt circuit in most installations. Licensed plumbers and HVAC-plumbing contractors typically handle installation in new construction and replacement scenarios.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the cold water supply and disconnect electrical power at the breaker before beginning any service or replacement work. A dedicated 240-volt circuit sized to the unit's amperage draw is required — consult local electrical code and the unit's nameplate before wiring. Do not energize the heating element until the tank is fully filled with water to prevent element damage.
