American Water 100299060 80 Gal 12.2 Kw Commercial Water Heater

Product Description

The AMERICAN WATER 100299060 is an 80-gallon simultaneous commercial electric water heater rated at 12.2 kW and designed for 277-volt, single-phase power. It operates on a simultaneous heating configuration, meaning both upper and lower elements activate together for faster recovery and sustained hot water output. Standing 60.5 inches tall, this unit fits standard light-service commercial footprints. At 174 pounds, it is a substantial piece of equipment intended for permanent installation in commercial facilities. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors are the primary installers for this class of equipment.

This water heater is suited for light-service commercial applications where consistent hot water demand requires a high-capacity electric storage tank. Typical installations include small to mid-size commercial buildings, light industrial facilities, and multi-unit properties where natural gas service is unavailable or 277-volt single-phase electrical service is already in place. The 80-gallon storage capacity and simultaneous element operation make it appropriate for moderate continuous draw applications rather than high-demand industrial settings.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or mechanical contractor in accordance with local plumbing codes and the applicable edition of the International Plumbing Code. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power at the panel before making any wiring connections, and verify that the supply circuit is rated for the full 12.2 kW load at 277 volts. Shut off the cold water supply and fully purge air from the tank before energizing the elements. Verify that a properly rated temperature and pressure relief valve is installed and piped to a safe discharge location per code requirements.
