American Water 100336546 50 Gal 4500W Electric Water Heater

Product Description

The AMERICAN WATER 100336546 is a tall 50-gallon electric water heater rated at 4500 watts and 240 volts, single phase. Designed for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, this unit delivers reliable hot water capacity in a tall-tank configuration. At 20.5 inches in diameter and 60.5 inches in height, it is sized for standard utility closet or basement installations. Licensed plumbers and water heater technicians install this type of unit as a direct replacement or new-construction water heating solution where electric service is available and natural gas is not preferred or practical.

This water heater suits residential applications where a high-recovery electric tank unit is required. The 50-gallon tall configuration is a common choice for households with moderate to high hot water demand. Its single-phase 240-volt electrical requirement is compatible with standard residential electrical service panels when properly wired to a dedicated circuit. The tall footprint makes it well suited for utility rooms, mechanical closets, or basement installs where vertical clearance is available and floor space is limited.
