Rheem EGSP203KW208V 20 Gal 3kw 208V Electric Water Heater

Product Description

The RHEEM EGSP203KW208V is a point-of-use electric water heater designed for on-demand hot water delivery at a single fixture or dedicated service point. Rated at 3 kilowatts and wired for 208-volt single-phase power, this unit heats 20 gallons of stored water close to where it is needed, reducing wait time and heat loss associated with long distribution runs. Licensed plumbers and electricians install this type of unit in commercial break rooms, restrooms, remote lavatories, and light-duty service applications where a central water heater cannot efficiently reach the point of use.

This unit is suited for under-counter or closet installation in commercial and light commercial settings. Its 20-gallon capacity handles moderate continuous draw at a single fixture without the pressure drops and temperature lag of a distant central system. Typical applications include office kitchenettes, medical office hand-wash stations, and small service sinks where a compact, self-contained storage heater is the most practical solution. The 208-volt single-phase electrical requirement aligns with standard commercial panel configurations.

Designed as an OEM-style point-of-use electric storage water heater for single-fixture commercial and light commercial applications requiring 208-volt single-phase electrical service.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber and, where required by local code, a licensed electrician. Shut off the cold-water supply and de-energize the circuit at the breaker panel before making any connections. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes and NEC requirements for branch-circuit sizing, disconnect means, and overcurrent protection. A pressure-relief valve must be installed and properly piped to a safe discharge point in accordance with the applicable plumbing code.
