Key Hot Water System Features
Multiple Installation Options
The Rheem Heavy Duty Gas 260L Outdoor water heater is highly versatile, with three size options suitable for both outdoor and indoor installations. Indoor models provide the choice of individual flueing or connection to a common flue, allowing efficient and adaptable installation across different property layouts.
Accurate and Reliable Temperature Management
The electronic thermostat provides precise temperature control, with the digital display on the 265 and 275 models allowing fine adjustments for user convenience. Hot Surface Ignition (HSI) technology eliminates the need for a pilot light, reducing operating costs and improving reliability. A built-in 100% flame failure control system ensures safety during operation.
Energy Efficiency
Designed with efficiency in mind, the flue damper on indoor models minimises heat loss by closing off the primary flue when the burner is not operating. This design can lower energy use and reduce maintenance costs, making it a practical choice for environmentally conscious households.
