Rheem Heavy Duty Gas 260L Outdoor
The Details

Key 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.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes are available for the Rheem Heavy Duty Gas 260L Outdoor water heater?

The water heater is available in three sizes based on energy input: 51 MJ (260 model), 110 MJ (265 model), and 200 MJ (275 model).

Does the smallest unit require an electrical connection?

No, the 260 model (51 MJ) does not require an electrical connection, providing a simple and efficient hot water solution.

What is BMS capability, and which models include it?

BMS (Building Management System) capability is included in the 265 (110 MJ) and 275 (200 MJ) models. This allows integration with building management systems for enhanced monitoring and control of hot water usage, suitable for larger households or commercial applications.

Is gas hot water cheaper than electric?

Gas hot water is often cheaper to run than peak-rate electricity, particularly for larger households. Continuous-flow gas only heats water on demand, avoiding the standby heat loss of a storage tank. Actual running costs depend on your gas rates and usage.

How does gas hot water work?

A gas hot water system burns natural gas or LPG to heat your water — either instantly as it flows through a continuous-flow (tankless) unit, or stored in a heated tank ready for use.

How long do gas hot water systems last?

Gas hot water systems typically last around 10–12 years with regular servicing. Continuous-flow units often last longer than storage models.

What size gas hot water system do I need?

Continuous-flow gas systems are sized by flow rate (litres per minute) based on how many hot water outlets run at once; gas storage systems are sized by tank capacity. SunCity will match the right unit to your household's peak demand.

How much does it cost to install a hot water system?

SunCity Hot Water quotes all-inclusive pricing — supply, installation by licensed plumbers and electricians, tempering and pressure-relief valves, removal of the old unit, QBCC fees and GST — with no hidden extras. Call 1300 728 122 for a fast quote.
