Mfr # 2.5. Stiebel eltron shc 2.5 gal. Electric mini-tank water heater shc mini-tank water heaters excel at supplying hot water at a sink for hand washing or for kitchen applications. An shc saves water and electricity by putting hot water right where it is needed rather than having a long pipe run from a central hot water tank. The small tank and good insulation reduces the stand-by losses compared with larger tank water heaters and the wait for hot water at the tap is reduced to a minimum. An shc can also be installed in-line with a central tank to allow immediate hot water draws without waiting for a long pipe run to purge itself of cold water. It may also be used to buffer temperatures in a dhw recirculation loop. Lightweight and compact, an shc mounts right under or near a sink with its included bracket. Once it is filled with water, simply plug it into a 120 volt outlet as no special wiring is required. A t&p valve is supplied and should be installed. Stiebel eltron has been a world leader in advanced water heating technology for 90 years. Our engineering excellence and high-quality manufacturing results in products fulfilling the highest expectations of performance and reliability and our shc mini-tank is no exception.
