Specifications
The following table details the specifications for various Rheem Professional Classic electric water heater models with side connections:
| Model Number | Nominal Gallon Capacity | Rated Gallon Capacity | First Hour Recovery (Gallons) | Recovery Rating (GPH at 90° F Rise) | Tank Height (A) | Height to Inlet/Outlet (B) | Height to Relief Valve (C) | Diameter (D) | Approx. Ship Weight (Lbs.) | Uniform Energy Factor (UEF) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PROE28 S2 RH93 SB | 28 | 26 | 48 | 21 | 30" | 7-1/8" | 22-3/8" | 19-3/4" | 97 | 0.92 |

Note: Uniform Energy Factor and rated gallon capacity are based on Department of Energy (DOE) requirements. Insulation blanket is required to meet UEF Value. Water heater dimensions are prior to installing the insulation blanket, which adds 2-1/2 inches to tank height and 4 inches to tank diameter.
All models are equipped with heat traps. If heating elements of different wattages are required, they must be specifically requested.
Recovery calculations are based on elements used in non-simultaneous operation.
