BENEFITS 1 - FACTORY INSTALLED TEMPERATURE & PRESSURE-RELIEF VALVE 10 Protects the tank from the damaging effects of excessive temperature and pressure. 2 - FACTORY INSTALLED 3/4" NPT DI-ELECTRIC NIPPLES Extend the life of the water heater by providing excellent corrosion protection. 2 - 3 3 - FACTORY INSTALLED HEAT TRAPS Helps reduce the migration of hot water, thus limiting 1 heat loss escaping through inlet and outlet fittings. 4 - AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL Adjustable thermostats will provide years of reliable trouble-free service at the desired water temperature and a safety cut-off is provided for abnormal 4 5 conditions. 5 - INSULATION 6 A thick uniform blanket of eco-friendly insulation keeps the water hotter for longer periods, reduces stand-by losses and energy costs. Insulation contains no HCFC'S (hydrochlorofluorocarbons), CFC'S 7 (chlorofluorocarbons), HFC'S (hydrofluorocarbons) nor VOC's (volatile organic compounds). 6 - ELECTRIC ELEMENTS All models are equipped with CSA approved bolt-on immersion elements made by Giant. These elements can be easily replaced with no special tools, resulting in low maintenance costs. 8 7 - GLASS-LINED INNER TANK A uniquely formulated blue cobalt glass enriched with zircon is fused to specially treated steel at 1,600°F (871°C) to provide the best coating available against corrosion for many years. The tank is certified at a test pressure of 300 PSI (2,068 kPa) and a working pressure of 150 PSI (1,035 kPa). 8 - HIGH QUALITY MAGNESIUM ANODE Provides excellent protection against the corrosive 4 6 effects of water and extends tank life. 9 - DRAIN VALVE Tamper-resistant, one-piece drain valve is installed 9 for easy drainage. 10 - OVERFLOW SYSTEM A 90° elbow overflow tube is supplied with each residential electric water heater.

Limited warranty of ONE (1) year on thermostats. Cold water Bottom entry 10% more hot water BENEFITS Super Cascade models offer most features of the Standard and Cascade models plus: · Oversized magnesium anode High quality. · Double coating of blue cobalt glass Protects the inner tank against corrosion and perforation. · Brass safety drain valve For easy drainage. · Vertical evacuation tube Provided to facilitate the redirection of water to the retention tank. · Warranty against inner tank leakage Limited warranty of TEN (10) years against inner tank leakage from the date of installation. · Warranty on component parts Limited warranty of FIVE (5) years on heating elements. Limited warranty of ONE (1) year on thermostats. MODELS WITH TECHNOLOGY TRIED AND TESTED TECHNOLOGY A two-year pilot project was conducted with 75 households to evaluate the three-element water heater's performance. The study showed that customers do not see any difference in quality between the two-element model and the new environmentally responsible water heater. In fact, the three-element model is more reliable, since there is less stress on its electric components. Unlike traditional two-element water heaters, whose power demand is concentrated during peak periods, three-element heaters draw less power and spread energy consumption throughout the day.

Standard 172STPS / 60 gallons 172BPS / 60 gallons 172EPS / 60 gallons ADVANTAGES A sustainable choice that lowers the collective electricity demand during peak periods. Price comparable to that of traditional two-element water heaters. No difference in your electricity costs. No impact on hot water availability. Less stress on electrical components, extends service life and increases reliability. ECOPEAK® is a registered trademark.
