Product Overview

The Suburban SW12DE Gas Water Heater ensures dependable performance and effortless upkeep, boasting a high-recovery 12,000 BTU/hour capacity. Its porcelain steel tank, complemented by foam insulation and a replaceable anode rod, counters corrosive electrolysis. Encased in a one-piece, die-formed housing, controls and connections remain safeguarded yet easily accessible, fitting cut-out openings of prior models. Utilize campground or generator power through the 1440-watt Incoloy electric element for a recovery rate of 6.1 gallons per hour, or combine gas and electric for a swifter 16.2 gallons per hour recovery. Pressure tested twice during manufacturing, its integrity is ensured. Needs to be equipped with an indoor-mounted switch for ignition control (sold separately), this model features a convenient exterior gas line connection. The copolymer insulation jacket, meticulously fitted to retain heat, underscores its efficiency. With a focus on fast recovery, this water heater promises ample hot water supply and minimizes cool water cycles, akin to household water heaters, thus ensuring a seamless experience for RV users.
