Suburban | Direct Spark Ignition Gas/Electric Water Heater | SW10DE | 10 Gallon | 5243A | 5143A | 5143F

The Suburban SW10DE Gas Water Heater stands out for its reliability
and easy maintenance, featuring a high-recovery 12,000 BTU/hour model
with a porcelain steel tank, foam insulation, and a replaceable anode
rod to counter corrosive electrolysis. The one-piece, die-formed housing
not only provides protection for controls but also allows easy access,
seamlessly fitting into prior model cut-out openings on any RV side.
Installation of the access door and frame is straightforward.
Additionally, the SW10DE Model offers versatility by utilizing campground
or generator power through its 1440-watt Incoloy electric element,
providing a recovery rate of 6.1 gallons per hour. For a faster recovery
rate of 16.2 gallons per hour, users can simultaneously use both gas
and electric. The gas ignition switch, available separately, allows
convenient control from inside the RV. It's important to note that gas
appliances should be installed and serviced by a qualified technician.
The water heater tank undergoes pressure testing twice during
manufacturing to ensure its integrity, using a porcelain-lined steel
construction with an anode rod to absorb electrolytical action, similar
to home water heaters.
