Suburban | Direct Spark Ignition Gas/Electric Water Heater | SW6DEL | 6 Gallon | 5240A | 5140A

The Suburban SW6DEL Gas Water Heater is lauded for its reliability and simple upkeep. Featuring a high-recovery 12,000 BTU/hour system with a porcelain steel tank, foam insulation, and a replaceable anode rod, it ensures durability. Notably, it incorporates a 12 Volt Relay for Interior Operation of the Electric Heating System. The one-piece, die-formed housing provides both control protection and easy access, fitting seamlessly into existing RV cut-out openings. Installing the access door and frame is straightforward. Additionally, the SW6DEL Model offers versatility by utilizing campground or generator power through its 1440-watt Incoloy electric element, achieving a recovery rate of 6.1 gallons per hour. For faster recovery at 16.2 gallons per hour, users can simultaneously use both gas and electric. The gas ignition switch, available separately, allows convenient control from within the RV. It's important to note that gas appliances should be installed and serviced by qualified technicians. During manufacturing, the water heater tank undergoes pressure testing twice to ensure its integrity, employing a porcelain-lined steel construction with an anode rod to absorb electrolytical action, similar to home water heaters.
