Product Overview - Suburban SW10P Service Training Manual

Suburban rv Water HeaterS
The Suburban line of water heaters includes high recovery gas, gas-electric and motor aid models with sizes and features
to match the requirements of almost any recreational vehicle. Suburban uses a porcelain-lined, steel water heater tank with
an anode rod to "absorb" the electrolytical action. The anode rod is attached to the drain plug and can be easily inspected
and replaced, as necessary, when the tank is drained.
The module board is completely protected from moisture and the outside environment by being placed at the rear of the unit
inside the coach, which makes it possible to locate the module board on the appliance or on the wall next to the appliance.
The Suburban water heater has a fast recovery time and fewer cool water cycles. 6, 10, 12 and 16 gallon water heaters
have 12,000 BTU/h input and a recovery rate of 10.2 gallons per hour. Combination gas/electric models are equipped with a
1440 watt element to recover at 6.0 gallons per hour. The 4 gallon water heater has 9,000 BTU/h input and a recovery rate
of 7.6 gallons per hour. The tank is insulated with a molded copolymer insulation. This insulation helps retain heat.
All the water heaters are designed for easy installation, operation and maintenance. The controls are located in the front of
the water heater along with the anode rod for better serviceability.

glass-lined tank
The steel, glass-lined tanks provide long life under varying water conditions. This same construction is what is used for
more than 7 million residential water heaters sold annually. Three (3) year limited tank warranty, replaceable anode rod, high
output, fast recovery, and foam jacket are on all gas/electric models.
