General Description

These SHC water heaters can be used in most point-
of-use applications. They are designed to supply hot
water for hand wash and kitchen sinks in a residential,
commercial or industrial environment.
These water heaters can replace traditional hot water
systems which consist of a central hot water heater with
hot water piping going to several draw-off points.
The SHC water heaters are lightweight and compact
and manufactured for easy installation. The units are
designed to be mounted on the wall. These units are de-
signed to operate under normal street water pressure.
