What does W/H mean in the description: SUBURBAN MFG CO 5058A SW6DE W/H 6 GAL DSI/ELEC? W/H = Water Heater or something else?
1393391
WH is a standard abbreviation for water heater- model number is 5058A and/or SW6DE; don't know why there are two but it was a perfect replacement for mine which only was marked SW6DE
1393392
W/H must stand for "water heater." There is no other reason to include it. The "SW6DE" is all that is needed to identify the specific model.

The "S' designates that the unit includes the overflow safety switch. The "T' indicated that the unit is supplied with tubing to connect it to other equipment.

It's 110, I am in a Mobile Home and my Handy Man advised to get 110 for sure. I absolutely love this, it continues to keep water hot, this model is ample for shower. Connecting was a bit complicated but once he figured it out got Pex hose and all connectors at Home Depot. Pricey but great quality, definitely worth the investment.

It's natural gas, you only need to run a 1/2 gas line too it because it is a low water output unit. That's why it's cheap besides it's made in China. Don't expect to take a shower with a shower head of over 1.5 gallon per minute and definitly not showering while someone is washing clothes or dishes with hot water. Basically the hot water output is low

I don't have a pdf file, but this water heater is junk. Mine lasted 4 months and the company refused to fix it. Return it while you can.

All of these 6 gallon units with DSI and Electric include a heat exchanger, which is a 5/8" loop on the back of the water heater according to Atwood. They could not provide a photo of this. If I buy one, I'll post a picture. This is not true of the 10 gallon units which are available with or without a heat exchanger.

There is a nylon drain plug outside on the panel where you access the gas and the electric connections. Be careful not to strip or break the nylon drain plug. Also, if the water heater was connected the water will be hot.

I don't know what that means. I bought this product and had installed by a buddy working on my house. Haven't had any problems.

This tank does not have the heat exchanger (H). The "A" is kind of throwing me a curve I see a GCH6A-8E which is gas, electric, electronic ignition, so instead of possibly giving you the wrong info, I suggest you call Atwood at 1-800 546-8759. There is usually a wait time to get someone. They are happy to help. Better to be safe than sorry though. Good luck

Sorry, no details available for incoming vs. outgoing temperatures. With only six gallons available at the set temparture, and the incoming temp 1/2 to 2/3's of the set temp, the electric water heater will only be able to main a consistent temperature for a minute or two. Water heaters this size are primarily used in conjunction with another water heater, or for a location where very little hot water is needed. I would estimate a good hour for the heater to completely heat the entire incoming six gallons to 120 degrees.

Go to Steinbeckeltron.com and then select the unit you desire. There will be all the info you need. Normal heating would include standard water flow from well pump or water service from town/ city. About 2 _ 4 gpm

This is an odd size and I just can't remember. The socket that fits it is available at Home Depot. This anode is the plug for the Suburban water heater so you can probably get the size from their website or owner's manual.

It means its multi fuctioning. (It reverses the current to make it heating and cooling. It also Is a dehumidifing function.

Yes,it is. Mine is connected to standard CPVC hot water line. If I recall, the recommendation is to install on the return side. I connected the power to a timer to turn it off at night. The same with the HW tank. No need to heat water at night when no one is using it.

There are two major manufacturers of water heaters for RV's. Atwood and Suburban. They are not interchangeable and the models may vary over the years. I would highly suggest that you get the model number of the water heater that you have and that would alleviate any chance of making a mistake. Most manufacturers wont take back an electrical item once it has been installed. If you cant find the model #, call your local RV dealer and give them the make and model of the trailer in question along with the maker of the hotwater heater and they can tell you the proper part number for the board. Trust this helps, good luck. There are two major manufacturers of water heaters for RV's. Atwood and Suburban. They are not interchangeable and the models may vary over the years.

The manufacturer requires three 40 amp double pole breakers for this water heater. Having said that, the true power consumption is quite low. To explain, I will give you my observations while the unit was in use. The unit has three 9 KW heaters. All the heaters do not operate at once. The first heater begins to modulate at low flow rates. If the flow increases and the first heater has reached maximum voltage then the second heater has voltage applied to maintain setpoint temperature. If the flow increases further then heater number three begins to operate as well. During my tests I never saw all elements on at the same time. As an example: a kitchen faucet, bath vanity, bath shower and a washing machine filling resulted in one element at full power and the second element was at half power. This was with the incoming water temperature was at 70 degrees F. Lower incoming water temperatures does degrade the efficiency of this unit. Remember this heater does not use any power until a faucet, shower ect. is opened for hot water. My heater has been in operation for two years with zero issues. In summary, if I needed a water heater today I would purchase the exact same thing.
