Eemax SPEX35 FlowCo 240V Tankless Electric Water Heater | 3.5kW

Product Details

The Eemax SPEX35 FlowCo is an ultra-compact, energy-efficient tankless electric water heater designed for point-of-use handwashing applications. Operating at 240V and delivering 3.5kW of power, this non-thermostatic unit is the perfect solution for providing endless hot water to a single lavatory sink, sensor faucet, or metering faucet. By heating water only on demand, it eliminates standby heat loss and helps facilities save on both water and energy costs. Its small footprint and versatile design make it an ideal choice for commercial restrooms, office buildings, and retail spaces.

Key Features:

• On-Demand Heating: Provides an endless supply of hot water for a single fixture, ensuring you never run out during use.
• SafeStart™ Technology: An intelligent feature that engages upon start-up to prevent "dry-fire" damage to the heating element, extending the unit's lifespan.
• InfoCue™ LED Indicator: Features a visible LED light that provides real-time system status and operational feedback for easy troubleshooting.
• Omnidirectional Mounting: The unique design allows the unit to be mounted in any orientation (360 degrees), fitting perfectly in tight under-sink cabinets or around existing plumbing.
• Non-Thermostatic Flow Control: Specifically designed for fixed-flow applications where the temperature rise is dictated by the flow rate, ideal for standardized handwashing.

Specifications:

• Power Rating: 3.5 kW
• Voltage: 240V (Can be used on 208V with de-rated 2.6kW output)
• Amperage Draw: 15 Amps

Installation & Maintenance Tips:

• Simple Connection: Features 3/8" compression fittings, eliminating the need for soldering or sweat connections during installation.
• Voltage Note: This is the 240V version. If you are looking for the 120V equivalent for standard wall circuits, please see model **SPEX3512**.
• De-rating: When installed on a 208V circuit, the output drops to 2.6kW. Ensure this provides sufficient temperature rise for your climate.
• Element Replacement: Features a replaceable Ni-Chrome cartridge heating element, making long-term maintenance simple and cost-effective without replacing the entire unit.

Common Uses/Applications:

• Commercial Handwashing: The standard choice for office restrooms, malls, and stadiums using sensor or manual faucets.
• Kitchenettes & Wet Bars: Provides instant hot water for light cleaning and hand hygiene in office breakrooms.
• ADA Compliant Facilities: Its compact size and point-of-use installation make it easier to meet ADA clearance requirements under sinks.
• Energy-Efficient Retrofits: Replaces bulky small tanks to save space and eliminate the electricity wasted keeping water hot 24/7.

Common Questions:

Q: What is the difference between SPEX35 and SPEX3512?

A: The SPEX35 requires 240V power (15 Amps), while the SPEX3512 operates on 120V power (29 Amps). Both provide 3.5kW, but require different electrical wiring.

Q: Can I adjust the temperature on this unit?

A: The SPEX35 is non-thermostatic. The output temperature depends on the incoming water temperature and the flow rate. For precise temperature adjustment, consider the **LavAdvantage (T)** series.

Q: Do I need a pressure relief valve?

A: In most point-of-use installations, a T&P valve is not required for these units (check your local plumbing codes to be sure).

The Eemax SPEX35 FlowCo is the professional standard for reliable, point-of-use hot water, combining a "mount-anywhere" design with robust, intelligent safety features.
