Product Overview
The Eemax SPEX55T LavAdvantage is a 5.5kW thermostatic tankless electric water heater for compatible lavatory and point-of-use applications. The thermostatic design is intended to regulate outlet temperature within the heater's operating capacity, while top or bottom 1/2 in. NPT connections provide installation flexibility.
This model is intended for correctly sized low-flow fixtures, not for every hot-water demand. The required temperature rise, incoming water temperature, fixture aerator, and actual flow rate determine whether the heater can maintain the desired outlet temperature. It may operate at 208V with reduced output, so the site voltage should be confirmed before purchase. Verify the breaker, wire size, pressure range, plumbing connection orientation, indoor mounting location, and local installation requirements. Run water through the unit to remove air before energizing the heater.
