Every time it is used, the cold water sitting in the piping has to run before the hot water arrives. The \u003cstrong\u003eBradford White RE16U6-1NAL electric water heater\u003c\/strong\u003e solves this at the source: this small \u003cstrong\u003e6 US gallon (5 imperial gallon, 23 L)\u003c\/strong\u003e tank is installed right next to the point of use and supplies hot water almost instantly. It runs on \u003cstrong\u003e120 V\u003c\/strong\u003e with a \u003cstrong\u003e1,500 W\u003c\/strong\u003e element.

It serves a single sink or a small group of fixtures in the same spot. Since the hot water only has a few feet of pipe to travel, it reaches the tap without delay, and cold water is no longer wasted while waiting. This type of unit is also useful in a building where a sink is added far from any hot water supply: it avoids running a long hot water line through walls or ceilings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes in handy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RE16U6-1NAL is the smallest of the residential tanks in this Bradford White line. It suits a kitchen island far from the main tank, an office kitchenette, a basement bar, the washbasin of a powder room added during a renovation, or the utility sink of a commercial space. At 14 in. in diameter and 16 3\/16 in. tall, it can often fit in a cabinet under the sink or in a nearby closet; we measure the space and the access to the connections before confirming the location. It is not meant to supply a shower or a bath: its reserve is designed for handwashing, dishes and cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer data\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 US gallons, 5 imperial gallons, 23 L.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFactory wiring:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120 V, a single 1,500 W element, unless otherwise specified when ordering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecovery:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 US gal\/h (6 imp. gal\/h) at a 90 °F rise, or 26 L\/h at a 50 °C rise, based on 1,500 W operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum wattage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3,000 W, regardless of voltage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElement:\u003c\/strong\u003e immersion, screw-in, copper; INCOLOY-type element available on request.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnections:\u003c\/strong\u003e all water and electrical connections are 3\/4 in.

This configuration lets it run on a 120 V circuit, without the two-pole circuit a large tank requires. Bradford White also offers the series in 208 V, 240 V, 277 V and 480 V, single-phase only, but for this model the wattage never exceeds 3,000 W, regardless of voltage. In the vast majority of cases, the factory configuration is the right one. We provide a dedicated circuit and check the capacity of the electrical panel before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat to expect from 6 US gallons\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA small reserve empties quickly if the water is left running for a long time, after which the element reheats it at a rate of 7 US gallons per hour for a 90 °F rise. For handwashing, rinsing dishes or cleaning a counter, this is more than enough, since each use takes only a fraction of the reserve. If the sink is used to fill large pots or to feed an appliance that uses a lot of hot water, we steer you toward a larger size in the same line instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConstruction and compliance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tank is protected by Bradford White's \u003cstrong\u003eVitraglas with Microban\u003c\/strong\u003e lining. The element is immersed and screwed in, so it can be replaced without changing the tank, and the factory-installed dielectric fittings limit corrosion between the tank and the copper piping. According to the manufacturer, all models in the series are UL listed, and applicable models are verified by CSA for energy performance under standard C191.1-M90.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer's warranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RE16U6-1NAL is covered by a 6-year limited warranty on the tank and 6 years on parts.
