When it is time to replace it, owners often run into the same limit: an original electrical service with little margin. The \u003cstrong\u003eBradford White CEHD80 commercial electric water heater\u003c\/strong\u003e, in its three-element \u003cstrong\u003e6 to 18 kW\u003c\/strong\u003e version, meets that reality with a large \u003cstrong\u003e80 US gallon\u003c\/strong\u003e tank (67 imperial gallons, 303 L) and a moderate power rating chosen according to the building’s capacity. AirGreen installs it in buildings in \u003cstrong\u003eMontreal\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLaval\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLongueuil\u003c\/strong\u003e, the \u003cstrong\u003eSouth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eNorth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is for owners of multiplexes, managers of small apartment buildings, rooming houses and condo associations whose hot water is centralized. It also suits a mixed-use building, with a business on the ground floor and apartments upstairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStoring ahead rather than heating at peak\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a residential building, hot water use follows a fairly predictable pattern: a peak in the morning, another in the evening, and long quiet periods in between. A large tank takes advantage of that pattern. Through the night and the day, the elements quietly rebuild the reserve; at shower time, it is mostly the water already heated that does the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is why 6 to 18 kW is often enough in this setting, where a business with continuous demand would need far more. The 80 US gallon volume acts like a hot water battery: it absorbs the peaks, and the installed power does not have to follow them in real time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe buildings it is meant for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMontreal multiplex\u003c\/strong\u003e whose hot water was centralized during a renovation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003esmall apartment building\u003c\/strong\u003e with a shared mechanical room in the basement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003erooming house\u003c\/strong\u003e or residence where several bathrooms share the same supply.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003emixed-use building\u003c\/strong\u003e whose ground-floor business and apartments draw on the same reserve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn each case, we build the consumption profile before confirming the size and power: number of units and bathrooms, presence of washers, occupants’ habits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer data for the three-element CEHD80\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80 US gallons (67 imperial gallons, 303 L).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElements\u003c\/strong\u003e: three standard screw-in elements, Incoloy-sheathed, low watt density.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower ratings provided\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6, 9, 12, 13.5, 15, 18 kW.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConversion\u003c\/strong\u003e: three-element models \"can be converted from 6 kW to 18 kW ONLY\".\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable voltages\u003c\/strong\u003e: 208 V, 240 V, 277 V, 380 V, 415 V, 480 V and 600 V.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 1\/2 in.

With three elements, the CEHD80 can be ordered at a power rating that respects the panel’s available capacity, then converted later within the 6 kW to 18 kW range if the electrical service is upgraded. The manufacturer is clear on this point: conversion stays within that range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the visit, we note the service capacity, the loads already connected and the space available in the panel. We then propose a realistic power rating that keeps occupants comfortable without imposing major electrical work when it is not needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVoltage and phase\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVoltage and phase must be specified at ordering. The manufacturer offers the CEHD at 208 V, 240 V, 277 V, 380 V, 415 V, 480 V and 600 V, and all units leave the factory as standard three-phase models; on 600 V models, only kW conversion is permitted. Because the supply varies a great deal from one building to the next, we confirm the exact configuration on site, before ordering, so that the unit delivered matches your building.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe route to the basement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn 80 US gallon tank is not handled like a household water heater. The CEHD80 measures 26 in. in diameter and 61 1\/4 in. in height, and weighs 335 lb empty. In a plex, access to the basement often runs through a narrow outdoor staircase or a low door: we measure every passage during the assessment and plan the handling equipment accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn site, the unit needs a solid floor, a floor drain for the relief valve and flushing, and clearance in front of the elements for service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA unit made for a shared room\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a building, the water heater room is often accessible to several people. The vandal-resistant brass drain valve makes full sense here. The tank is protected by the Vitraglas lining with Microban, an antimicrobial technology, and the factory-installed true dielectric fittings limit corrosion between the piping and the tank. We recommend maintenance once a year: flushing, checking the elements and testing the relief valve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStandards and options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to Bradford White’s documentation, the CEHD design is UL certified for field conversion, ASME construction is available and NSF kits are offered. These options are useful when an engineer or an insurer sets specific requirements for the building.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConfirmed in the quote\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe full model number of a CEHD indicates the power, voltage, phase and ASME option.
