Product Description

The ProLine® Lowboy Top Connect electric water heater is designed to take up as little room as possible and is the ideal choice for when installation space is limited to tight spaces such as under counters and in crawl spaces.

With a 51-gallon (nominal) tank delivering 6000 watts, the PNL-50 delivers a first hour rating of 51 gallons at an Uniform Energy Factor of 0.92. The Coregard™ sacrificial anode helps protect the tank from the corrosive effects of water, and is accompanied by a 10-year limited tank warranty.

Enhanced Heating Elements

Dual 4500 watt elements for the fastest recovery and reliable operation.

• Longer lasting Stainless steel lower element.

High Uniform Energy Factors

Eco-friendly non-CFC foam insulation, heat traps and other features combine to yield a higher Uniform Energy Factor that maximizes savings on operating costs.

CoreGard™ Anode Rod

Our anode rods have a stainless steel core that extends the life of the anode rod allowing superior tank protection far longer than standard anode rods.

Blue Diamond® Glass Coating

Provides superior corrosion resistance compared to industry standard glass lining.

Blue Diamond® Glass coating blend is formulated in the same lab that creates the protection for our industry-leading commercial product line.

Cold water enters the water heater through an internal “dip tube” which forces the cold water to the bottom of the tank and pushes hot water out through the outlet connection. This arrangement provides the most hot water for a given tank size. There are two thermostats on a typical residential water heater. The thermostat at the bottom controls the lower heating element while the top thermostat controls the upper heating element. Usually, only one heating element is active at a time. Because the lower element sees the cold water first, the lower heating element does most of the work, while the upper heating element is used only when the entire tank is cold. Because water can corrode the steel tank, we glass line the inside of the tank and install an anode rod to help reduce corrosion. The temperature and pressure relief valve is a safety device designed to open if the internal temperature or pressure of the tank exceeds certain limits. Water heaters should be large enough to provide adequate hot water even when temperatures are cold and household demand is greatest.

Rebate and incentive programs provide cash-back to consumers for the purchase of appliances that meet certain energy efficiency standards. Often, these standards are tied to the ENERGY STAR® certification program.

Cash for Appliances is designed to encourage the purchase of energy efficient appliances. Consumers who purchase ENERGY STAR® certified or CEE qualified appliances can receive cash rebates. Most states are offering rebates in the $50 to $250 range.
