LavAdvantage SPEX55T: 5.5 kW Thermostatic point of use water heater for hand washing and other low-flow applications that require precise temperature control
Feature Highlights
≈ The lowest activation turn-on flow rate of 0.2 GPM available from any brand ≈ Can be mounted in any orientation ≈ Push-button digital controls ≈ Adjustable output temperature on the front of the unit ≈ Inlet and outlet water temperature sensors ≈ Precise water flow meter
SPEX55T replaced the EX55T model in 2018.
Leading Performance Features
• Advanced technology circuit board • Energy consumption varies according to hot water demand = lower costs • Microprocessor-controlled water heating • Digital display for accuracy of 1°F. Easy output temperature adjustable range of 70°F to 140°F. Factory pre-set maximum output temperature of 120°F. Special settings of higher or lower range available. (See options on Specification Sheet.) • Silent Operation (except for SPEX0122240T model) • 99% energy efficient • Save water with water heating at the point of use • Eliminate costly mixing valves (most areas, check local codes) • Continuous hot water. No storage capacity to run out • Eliminate long pipe runs by heating water at the point of use • Easy installation with one cold or hot water line. 3/8" ID (5/8" OD) compression fittings instead of costly sweat connections • No T&P relief valve needed (most areas, check local codes) • High temperature limit switch (ECO) • Optional sanitation compliance with maximum output temperature setting of 180°F (S option) • Small, compact design • Warranty is against failure due to leaks of heater body or element assembly: 5 years on parts, 1 year labor
