The Suburban SW6DE 09-0079 water heater is designed to provide reliable hot water production in RVs, trailers, and recreational vehicles. This 6-gallon model operates on propane gas and electricity, making it a practical solution for campers seeking performance, versatility, and durability.
Thanks to its Direct Spark Ignition system, the water heater can be easily activated without manual lighting. Its 1440-watt Incoloy heating element offers a recovery rate of approximately 6 gallons per hour, while the propane burner delivers a heating power of 12,000 BTU to effectively meet hot water needs on board.
Staying true to Suburban's reputation, this model utilizes a porcelain-coated steel tank and an anode rod that helps protect the tank from electrolytic action. The tank is also pressure tested twice during manufacturing to ensure its integrity and reliability.
