WI #102

Picked up this $6500 in April 2026 for less than 500. Never used. Suspect owner bought it for his house and a real heist. He didn’t have three phase power. You can do single phase, but was unsuccessful at hooking it up. Now we need to figure out where best to put it and ensure that all parts are complete. Preference is for regular residential single phase power but if that’s not possible, we’ll be hooking it up at budget in.

rheem model number es85-18g

Cold Water Inlet (Side/Bottom): 1-1/2 inch NPT
Hot Water Outlet (Top/Center): 1-1/2 inch NPT

Since this is an 18 kW commercial unit- most likely need a 70-amp 3-pole breaker and #4 or #6 AWG copper wire .. and at 70amps, this would take up most of a 20amp circuit.
