One open tank
A single 25-3/4" x 26-7/8" opening takes two 4/3-size pans, fractional pans or round insets on adapter tops, so you can change the line-up without changing wells.
Positive-off thermostat
An adjustable thermostat with a ready light sits in a recessed one-piece panel that helps prevent accidental adjustments.
Fully insulated
Sides, front, back and bottom are insulated for faster preheat, faster recovery and lower energy use; Wells says it suits non-metal counters.
1" drain with valve
Every HT tank has a 1" NPT drain with a ball valve for quick emptying at closing.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
- Have a licensed electrician hard-wire the unit to a circuit that matches the nameplate voltage and phase; Wells notes that installation must meet local electrical and plumbing codes.
- Lay out the 28-1/2" x 29-1/2" top cutout and the front apron cutout from the Wells install sheet. Keep the bottom accessible for service; if you store items below, Wells recommends a baffle 12" under the unit.
- Have a plumber connect the 1" drain to a suitable drain line. The handle location of the ball valve is up to the fabricator.
