The Rheem 50L electric water heater is a compact electric storage hot water system designed for tight spaces and low-demand applications. With 50L hot water delivery, a small 400mm diameter, dual handed connections, plug and lead model availability and indoor or outdoor installation suitability, it is a practical choice for apartments, kitchens, offices, canteens, laundries, small amenities and point-of-use hot water replacement.

About the Rheem 50L Electric Water Heater

The Rheem 50L Electric Water Heater is part of Rheem’s 111 / 191 Series electric storage range. It is designed for small spaces where there is limited demand for hot water and where a larger electric storage system is not required.

Rheem lists the 50L model as suitable for 1 person under its stated usage assumptions. In real-world use, suitability depends on shower length, fixture demand, water temperature settings, usage pattern, tariff setup and whether the system is serving a bathroom, kitchen, laundry or smaller point-of-use application.

The compact 400mm diameter makes the Rheem 50L a strong option for restricted spaces where a full-size hot water system may not fit. It can also be wall mounted where the site is suitable and the correct wall mounting bracket is used.

Is the Rheem 50L Right for Your Property?

The Rheem 50L Electric Hot Water System may be suitable if you need a compact electric storage water heater for a small home, apartment, kitchen, office, canteen, laundry or point-of-use application.

It is commonly selected where hot water demand is limited and space is restricted. The 50L size is not intended to perform like a full-size family hot water system, but it can be a practical choice where the fixture load is small and the installation location suits a compact storage unit.

This system may suit you if:

• Electrical upgrades or power point changes are required

• Wall mounting is required

• The wall structure or bracket setup is not suitable

Compact 400mm Diameter

The Rheem 50L Electric Water Heater has a small 400mm diameter, making it a practical choice for tight installation locations.

This can help in apartments, cupboards, laundries, kitchens, office amenities, canteens and small service areas where a wider hot water system may not fit.

The compact size also makes it easier to position in selected replacement locations, provided access, plumbing, electrical supply and compliance requirements are suitable.

Plug and Lead Model Option

The Rheem 50L range includes a plug and lead model option for suitable applications.

The plug and lead option is available on the 2.4kW model only and must be connected to a suitable power outlet and circuit that meets electrical requirements. Hardwired options may be more suitable in other situations depending on the existing installation and site conditions.

The correct model should be selected before ordering or installation.

Dual Handed Connections

The Rheem 50L Electric Water Heater includes dual handed connections. This can make replacement installation easier because the water connections can better suit different existing plumbing layouts.

Dual handed connections are useful in compact replacement jobs where pipework position, access and space can be more limited than standard outdoor hot water system locations.

Wall Mounting Option

The Rheem 50L Electric Water Heater can be wall mounted where the installation site is suitable and the correct wall mounting bracket is used.

Wall mounting can be useful where floor space is limited, but the wall structure, bracket, loaded weight, access, plumbing, electrical connection and compliance requirements all need to be suitable before installation.

Small Space Hot Water

The Rheem 50L is designed for small hot water demand rather than full household family use.

It can be a practical option for apartments, kitchens, offices, canteens, laundries, small amenities, secondary fixtures and compact properties where a larger electric storage system is not required.

For higher household demand, a larger electric storage system such as 125L, 160L, 250L, 315L or 400L may be more suitable.

Common Uses

The Rheem 50L Electric Hot Water System can be suitable for:

• Apartments

• Kitchens

• Office kitchenettes

• Canteens

• Laundries

• Small amenities

• Granny flats with limited demand

• Compact homes

• Point-of-use hot water

• Restricted space installations

• Small electric storage hot water replacement

• Indoor or outdoor compact electric hot water installations

• Supply-only orders where a licensed installer is already arranged

• Supply and install orders in selected Brisbane and Gold Coast areas

Suitability depends on hot water usage, fixture demand, installation location, water pressure, access, plumbing condition, electrical supply and compliance requirements.

Tempering Valve and Element Information

*Element size information:
All electric hot water units are supplied as standard with a 3.6kW element unless otherwise stated on the product page, invoice, or order confirmation.

If a different element configuration is requested, such as 1.8kW or 2.4kW, the hot water unit may still arrive with the standard 3.6kW element fitted from the manufacturer. The requested 1.8kW or 2.4kW element will be supplied separately with the order for installation by a suitably licensed electrical contractor or licensed electrical licence holder.

Any element changeover, electrical connection, disconnection, wiring, testing, or modification must be carried out by a licensed electrical contractor or licensed electrical licence holder. Elements must not be changed, connected, modified, or tested by an unlicensed person.

Alternative elements supplied for non-standard configurations may be generic replacement elements and may not be the same brand as the hot water unit unless specifically stated. Generic elements are supplied to suit the requested element size and electrical configuration, but final suitability must be checked by the licensed installer before installation.

1.8kW and 2.4kW elements supplied separately with a hot water unit include a 12-month supply-only parts warranty from the date of purchase, provided the element has been correctly installed by a licensed electrical contractor or licensed electrical licence holder and used under normal operating conditions.

This element warranty covers the replacement supply of the element only. It does not include labour, call-out fees, electrical work, plumbing work, fault finding, removal, reinstallation, testing, travel, downtime, damage caused by incorrect installation, or any other associated costs. Warranty may be declined where the element has been incorrectly installed, dry-fired, modified, damaged, connected to incorrect voltage or wiring, affected by power issues, used in unsuitable water conditions, or installed by an unlicensed person.

Proof of purchase, installer details, electrical licence details, photos, and/or return of the faulty element may be required before a warranty claim is approved.

**Tempering valve information:
Where a hot water system is capable of delivering water above 50°C, a compliant tempering valve must be installed to control the temperature delivered to personal hygiene fixtures such as showers, baths, basins, and bathroom outlets. This helps reduce the risk of scalding and assists with meeting plumbing compliance requirements.

A tempering valve blends hot and cold water to deliver a safer controlled outlet temperature to required fixtures. The hot water unit itself may store water at a higher temperature, but the water delivered to personal hygiene outlets must be controlled where required by plumbing regulations.

If your property already has a suitable, compliant tempering valve installed, your licensed plumber can assess whether it is appropriate for use with the new hot water system. Existing valves may not always be suitable due to age, condition, compliance requirements, valve type, location, or system compatibility.

If a compliant tempering valve is not already installed, or if the existing valve is unsuitable, one must be supplied and installed by a licensed plumber as part of the hot water installation.

Tempering valves are not automatically included with every supply-only hot water unit unless specifically selected, listed as included, or purchased as part of a suitable valve kit. If a tempering valve is required, please purchase the appropriate valve kit with your order or arrange for your licensed installer to supply and install the correct tempering valve on site.

It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the installation is completed by appropriately licensed trades and that all required valves, fittings, electrical work, plumbing work, and compliance requirements are allowed for as part of the installation.
