What it delivers
The Eemax PR013240 13 kW Electric Tankless Water Heater is a compact electric tankless rated at 13 kW on 240 volts.
Expect about 1.3 GPM with cold winter water (a 70°F rise) and 2.0 GPM when the inlet is milder (45°F rise); that is less than one 2 GPM shower in January. Size it to your fixtures.
At 240 volts 13 kW is about 54 amps. A licensed electrician confirms the panel, the service and the wire before it goes in.
It skips venting entirely, but the amps are the hurdle: check the panel before the plumbing.
Listed details: model: PR013240.
The listing gives a weight of 8 lb.
