What it delivers
The LECLOC C3000 3 kW Point-of-Use Tankless Water Heater is a point-of-use electric tankless rated at 3 kW on 120 volts.
Expect about 0.3 GPM with cold winter water (a 70°F rise) and 0.5 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 120 volts 3 kW is about 25 amps. The requirement calculator shows it at 208 V too; an electrician confirms the panel.
Small units like this suit one sink or a low-flow shower close by; at a kitchen sink's 1.5 GPM the water won't rise as far.
Listed details: model: C3000.
The listing gives dimensions of 7.1 in (W) x 9.8 in (H), a weight of 3.9 lb and c3000 in the box.
