Stiebel Eltron 202650 DHC 5-2 Classic Electric Tankless Water Heater
4.8 kW • 240/208V • High-Performance Point-of-Use Solution for Single Sink Applications
The Stiebel Eltron DHC 5-2 Classic (Part #202650) is a powerful, compact point-of-use electric tankless water heater designed for single sink applications requiring higher temperature rise and improved performance. Operating on 240/208V power, this model delivers strong, consistent hot water output in a space-saving design, making it ideal for commercial and residential environments where reliability and efficiency are critical.
Engineered for On-Demand Hot Water Performance
The DHC 5-2 Classic utilizes a flow-activated heating system, delivering hot water instantly as it passes through the unit. This eliminates standby heat loss and ensures energy is used only when hot water is needed, maximizing efficiency and reducing operating costs.
Optimized for low-flow fixtures, the unit is specifically designed to provide consistent, reliable hot water at handwashing sinks and point-of-use locations.
Increased Heating Capacity for Greater Temperature Rise
With a 4.8 kW heating capacity at 240V (3.6 kW at 208V), the DHC 5-2 Classic offers significantly improved temperature rise compared to lower-wattage models. This allows for more stable and comfortable hot water delivery, particularly in installations with colder incoming water temperatures or higher usage demands.
This higher output makes it well-suited for:
- Commercial restroom sinks
- Office and retail environments
- Light institutional applications
Compact Design for Flexible Installation
The DHC 5-2 Classic features a compact, wall-mounted design that allows installation directly at the point of use, typically under or near the sink. This reduces heat loss through piping and ensures near-instant hot water delivery.
Its small footprint makes it ideal for installations in tight spaces such as cabinets or utility areas, while still delivering professional-grade performance.
Proven Heating Technology and Durability
Built with a copper-sheathed heating element housed in a copper cylinder, the DHC 5-2 Classic ensures efficient heat transfer and long-term durability. The internal design helps prevent dry firing and supports consistent operation over time.
Integrated safety features include:
- High-limit safety switch with manual reset
- Flow-activated operation for efficient performance
- Durable, impact-resistant housing
These components are engineered to provide dependable operation in both commercial and residential environments.
