Stiebel Eltron 202651 DHC 6-2 Classic Electric Tankless Water Heater
6.0 kW • 240/208V • High-Output Point-of-Use Solution for Single Sink Applications
The Stiebel Eltron DHC 6-2 Classic (Part #202651) is a high-capacity, point-of-use electric tankless water heater engineered for single sink applications requiring stronger temperature rise and increased flow performance. Designed to operate on 240/208V power, this model delivers robust, reliable hot water output in a compact form factor, making it ideal for commercial and demanding residential environments.
Engineered for Continuous On-Demand Hot Water
The DHC 6-2 Classic utilizes a flow-activated heating system, instantly heating water as it passes through the unit. This eliminates standby heat loss and ensures that energy is consumed only when hot water is required, maximizing efficiency and reducing operating costs.
This design provides continuous, on-demand hot water, making it ideal for handwashing sinks and other low-flow point-of-use applications where consistency is critical.
High Heating Capacity for Superior Temperature Rise
With a 6.0 kW heating capacity at 240V (4.5 kW at 208V), the DHC 6-2 Classic delivers a significantly greater temperature rise compared to lower-output models. This allows for more consistent and comfortable hot water delivery, even in colder climates or higher-demand conditions.
The increased capacity makes it especially effective for:
- Commercial restroom sinks
- Office and retail environments
- Facilities with colder incoming water temperatures
- Applications requiring reliable, higher-performance output
Compact Design for Efficient Installation
Despite its higher output, the DHC 6-2 Classic maintains a compact, wall-mounted design that allows installation directly at the point of use. This minimizes pipe runs, reduces heat loss, and delivers near-instant hot water.
Its space-saving footprint makes it ideal for installation under sinks, inside cabinets, or in tight mechanical spaces.
Proven Heating Technology and Durability
The DHC 6-2 Classic is built with a copper-sheathed heating element housed in a copper cylinder, ensuring efficient heat transfer and long-term durability. The internal design helps prevent dry firing and supports consistent performance over time.
Integrated safety and reliability features include:
- High-limit safety switch with manual reset
- Flow-activated operation for efficient energy use
- Durable, impact-resistant housing
These features ensure dependable operation in both commercial and residential applications.
