Stiebel Eltron 203671 DHC-E 8/10 Classic Electric Tankless Water Heater
7.2 / 9.6 kW • 240/208V • Electronically Controlled Point-of-Use Performance for Single Sink Applications
The Stiebel Eltron DHC-E 8/10 Classic (Part #203671) is a premium electronically controlled point-of-use electric tankless water heater engineered for single sink applications that demand precise temperature stability, higher output, and energy efficiency. Designed to operate on 240/208V power, this model delivers advanced performance with consistent hot water delivery, making it an ideal solution for commercial and high-demand residential environments.
Advanced Electronic Temperature Control
Unlike mechanically controlled units, the DHC-E 8/10 Classic features electronic control technology that continuously monitors water flow and inlet temperature to maintain a stable and consistent output temperature. This ensures a more comfortable user experience with reduced temperature fluctuations, even under varying demand conditions.
This level of precision makes it particularly valuable in environments where temperature consistency and reliability are critical.
Dual Output Flexibility for Optimized Performance
The DHC-E 8/10 Classic offers dual-rated performance:
- 9.6 kW at 240V
- 7.2 kW at 208V
This flexibility allows the unit to adapt to different electrical configurations while delivering strong temperature rise and improved flow performance. It is well-suited for installations where higher output is required to maintain comfortable hot water at the point of use.
Efficient, On-Demand Tankless Operation
With a flow-activated design, the unit heats water instantly as it flows through the system. This eliminates standby heat loss and ensures that energy is consumed only when hot water is needed, maximizing efficiency and reducing operating costs.
The tankless design also provides continuous, on-demand hot water, eliminating the limitations of storage-based systems.
Compact Design for Point-of-Use Installation
The DHC-E 8/10 Classic features a compact, wall-mounted form factor, allowing installation directly at the sink. This minimizes piping distance, reduces heat loss, and delivers near-instant hot water.
Its small footprint makes it ideal for installation under sinks, inside cabinets, or in tight mechanical spaces.
Proven Durability and Safety
Built with a copper-sheathed heating element housed in a copper cylinder, the unit ensures efficient heat transfer and long-term durability. The internal design helps prevent dry firing and supports reliable performance over time.
Key safety and reliability features include:
- High-limit safety switch with manual reset
- Electronic flow control for stable operation
- Durable, impact-resistant housing
These features are engineered for dependable operation in commercial and residential applications.
