State Water Heater Patriot 40 Gallon, Light Duty Compact Commercial Electric Water Heater - 15,354 BTU - PCE4020RTA4.5KW208V3PH

Keep Service Flowing With The State Patriot 40‑Gallon Light‑Duty Commercial Electric Water Heater (PCE4020RTA, 4.5 kW, 208V 3‑Phase)

Need dependable hot water for busy restrooms, breakrooms, or small commercial kitchens? The State Patriot™ PCE4020RTA delivers light‑duty commercial performance in a compact footprint. This 40‑gallon, glass‑lined electric water heater uses two 4.5 kW medium‑watt‑density elements (non‑simultaneous operation at 208V 3‑phase) for steady recovery—about 18.5 GPH at a 100°F rise—and adjustable 120–181°F thermostats with manual high‑limit safety. It’s a practical fit for offices, retail spaces, salons, and other light‑commercial applications.

Light‑Duty Performance, Commercial Reliability

Medium‑watt‑density elements spread heat over a larger surface area to reduce scaling and support longer element life. It’s a simple, durable design that keeps hot water coming during peak times.

Glass‑Lined Protection With Anode Rod

A rugged glass‑lined steel tank paired with a sacrificial anode helps resist corrosion for reliable service in light‑commercial settings.

Flexible 208V Three‑Phase Wiring

A factory terminal block speeds installation, and the Patriot™ series is designed for field convertibility between three‑phase and single‑phase on many models—check the wiring diagram for your configuration.

Installer‑Friendly, Compact Footprint

At roughly 45‑1/8″ tall × 20‑1/2″ diameter, the 40‑gallon tall model fits tight mechanical rooms, while top 3/4″ NPT connections simplify piping and service access.

Code‑Smart Safety & Efficiency

Each element is protected with a manual‑reset high‑limit, and foam insulation helps meet DOE/ASHRAE 90.1 standby requirements. A factory ASME T&P valve is included for peace of mind.
