They heat water instantaneously and endlessly at 99% efficiency as it flows through the unit. Because they do not store hot water like tank water heaters, they have no stand-by energy losses.

Venting is not necessary and the compact European design can be installed with the unit visible. The hot water temperature delivered by a DHC depends on the incoming cold water temperature, the flow rate through the unit, and the size of the DHC model. They excel at supplying water at a constant temperature but the model must be carefully matched to the flow rate of the sink to operate properly. Refer to the DHC Sizing Guide to determine which model you need. Call Stiebel Eltron at 800.582.8423 with any questions. Stiebel Eltron invented tankless electric water heating technology more than 90 years ago, and is still the industry pioneer and world leader today, with an engineering and manufacturing tradition of excellence.

• DHC 8-2 is designed to provide endless hot water at 99% efficiency for 1 medium-flow lavatory sink in warm or cool climates, or 1 high-flow lavatory sink or low-flow kitchen sink in warm climates
• Requires 240 or 208-Volt electric service with 1 dedicated 30 Amp breaker and 10-Gauge copper wiring
• Model must be carefully matched to the application in order to operate properly
• Water connections are 1/2 in. NPT and should be detachable (such as braided steel flex connectors or isolation valves) to allow for easy servicing
• Overheat safety protection and thermal protection reset are standard

Sleek European design is considerably smaller than a tank, saves space, and allows installation flexibility
