6-Gallon Mini Tank Heater
The Rheem PROE6 1 RH POU is a 6-gallon residential electric water heater designed for point-of-use installation. It operates on a standard 120-volt single-phase supply drawing 16.7 amps. The unit includes a wall bracket for mounting near a sink or fixture where immediate hot water is needed.
2000-Watt Recovery and Thermostat
A single 2000-watt stainless-steel element delivers a maximum recovery flow rate of 20 gallons per hour at a 40-degree Fahrenheit rise. The automatic thermostat maintains the set temperature without user intervention during normal operation. Power consumption is limited to the rated 2000 watts while the element is active.
3/4-Inch NPT Connections and Wall Mount
Cold water enters through a 3/4-inch NPT inlet located 4.25 inches from the base, while the hot outlet sits 12.5 inches high on the 15.25-inch tall tank. The 15.75-inch diameter cylinder fits the included wall bracket for secure vertical mounting. Buyers needing higher first-hour delivery or a larger storage volume should consider a full-size heater.

Questions about this item
How do I mount the wall bracket and connect the 3/4 in NPT cold inlet without cross-threading?
Fasten the included wall bracket to studs, then thread the 3/4 in NPT cold inlet by hand until snug before a final quarter-turn with a wrench — over-tightening cracks the fitting.
Which part will need replacement first and how often should I check it?
The single stainless-steel heating element typically lasts several years; inspect it annually for scale build-up and replace if recovery drops below the 20 gph @ 40 °F rating.
At what draw rate does the 2 000 W element fall behind during continuous use?
Sustained draws above 20 gph at a 40 °F rise exceed the 2 000 W recovery capacity, so outlet temperature will decline until flow is reduced.
