ELECTRICS WATER HEATERS
Storage Type Water Heaters
EXCELLENCE of workmanship, careful atten¬ tion to details of design and construction and the rigid test of service have established every claim that is made for L6s?H Electrics Water Heaters.
Note goose neck trap on hot water line shown    above.
Heaters work equally well on direct or alternating current and  are not  affected  by  frequency  or  voltage  changes.
The heating element is directly immersed in the water supply, thus securing the greatest degree of efficiency and this is maintained by the thorough insulation.
The attractive baked japan finish in a beautiful pastel shade of Nile Green is a decided advantage when it is desired to place the heater in the present day kitchen where color harmony is receiving con¬ siderable attention.
The heater unit is Nickel Chromium Ribbon wound on a mica core, mica insulated and inserted in seam¬ less flat copper tubing. This tubing is then securely fastened in a cast brass spud. Terminals are pure nickel. The unit is inserted in the base of the tank and held in place by four brass cap screws.
The heaters are automatically controlled by a mer¬ cury switch contactor actuated by a helical thermo¬ stat. This thermostat is inserted inside a brass hous¬ ing which extends inside the water and is in direct contact therewith. The thermostatic control can be adjusted to deliver water at from 120 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit at the top of the tank. Thermo¬ stats are adjusted at the factory to deliver water at 160 degrees, but may be changed by opening up the switch housing, loosening the set screw and moving the pointer to the temperature desired.
Electrical connections are in a cutout box in the base of the heater. The heating unit can be removed for cleaning without disturbing the plumbing or other electrical connections except the connections of the unit itself.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORRECT APPLICy\TION OF HEATERS
Most people labor under the delusion that water should be hotter than is really necessary. The fol¬ lowing table of temperatures for various purposes will necessarily vary for different individuals, but the data will serve as a guide to determine the de¬ gree of heat to allow for heating water for such purposes.
Bath, 95 to 105 degrees. Hands, average 105 degrees. Hands, maximum 115 degrees. Face, 98 degrees. Lukewarm, 90 degrees.
Statistics show that the average family uses from eight to twelve gallons of hot water per day per per¬ son, at approximately 105 degrees Fahrenheit. It must be borne in mind that water coming from a tank at 160 degrees must be mixed with an equal amount of water at 60 degrees which will mean double the amount drawn at 110 degrees. It has been found that the average tub bath neces¬ sitates ten to twenty gallons of water approximately 105 degrees.
Shower baths take from 1% to 3 J/2 gallons of hot water per minute. Therefore, for showers running for five minutes at the maximum it will take 17^ gallons of water. A shower bath is an extravagant method of using hot water for bathing.
