Yes these are at Home depot or Lowes might not be the same brand but that does not matter as long as its about the same size so that installation is made easy. If Rheem is needed here is web site for Electrical water heaters

I was looking for a unit which replaced that specific model (same size, same hook-ups). Your answer really didn't go any farther than what I already knew. Thanks anyway.

What spec sheet? There isn't any posted. Sorry, but I don't think you helped me at all.

Customer: replied 4 years ago.

I don't have another plumbing question to ask and this one experience with justanswer.com will be my last. I was already billed so you might as well buy a few beers with it. Adios.
