Ruud SP20304D Propane Gas-Fired Tank Water Heater for Contractors
The Ruud SP20304D is a propane (LP gas)-fired water heater built for installations where propane is the primary fuel source rather than natural gas or electric service. As with any gas-fired water heater, this unit is intended to be installed and connected by a licensed contractor in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions and applicable local plumbing and gas codes. Ruud is a long-established name in water heating equipment supplied to residential and light-commercial plumbing contractors, and the SP20304D model designation identifies this unit within the Ruud propane water heater lineup for rough-in and replacement work.
