FAQ

Q: How much hot water can the ST60 produce?
The heater delivers up to 6.4 litres per minute with a 35°C temperature rise, providing a steady and reliable supply of hot water for showers and everyday use.

Q: Can the ST60 replace a Suburban SW6DEA storage hot water system?
Yes. The Suburban ST60 is designed to fit into the same wall cut-out used by the SW6DEA, so the opening generally does not need to be enlarged. The unit also comes with its own external door and frame to neatly cover the existing opening during installation.

Q: What gas and water connections does the ST60 use? Will I need adaptors?
The ST60 uses a 3/8" male flare gas connection and 1/2" female BSPT water inlet and outlet connections. Depending on your caravan’s existing plumbing setup, adaptors may be required to suit your current fittings.

Q: What electrical power does the ST60 require?
The system operates on 12V DC power only and uses the included digital wall-mounted control panel to manage the temperature. It does not require a 240V electrical connection.

Q: Is there a minimum water flow needed for the unit to operate?
Yes. The heater requires a minimum continuous flow rate of 2.6 litres per minute in order to activate and operate correctly.

Q: Is the ST60 the easiest replacement for an SW6DEA system?
The ST60 can be a good upgrade option, but because it is a tankless system, the plumbing and electrical connections may differ from the original storage heater. If you want the simplest direct swap with minimal modifications, a Suburban storage model designed specifically as the SW6DEA replacement may be easier to install.
