Vaughn Combines Efficiency and Longevity
The ME-Series electric water heater from Vaughn combines time-proven technologies
with our Hydrastone cement lining for the industry's longest lasting and most reliable
high-efficiency electric water heater. The ME-Series is equipped with low-watt-density
elements, thereby reducing the potential problem of premature failure due to mineral
build-up. The unique cold water inlet gently diffuses the flow of cold water into the
lower portion of the tank, resulting in improved stratification, energy efficiency and
thermal storage performance. Available in a wide range of sizes, the ME-Series is a
versatile fit for any project. Minimal standby heat loss, proven components and the
industry's longest lasting tank make the ME-Series electric water heater the best
choice for your water heating needs.

Vaughn Water Heaters... The Difference is Clear
Heat Trap
Elements
Built-in heat trap prevents
unnecessary heat loss, improves
efficiency and reduces operating
cost.
Special low-watt-density heating
elements for reduced mineral
build-up and long life.
Bronze Fittings
Plastic Jacket
Bronze water openings eliminate
corrosion due to dissimilar metals.
No dielectric unions or sacrificial
anode rode required.
Rust-free, lightweight, all-plastic outer
jacket. Easy to clean and maintenance
free.
(standard connection size is 0.75" NPT. 1.5" NPT
connections are available upon request)
Brass Cold Water Inlet
with Diffuser
Hand Hole Clean-Out Option
Optional 4-inch opening provides
easy access to remove severe
mineral build-up.
Introduces cold water at the bottom of
the tank and prevents turbulent mixing
with heated water.
Hydrastone Lining
(Actual Lining Thickness Shown)
The seamless ¹⁄2" thick Hydrastone cement lining
is impervious to adverse water conditions and is
proven to be the most effective method of
preventing tank failure due to corrosion.
How Hydrastone Lining Works
Protected Steel
Surface
Premium Insulation
(Actual InsulationThickness Shown)
3" thick polyurethane foam combined
with heat-retaining Hydrastone lining
allows less than 0.25°F heat loss per
hour.
The Hydrastone lining absorbs and traps water, which
then loses its oxygen and becomes inert, thus
preventing tank corrosion.
