Horizontal Central Water Heater 100 Litre Capacity 914 mm Height | Al Zamil Tanks

Horizontal vs Vertical 100 Litre Geyser: KSA Layout Fit

Horizontal water heaters save critical floor space. Vertical models demand ceiling height. Saudi residential bathrooms and mechanical rooms often feature low drop ceilings. A 100 litre horizontal geyser mounts flush against the wall. This leaves clearance for plumbing access. It also reduces vibration transfer to adjacent tiles. We recommend the horizontal configuration for compact KSA apartments and villa bathrooms. Our Ruud central water heater measures exactly 914 mm in height and weighs 26 kg. The compact footprint fits tight utility corners without blocking maintenance access.

KSA Electrical & Plumbing Compatibility

Standard Saudi grid voltage runs at 220V to 240V AC, 50Hz. Match your geyser rating plate exactly. Use a dedicated 16A circuit breaker. Never share the line with high-draw appliances. Saudi plumbing uses ½ inch BSP threaded connections. Always apply PTFE tape to prevent leaks. SASO certification confirms your unit meets local safety standards. The 47 mm wall thickness provides structural rigidity against thermal expansion during peak summer heat.

Installation & Maintenance Checklist

Secure the bracket to a load-bearing wall. Use chemical anchors for concrete. Connect the cold water inlet first. The safety valve must face downward. Fill the tank completely before switching power on. Check for drips at the T&P valve. Flush the unit annually to remove sediment. Hard water across Riyadh and Jeddah accelerates scale buildup. Install a magnetic water conditioner to extend element life. Annual inspections prevent sudden failures during extreme temperature shifts.

Pricing & Availability in KSA

100 litre horizontal geysers typically range from SAR 650 to SAR 1,400. Prices shift based on brand tier, insulation thickness, and warranty length. Matkel stocks ready-to-ship units across Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam. Order today for same-day dispatch. Our certified technicians handle complex commercial installations.

Clearance & Water Hardness Protection

Maintain 150 mm of space around the top and sides for airflow. Saudi summers regularly exceed 45°C. Proper ventilation prevents insulation degradation. The 450 mm diameter aligns with standard municipal pipe routing. Regular descaling extends element lifespan by up to 40%.
