UNDER-SINK POINT-OF-USE HOT WATER

Stiebel Eltron SHC 10 AU Installation Brisbane & Gold Coast

JR Gas & Water supplies and installs the Stiebel Eltron SHC 10 AU compact mains-pressure storage water heater across eligible Brisbane, Gold Coast and surrounding South East Queensland service areas.

The SHC 10 AU is a 10 litre pressurised under-sink electric storage water heater designed to provide hot water close to sinks, basins and other local fixtures without relying on a long hot-water pipe run from a larger central system.

Unlike open-vented mini storage heaters, the SHC uses a sealed mains-pressure design and is intended for use with compatible pressure tapware. Stiebel Eltron also specifies that it can supply one or more nearby draw-off points, making it useful for kitchens, office kitchenettes, utility sinks, commercial hand basins and similar point-of-use applications.

Stiebel Eltron SHC 10 AU at a glance: 10L nominal storage, approximately 15.3L mixed-water volume at 40°C, 1.6kW output and 6.8A current at 240V, 10A circuit protection, 10L/min maximum flow and compact 498 × 280 × 270mm dimensions. It is a mains-pressure point-of-use storage system rather than a whole-home shower and bath water heater.

PRODUCT AT A GLANCE

Stiebel Eltron SHC 10 AU Compact Storage Hot Water

10L Storage

Stores 10 litres of hot water immediately beneath or close to the intended point of use.

15.3L Mixed Water

Stiebel Eltron publishes approximately 15.3 litres of mixed water at 40°C under the applicable test method.

Mains Pressure

A sealed pressurised appliance designed to supply one or more suitable nearby outlets.

Single Phase

Uses a 220–240V single-phase electrical supply rather than the high electrical load of an instantaneous unit.

WHO IT SUITS

Where Does the SHC 10 AU Work Best?

The SHC 10 AU is designed for small local hot water applications where a full-size storage heater would be unnecessary and running long pipework from the main system is inconvenient.

Kitchen Sinks

A useful under-sink option where local hot water is required for everyday washing and food-preparation tasks.

Office Kitchenettes

Can suit staff kitchens, tea rooms, small workplaces and similar applications with modest local hot water demand.

Remote Basins & Utility Sinks

Useful where the fixture is far from the main hot water system and a shorter local hot-water pipe run is preferred.

Not normally a whole-home system. The SHC 10 AU is intended for local sinks and basins. Its 10L capacity makes it unsuitable as the normal primary hot water source for whole-home shower, bath or heavy household demand.

HOW IT WORKS

How Does the Stiebel Eltron SHC 10 AU Work?

The SHC stores hot water close to the outlet rather than heating water only as it flows. When hot water is drawn, cold mains water enters the appliance and the heating element reheats the stored volume automatically.

10L Stored Locally

The enamelled steel cylinder keeps a small supply of hot water ready close to the point where it will be used.

Shorter Hot-Water Run

Installing the heater beneath the sink can reduce the volume of cooled water that would otherwise sit in a long pipe between a remote central heater and the fixture.

Automatic Reheating

The appliance automatically heats again when the stored-water temperature falls below its control setting.

Some safety-valve discharge while heating is normal. Because the SHC is a pressurised storage water heater, expansion water can discharge through the safety valve during the heat-up cycle.

MAINS-PRESSURE DESIGN

SHC 10 AU vs Open-Vented Under-Sink Systems

The SHC is a sealed mains-pressure compact storage heater. That gives it a different plumbing arrangement from Stiebel Eltron's open-vented SNU range.

SHC 10 AU

Pressurised storage system designed for compatible conventional pressure tapware and one or more nearby draw-off points.

Open-Vented SNU

Uses a non-pressurised hydraulic arrangement requiring compatible Stiebel Eltron open-vented tapware.

Why the Difference Matters

The water heater, valves and tapware need to be selected as a compatible system rather than assuming every compact under-sink heater installs the same way.

CAPACITY

How Much Hot Water Does the SHC 10 AU Provide?

The storage cylinder physically holds 10 litres, but hot stored water is normally mixed with cold water at the outlet. This means the usable warm-water volume can be higher than the nominal storage capacity.

10L Stored

The internal cylinder holds a nominal 10 litres of heated water.

15.3L Mixed at 40°C

Stiebel Eltron publishes approximately 15.3 litres of mixed water at 40°C under its applicable test method.

Real Usage Varies

Actual usable volume depends on incoming cold-water temperature, outlet temperature, flow rate and how quickly the stored supply is drawn.

Designed for sinks and basins. The mixed-water figure helps explain its useful point-of-use capacity but should not be interpreted as equivalent to a full-size household storage system.

MULTIPLE OUTLETS

Can the SHC 10 AU Supply More Than One Tap?

Yes. Stiebel Eltron specifically states that the pressurised SHC can supply one or more draw-off points.

Two Nearby Fixtures

A suitable installation can supply more than one nearby sink or basin from the same compact storage heater.

Standard Pressure Tapware

The SHC is designed for compatible pressure tapware rather than the special open-vented taps used with Stiebel Eltron SNU heaters.

Capacity Is Still 10L

Connecting multiple outlets does not increase stored capacity. Heavy or simultaneous use can consume the available hot water quickly.

SHC 10 VS SHC 15

Stiebel Eltron SHC 10 AU vs SHC 15 AU

Specification SHC 10 AU SHC 15 AU
Article Number 235002 235001
Storage Capacity 10L 15L
Mixed Water at 40°C 15.3L 23L
Rated Output at 240V 1.6kW 1.6kW
Rated Current at 240V 6.8A 6.8A
Maximum Flow 10L/min 10L/min
Dimensions 498 × 280 × 270mm 523 × 320 × 318mm
Filled Weight 17.2kg 24kg
Best Direction Smaller cupboard spaces and lighter local hot water demand. Higher local demand where the additional storage capacity and cupboard space suit the installation.
The SHC 15 does not reheat faster simply because it is larger. Both models use the same 1.6kW rated heating output at 240V. The SHC 15's main advantage is the larger stored and mixed-water volume.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

What Is Required to Install an SHC 10 AU?

Suitable under-sink space for the 498 × 280 × 270mm appliance plus plumbing and servicing access.
Load-bearing wall or mounting surface capable of supporting the appliance when filled with water.
Suitable cold and hot water connections allowing the heater's upward-facing connections to be installed without strain.
Supplied safety valve plus non-return valve installed in the cold-water arrangement in accordance with Stiebel Eltron's instructions.
Safety-valve drainage sized so water can discharge freely with a continuous downward fall.
Open atmospheric drain termination so the safety-valve discharge line is never sealed or obstructed.
Suitable accessible electrical supply matching the appliance's 220–240V single-phase requirements.
Pressure reducing valve where required if water-supply pressure exceeds the manufacturer's specified threshold.

Do not block the safety-valve drain. Stiebel Eltron specifically requires the drain line to remain open to atmosphere because expansion water can discharge while the stored water is heating.

PRESSURE & TEMPERATURE

Important SHC 10 AU Installation Controls

Because the SHC is a pressurised storage water heater, the inlet pressure, safety-valve arrangement and hot-water delivery temperature need to suit the installation.

Supply Pressure

Stiebel Eltron specifies a maximum water-supply pressure of 600kPa. Its installation instructions require a pressure-reducing valve set to a maximum of 550kPa where supply pressure exceeds 550kPa.

Safety Valve

The supplied 700kPa safety valve protects the appliance from excessive internal pressure and requires a correctly installed drain line.

Personal-Hygiene Outlets

Stiebel Eltron instructs installers to use a tempering or thermostatic mixing valve for systems supplying personal-hygiene outlets so delivery temperature is limited appropriately.

POWER REQUIREMENTS

Does the SHC 10 AU Need Three-Phase Power?

No. The SHC 10 AU uses a normal single-phase 220–240V electrical supply. At 240V, Stiebel Eltron lists a 1.6kW output and approximately 6.8A rated current.

Single Phase

No three-phase electrical supply is required for the SHC 10 AU.

10A Protection

Stiebel Eltron specifies a 10A MCB or fuse rating for the appliance.

Standard GPO

The current Australian datasheet lists standard GPO connection, subject to the electrical installation and socket being suitable and compliant.

BRISBANE INSTALLATION

Stiebel Eltron SHC 10 AU Installation Brisbane

JR Gas & Water supplies and installs the Stiebel Eltron SHC 10 AU across eligible Brisbane service areas for kitchens, offices, utility rooms, laundries and other suitable point-of-use locations.

The SHC 10 can be especially useful where a Brisbane kitchen or remote sink is located a significant distance from the property's main hot water system. Positioning a compact heater close to the fixture can reduce the amount of water discharged while waiting for hot water to travel through a long pipe run.

For replacements, JR can assess whether the existing under-sink plumbing, power, valve arrangement and relief drain remain suitable. New installations can require additional plumbing and drainage before the appliance can be commissioned.
