Reader question: what is the life expectancy of a Rheem hot water cylinder
(Oct 26, 2012) meme said:
How many years should a Rheem hot water cylinder last
Reply:
Meme, Rheem's warranty period for hot water heating equipment (cylinders, geysers) varies by product series but is typically 5-10 years.
You will need your product name and model number as well as serial number to look up the exact information for your unit. For example, the HPWH has a 10-year tank leak warranty and a 10-year parts warranty and a first year in-home labor warranty is included as well.
Some Rheem heating equipment such as gas furnaces includes longer periods for the heat exchanger, such as 20 years or 'lifetime'.
You should be sure to register your hot water cylinder at the company's website as that will aid in any future warranty claim. You can call Rheem directly for help. In North America call 1-800-621-5622 and listen for the prompt to take you to warranty information provided by the company
Reader question: decode the age on this 1950's Rheem water heater Serial #B950-3138 RCY-5
2018-02-27 Nick said:
Trying to determine the age of a water heater in my house. Rheem Model #62-52-D; Serial #B950-3138 RCY-5.
The serial number format does not match the Rheem age encoding scheme above on this page.
The # on the unit is B950. Baltimore - September 1950, posssibly. I know the unit is at least 40 years old.
Nine Rheem Water Heater Serial Number Decoding formats
Thank you for the added information, Nick.
I will continue researching to see if we can find a key to older Rheem water heaters that pre-date the modern date encoding schema.
Because Rheem water heaters or calorifiers or geysers were sold under quite a few brands and over many years, there is a plethora of Rheem water heater serial number formats.
Rheem provides their own Rheem water heater age decoder at https://www.rheem.com/how-old-is-my-water-heater however we found that this web page does not work on older Rheem water heater serial numbers.
To date we have found at least nine Rheem water heater age encoding schemes depending on the era of manufacture and also on the type of water heater. We summarize these below.

Decoding Older Rheem Water Heater Data Tags
On 2018-05-23 by (mod) - Age of a Rheem Model #62-52-D; Serial #B950-3138 RCY-5.
Nick
Typically on a Rheem water heater thte age is encoded in a 10-digit serial number as MMYYa12345 Your heater's serial No. is B95-3138 RCY-5 which of course doesn't fit the schema of newer Rheem units.
On 2018-03-02 by Nick
Thanks again. The only reason I speculated about Baltimore is because it was listed on the nameplate along with 5 other cities (Los Angeles, New York, Baltimore, San Francisco, Chicago, & Houston).

Nick,
Thanks, these are great photos. I'm traveling for the next few days but when I'm back in a computer I'll be sure to copy them over to our new page dedicated to Rheem water heaters and found at https://inspectapedia.com/plumbing/Rheem-Water-Heater-Age-Decoder.php We'll continue researching this heater and will see if anyone at Rheem can help.
On 2018-03-02 by Nick
I researched Rheem's history and it looks the they stopped using the logo pictured on the front of the unit sometime prior to 1960.
Thanks for your reply. Here is the nameplate. I'll get some pictures of the unit itself tonight.
