Canada
The Ruud Mfg. Co. became established in Canada in 1908 with a factory in Toronto, they later expanded from this base.
Function
Used for heating large quantities of water for households. This model was considered the standard size for a 'modern' household, having a kitchen, 2 bathrooms & a laundry (Ref. 1)
Technical
An exclusive feature of Ruud water heaters was to provide a means of diverting condensation from lower coils to outside of heater - thus protecting heater coils, burner and base against condensation damage. The double gas valve system provided greater control and prevented overheating water and wasting fuel (Ref. 1)
