Heatrae Sadia Express 7 Oversink Vented Water Heater 1kW – 95.010.160

The Heatrae Sadia Express 7 Oversink Water Heater 95.010.160 provides a convenient seven-litre supply of stored hot water for sinks and basins. Its tough steel case makes it suitable for regular use in domestic, commercial and workplace settings.

A 1kW heating element heats the stored water while placing less demand on the electrical supply than the 3kW version. Therefore, this model may suit locations where rapid recovery is less important or where a lower-powered heater is preferred.

The Express 7 comes with a spout and valve for oversink installation. In addition, its adjustable thermostat, dry-start cut-out and long-life alloy-sheathed element support safe and straightforward everyday use.

Important: This product is a vented water heater. The supplied outlet and spout arrangement must remain open to the atmosphere. Therefore, it must not operate as a sealed or pressurised unvented system.

• 1 x oversink spout

The standard package provides the main components needed for oversink installation. However, the installer may need extra pipework, electrical controls or alternative fixings to suit the property.

Where Can You Use the Express 7?

The Heatrae Sadia Express 7 provides local hot water where demand remains relatively low. Its strong outer case makes it suitable for locations that need regular handwashing or light washing-up facilities.

• Office kitchens and staff rooms
• Workshops and garages
• Shops and retail premises
• Commercial washrooms
• Schools and community buildings
• Domestic utility rooms
• Garages and outbuildings
• Sinks located far from the main hot water system

This seven-litre model works best for point-of-use sinks and basins. However, it does not provide enough stored hot water for standard showers, baths or other high-demand applications.

Why Choose the 1kW Express 7?

The 1kW model draws less power than the 3kW Express 7. As a result, it may suit applications with modest hot water demand where users do not need the faster recovery offered by the higher-powered version.

However, the 1kW element takes longer to reheat the tank than the 3kW model. Therefore, consider how often people will use the outlet before choosing between the two versions.

Adjustable Water Temperature

The adjustable thermostat provides a temperature range from approximately 5°C to 75°C. Consequently, users can select a suitable setting for the application.

Nevertheless, very hot water can cause scalding. The installer should assess the outlet temperature and fit suitable temperature controls where children, older people or other vulnerable users may use the sink.

Oversink or Undersink Installation?

This product page covers an oversink installation using the supplied spout and valve. The heater sits above the sink and releases expanding water safely through its open outlet.

The Express range can also support certain undersink arrangements. However, undersink installation requires a compatible Heatrae Sadia vented tap pack and suitable accessories. Always confirm the planned arrangement before ordering.

Understanding a Vented Water Heater

A vented water heater does not store water under mains pressure. Instead, the inlet valve controls water entering the tank while the outlet remains open to the atmosphere through the correct spout or vented tap.

As the water heats and expands, small amounts may drip from the spout. This behaviour can be normal. Therefore, users must never block the outlet, fit a restrictive attachment or connect the heater as a sealed unvented system.

Why Choose the Heatrae Sadia Express Range?

The Express range combines a tough metal case, simple controls and dependable point-of-use water heating. As a result, it provides a practical solution for busy domestic and light commercial environments.

First, the adjustable thermostat provides control over the water temperature. Next, the dry-start cut-out helps protect the unit if someone switches it on before filling the tank. Finally, Heatrae Sadia designs, engineers and manufactures the Express range in the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Heatrae Sadia Express 7 vented or unvented?

The Express 7 is a vented water heater. Therefore, its outlet must remain open to the atmosphere through the supplied spout or a compatible vented tap.

What is the capacity of the Express 7?

The heater stores approximately seven litres of water. It suits sinks, basins and other light point-of-use applications.

How powerful is this model?

Model 95.010.160 contains a 1kW heating element. It draws less power but reheats the stored water more slowly than the 3kW model.

What is the difference between the 1kW and 3kW models?

Both versions store seven litres and have the same dimensions. However, the 3kW model reheats water more quickly, while this 1kW version places less demand on the electrical supply.
