Suburban tankless freeze protection or voltage protection

Use this when a Suburban IW60, IW60RL, ST-42, or ST-60 on-demand water heater has freeze-protection behavior, winterizing concerns, or low/high 12V protection.

Owner-safe checklist

  • Do not rely on freeze protection as a substitute for winterizing the entire RV water system.
  • Drain or winterize the system before storage in freezing temperatures according to the Suburban and RV instructions.
  • Record whether gas and electrical power were available, whether the unit dripped water in cold weather, and whether coach voltage was below 10VDC or above 17VDC.
  • Call qualified service for repeated voltage protection, freeze-related leaks, pressure-relief discharge, or any work behind a service panel.
