Raritan 171201 12-Gallon Marine Water Heater with Heat Exchanger and Adjustable Thermostat

The Raritan 171201 12-gallon marine water heater is designed to reliably supply hot water for galley and shower applications aboard boats. Its dense foam insulation ensures superior heat retention compared to traditional fiberglass models, helping to conserve energy and maintain consistent water temperatures. The cylindrical tank construction provides enhanced durability and pressure resistance, making it suitable for the demanding marine environment. Equipped with a 75 PSI T&P relief valve, this water heater offers safety and peace of mind during operation. Its straightforward plumbing connections on the same side streamline installation, and the unit's corrosion-resistant polymer jacket ensures long-lasting performance in damp conditions. The glass-lined steel tank combines durability with efficiency, while the environmentally friendly CFC-free foam insulation minimizes environmental impact. The magnesium anode inside the tank helps protect against corrosion by neutralizing acids in the water, extending the product’s lifespan. This model includes an ignition-protected thermostat, factory preset to 120°F but adjustable between 110°F and 160°F, with a safety shutoff at 190°F for added security. An optional heat exchanger allows connection to the engine cooling system, providing hot water on the go without relying solely on shore power. The heat exchanger, over seven feet long and evenly coiled within the tank, ensures rapid and efficient heating, making this unit ideal for boats that require consistent hot water supply during underway or generator use. Raritan’s long-established reputation for quality is reflected in the proven durability and high-performance features of this water heater, which is assembled by hand, individually tested, and backed by a five-year limited warranty on the tank and a two-year warranty on the complete unit. Its design incorporates a replaceable magnesium anode for corrosion protection and features a corrosion-resistant polymer jacket for added longevity. Suitable for a variety of marine pressure systems, this water heater combines ease of installation, safety, and efficiency to meet the demands of boat owners seeking reliable hot water solutions.
