The “1700 Series” water
heater provides
hot water for galley and
shower. Dense foam
insulation provides
better and longer heat
retention than
traditional fiberglass. The tank
itself is protected by a
75 PSI T& P ( temperature
and pressure) relief
valve. The cylindrical
design of the tank
enables it to withstand
more pressure than a
cube shaped tank.
Heat exchanger models
can be connected
to the engine cooling
system. This provides
the added convenience of
hot water when
underway or generator
power is not available.
The innovative heat
exchanger is over seven
feet in length and is
evenly coiled throughout
the interior of the
tank, providing hot water
rapidly and efficiently.
Raritan’s water heaters
use an ignition
protected thermostat.
Although it is factory
set to 120°F, it is
adjustable from 110° to
160°F and has a safety
shut down limit of
190°F. All models and
sizes have the plumbing
connections on the same
side to simplify
installation. Hot and
cold water connections
are ¾" male NPT
(National Pipe Thread). Heat
exchanger connections
are ¾" female NPT.
