I get into some of tight space water heater replacements, other than the mixed parts reviews does this work well in tight spaces

I have not used mine in any tight places, most of what I do is bench work. I wish I had had one years ago when I had a remodeling business, all I had for plumbing was an acetylene torch. Seems like it ought to be pretty hand for most of the tight places, sorry I can't give you anything from personal experience.

Yes - if the threads work on your new heater, it should be good. (Remember, some gas couplings have reverse threads.) If the threads don't match, you should be able to get an inexpensive adapter.

The instructions that come with it are very good. You can find a video on youtube to help you out more. MAKE SURE YOU UNPLUG THE WATER HEATER BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!!!

I don't like slowing down water flow in the tank. The heater should be kept in the main body of the tank. It works best there.

For a garage or a laundry room(which is where I have it), it is great. However, I do not believe this would be water tight. It is all metal and the seams don't fit snug enough or have any type of gasket to make them water tight. I would recommend something by Rubbermaid if you need to have it outside.

My water heater, in a loft, had little more than a foot of overhead clearance and I was able to jockey it in on an angle. Just remember to clean out the threaded opening, tape the thread of the new rod with teflon, and straighten the rod as you put it in.

I found it to be less than satisfactory in regards to heating water for much of anything... I ended up using it as a Point of Use booster on a existing hotwater line after Plumbing a hotwater line to the point where. I had purchased this unit for originally. I hope that gives you enough info to come to a conclusion.

We find a filter of this size adequate for our three bedroom house. Alas, we do not actually use *this* model. I purchased it, and then found that the threaded fittings I was using bottomed out before forming a tight seal. I ditched this filter and purchased another one locally.

Yes it should work but these heaters take additional time to heat the water so the nearer the unit is to the point of use the better

Fit well. I had replaced it a number of years ago and was very happy with the results,it did what itis to do. I am surprised more people do not know the benifits. Guess that sells water heaters.

Yes -- the heat it generates is not dissimilar to a very small space heater. It's nice in my basement.

It will work fine in a shower or other location with standard size fittings. You may have to deal with restraining the extra length of hose, though. I put it in a small shower, so I had to use cable ties to to secure the first few feet to a shower rack that hangs from the same fixture. Now it is "well-behaved" under pressure.

yes, it work fine either way. We have a turtle tank with 7" of water, we put a 18" or so heater horizontally, no problems, water temp stay constant.

It is very adequate. You probably need good pressure on the input side for this to work well. we had no issues with water pressure.

I've used this heater for a couple of weeks in my garage; not in an RV. However, I would not recommend it for any small or tightly closed space. It really sucks up the oxygen quickly. I find I need to open the garage door about 6" to run it for more than an hour or two to keep the air breathable. It doesn't put out any carbon monoxide, but still drains oxygen from the air very fast. Also, anything within about 5ft of the front of the heater will get very hot so it would be important to have clear space 180 deg around the front of it to prevent fires.

We used it for several winters and it worked fine for a waterer that fits..Probably depends on the outside temperatures in the area you live in and also how much water you are heating.

I have not had any of those issues personally. I only have the cold water hooked up at the moment because my bathroom is set up in an odd way so hooking up the hot is a bit tricky....we'll get to that eventually :) But for now, just using the cold water feature, my husband had no problem installing and there is no issue with fit or length of bolt for us. I couldn't reccomend this product more highly. I hope this helps :)'
