What it delivers
The FOGATTI FDES-ET40G 4-Gallon Mini-Tank Water Heater is a mini-tank heater holding 4 gallons, rated at 1.44 kW on 120 volts.
Small tanks like this serve one sink or a wet bar: hot water on demand from storage, reheated between uses.
At 120 volts it plugs into or wires to an ordinary household circuit, which is why mini tanks are a common retrofit.
From the listing: features: Easy to Install, Pressure Release Valve; connections: 1/2" npt; material: SPGC; model: FDES-ET40G.
The listing gives dimensions of 14.96 in (W) x 18.5 in (H) and a weight of 20 lb.
