What it delivers
The Westinghouse ES015A1G 1.5-Gallon Mini-Tank Water Heater is a mini-tank heater holding 1.5 gallons, rated at 1.44 kW on 120 volts.
It stores a few gallons of hot water right at the fixture, so the tap runs hot at once instead of waiting for the main heater.
At 120 volts it plugs into or wires to an ordinary household circuit, which is why mini tanks are a common retrofit.
Also on the listing: material: Glass-Lined; model: ES015A1G.
The listing gives dimensions of 10.1 in (W) x 15.7 in (H), a weight of 11 lb and instruction manual x 1 in the box.
