All units operate on propane gas.
A pre-set thermostat set for 140° F. An aftermarket retro-fit adjustable thermostat is available and
adjustable from 110° to 150° F.
A heat exchange option is available. The water heater tank must have factory equipped heat exchange
tubes welded on it already. They cannot be added later. A new water heater tank with this feature must be
installed to use the heat exchanger.
Skin mounting allows the water heater to be hooked up with plumbing and electrical before the sidewall is
erected.
This heater has a comparable, if not superior, anode type protection for the tank. The tank is manufactured
with a clad aluminum lining that protects against corrosion but does not need to be replaced yearly as an
anode rod. A more detailed explanation of cladding is found in the back of this manual.
95% of all servicing is done on the outside of the water heater. 110 VAC heating components are the
exception. Since they are located on the back of the water heater inside the trailer.
A flush flange is available for all models. This makes the access door flush with the sidewall.
There are multiple protection features in the form of a pressure-temperature relief valve, a limit switch in
the gas thermostat and an externally sealed combustion chamber.
Both the six and ten gallon units have the lightest weight in the industry.
On all trailers purchased after June 1, 1997 the Atwood Limited Warranty is for a period of two years. This
includes all reasonable labor charges.
