1700 Series Water Heater
120v
20 Gallon
W/O Engine Heat Exchanger
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 3/4" male NPT (National Pipe Thread). Heat exchanger connections are 3/4" female NPT.

This model is part of the 1700 Series and does not include an engine heat exchanger. It features a cylindrical, glass-lined steel tank, which is designed to withstand higher pressure compared to square tanks and offers enhanced durability. The tank is insulated with dense, CFC-free foam for improved heat retention. Plumbing connections, including 3/4" male NPT for hot and cold water, are located on one side to simplify installation. An ignition-protected thermostat is adjustable from 110�F to 160�F, with a safety shutdown at 190�F. This unit is suitable for marine environments, offering a corrosion-resistant polymer jacket and a replaceable magnesium anode to protect the tank. It provides a reliable hot water solution for vessels without the need for engine cooling system integration.
