Fogatti's tankless hot water heaters are popular for being efficient and quality options, but which model would be best for you? Let me give you a quick summary:
Fogatti 7: Lower Btus and lower flow rate compared to the 8s. This can be a good pick, though, because that means you're using less propane to heat water. If you aren't trying to heat very cold water, and you don't expect that anyone else is going to be using hot water while you're in the shower, then this will be a perfectly fine option, especially if you use low-flow fixtures for conserving water. I'd recommend it for solo campers or couples who almost never camp in cold months.
Fogatti 8 Plus: Higher Btus and flow rate while being the same size as the 7. You'll get slightly better performance, and it will be more effective at heating colder water. The extra flow rate won't necessarily allow you to run both a faucet and a shower at the same time without noticing a difference, since both fixtures can use 2.5 gallons per minute. But if you have a higher-flow shower head, this can keep up better. I'd recommend it if you're likely to camp when it gets chilly overnight and want a little extra performance.
Fogatti 8 Pro: This is the same as the 8 Plus, with the addition of a water mixing tank. This tank adds a few more inches to its depth, but that generally won't be much of an issue, especially if you're replacing a water heater with a tank. I'd recommend it if any variance in water temperature is going to really annoy you.

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at this Fogatti Instashower 8 Plus RV tankless water heater with this black metal hinge door. Now if you are wondering what the differences are between the Instashower 7, 8 plus that we have here or the 8 Pro, take a closer look at this product page near the lower half of this page and we have provided some really good summaries of each of those water heaters for you. So you can take a look at those summaries and make a determination as to the best water heater that's gonna work for your particular application. Now this 8 Plus water heater is a tankless water heater that has higher BTUs for more effectively heating cold water.
This 55,000 BTU heater is going to heat 2.9 gallons of water per minute, which is greater than the average water flow of an RV shower. This larger size black metal hinge door with this flat lock is going to give you easy access for cleaning or maintaining this water heater. As you can see, this is going to open up very easily and close very easily, and you're gonna have plenty of access to the inside of this water heater. This door is sized for replacing a 10 or 16 gallon tank water heater with an 18 inch by 18 inch access door. Now other sizes and colors are available for this water heater.
On your screen, I am including a little chart there just showing you the different color and sizes of doors that will work with this 8 plus water heater. So you can see the bolded number there at the bottom. That's the one that we're currently looking at. But if you're interested in a smaller size door with the different color, you can just take the eTrailer part number that you see there on that chart, pop it in the search field or our website, and that will take you to the particular door size and color that you are looking for. Now, the efficient propane burner is going to heat the water only when you're using your faucets or shower.
And the higher BTUs, as I mentioned, are going to make this a great choice in cold weather or for using a lot of hot water at once. The pilot ignition type is automatic and this does feature this wall controller with a digital display. It's going to let you adjust the temperature and also show diagnostic error codes. The temperature setting's from 95 degrees to 123 degrees Fahrenheit. The water pressure is gonna be 14 and a half to 116 PSI.
The preferred pressure is gonna be 40 to 45 PSI. Now this does feature internal safety components that are designed to protect you, your family, and your RV. For instance, this is going to automatically shut off the gas if the flame goes out to prevent leaks in your RV. And again, you can just see how easily this flat lock is gonna be to operate. Just rotate that and position it down or lift it up and rotate it to open it. Now, just some overall dimensions. As I mentioned, our door here is 18 inches wide, 18 inches tall. The measurement of our water heater is gonna be 13 inches wide, 13 inches tall. And then the overall depth of the cooler, of the heater itself rather, without our door is going to be right at about 13 and 13/16 inches deep and with the door about 14 and 5/16 inches deep. So this is gonna be a relatively simple installation with the included hardware and it's gonna use your existing lines and cutout. I do wanna point out that a temperature and pressure relief valve are required for installation. They are not included with this. And an additional cutout depth is gonna be needed to make those connections. An installation guide, installation operation manual rather, is included with this. And I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that our time together was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
