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 white metal hinge door. Now if you're wondering what the differences are between the InstaShower 7, this 8 Plus and the 8 Pro, be sure to take a look at this product page on the lower portion of the page. We have provided for you very good summaries of each of those water heaters so you can decide which one is going to work best for your particular application. But this 8 Plus is a tankless water heater. It's gonna have higher BTUs for more effectively heating cold water.
This 55,000 BTU heater is going to heat 2.9 gallons per minute, which is greater than the average water flow of an RV shower. This standard size 15 inch wide by 15 inch tall, white hinged metal door with this flat lock is going to give you easy access for cleaning or maintaining this water heater. Larger sizes are available when replacing a tank water heater with a bigger access door, on your screen, I'm including the other doors, the different sizes and different colors that are available with this 8 Plus water heater. So take a look at those options and if you're looking for one that's larger in a different color, you can just take that etrailer part number that you see there on your screen, pop it in the search field of our website, and that will take you to that option that you're looking for. But the water heater's going to be exactly the same with all of those options.
You're just gonna have either different door size or different color. So you do have those options there available for you. Now the efficient propane burner is going to heat water only when you use your faucets or shower. Again, the higher BTUs are gonna 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 as you can see, it's gonna close and lock very easily with that flat lock.
Now this also includes this wall controller that you see right here. This has a digital display that's going to let you adjust the temperature and show diagnostic error codes. The temperature settings are from 95 degrees to 123 degrees Fahrenheit, and the water pressure is from 14.5 to 116 PSI. The preferred pressure is gonna be from 40 to 45 PSI. The internal safety components are gonna protect you, your family, and your RV, for instance, this will automatically cut off the gas if flame goes out to prevent leaks in your RV.
So again, the size of this door, standard size 15 inches wide, 15 inches tall. The size of the water heater itself, this is gonna be right at about 13 inches wide, 13 inches tall. And then the depth of just the water heater itself, 13-13/16" deep. If you add the door to that depth, about 14-5/16" deep. This is going to be a relatively simple installation with the included hardware that you see here. And this is going to use your existing lines and cutout. And I do wanna point out that a temperature and pressure relief valve are required for installation. Those are not included with this kit, and so you will have to provide that separately. Instructions are also going to be included with this to guide you through the installation process, and you will need additional cutout depth just to make your connections. Well, 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.
