Question:

I have a gas water model number 6arv originally made from american appliance mfg. Corp. I am needing to replace the entire unit and Im looking for something with the same dimensions for an easy replacement install. The dimensions are 12 3/4inch height by 12 3/4inch width. I believe the length of the unit is 17. Is there a comparable model that you carry?

Since nothing we offer matches the dimensions you need perfectly your best option is to go with a slightly larger water heater and then open up the dimensions you have to allow it to fit like the Atwood Water Heater part # AT96121 which measures 12-1/2L x 16W x 18D Inch. This is a 6 gallon gas water heater that has an automatic lighting pilot.
