The 96136 (GH6-8E SP) is a six-gallon gas water heater with heat exchanger from Atwood. Atwood water heaters are 14 pounds lighter than competitive brands, so they are easier to install or remove and lighten the load your RV carries.
This Atwood gas water heater can also operate from an electric source. That gives you the versatility, convenience and savings to run it off an electrical hook-up or a generator. The heat exchanger in this heater provides additional value by transferring heat from your engine's cooling system to the water heater.
Accessible serviceable components through the exterior door ensure convenient maintenance, while the inclusion of multiple protection features like a high-temperature limit switch, thermostat, and pressure and temperature relief valve enhances safety. The externally sealed combustion chamber keeps the unit clean. Atwood water heaters are designed for pre-skin installation, allowing installation and testing on the coach floor before sidewalls are set. With electronic ignition and an aluminum-clad tank, these water heaters offer durability and weight reduction. Durable, powder-coated access doors are also included for added longevity.
