Isotemp Basic 40 Water Heater w/ Mixing Valve - 10.6 gal (w/ Dual Heat Exchangers)

With numerous sophisticated features, Isotemp Basic Water Heaters are anything but basic.
These versatile water heaters can be installed horizontally on a shelf or platform, as well as horizontally or vertically on a bulkhead.
Larger than the comparable Isotemp Slim models, they are available in five sizes – 6.3, 7.9, 10.6, 13.2 and 19.8 gallons.
All Isotemp Basic models are 15.6" in diameter, with lengths from 18.5" to 41.3".

Both of Isotherm's lines of premium water heaters - the Basic and Slim / Slim Square series - are purpose-designed for use on boats to make the best use of limited energy resources. They are made with only the highest-quality components to ensure the best performance and longevity in the marine enviornment.
These marine water heaters feature stainless steel water tanks as well as stainless steel cases for the ultimate in corrosion and rust resistance. Thick insulation helps keep hot water available at all times.
An innovative internal design places heat sources in the lowest part of the tank where the water is coldest. The domestic water inlet and outlet are specially designed to minimize the mixture of incoming cold and outgoing hot water within the unit.

Electrical Heating at the Dock —
Isotemp Water Heaters are equipped with a nickel-plated copper electric heating element and an electrical thermostat set at 167°F (75°C) - hot enough to prevent bacterial growth. A thermal cut-out feature protects against overheating should the tank run dry.

Engine Heating While Underway —
These heaters also include a 316 stainless steel engine water heat exchanger coil to use engine coolant to heat the boat’s domestic water.
When underway, the domestic water in the tank reaches the same temperature as the engine water – around boiling. To prevent accidental scalding, Fisheries Isotemp Water Heaters include an innovative, user-settable Temperature Control Valve (safety thermostatic mixing valve) that regulates the temperature of the water coming out of the tank to between 100°F and 150°F (38-65°C).
This valve automatically mixes outgoing hot water with cold water from the boat’s water tanks and is easily adjustable with the turn of a knob. No tools required.
This feature also extends the capacity of onboard hot water by using only a fraction of the water in the tank to produce the desired water temperature.

Features –
• Quickly and effectively heats water via the engine or an electrical heating element if the boat is connected to shore power
• Extra-long, corrugated coils for maximal engine heat exchange and faster heating – especially advantageous for sailboats
• Both heating components are located near the cold water ingress for maximum heating efficiency
• Position and design of inlet and outlet ports minimnizes the mixture of already heated water with incoming cold water
• Constructed with an acid-resistant 316 stainless steel water tank and a brushed 304 stainless steel cabinet to avoid the rust and flaking commonly seen on heaters with steel cabinets
• All models sold by Fisheries Supply are supplied with a thermostatic temperature mixing valve as a safety feature to prevent scalding injuries
• Thick expanded polyurethane insulation for lowest heat loss
• 750W / 115V AC electric immersion heating element is overload protected; 230V AC option available
• Pressure relief safety valve rated at 100 psi (7 bar)
• Simple winter drain for below-freezing temperatures
• Simple plug-in design with a power cable and USA plug
• Strong, stable stainless steel mounting feet can rotate 360° for platform or bulkhead installation
• Outstanding 2-year manufacturer marine warranty covers repairs and labor, while a 5-year limited warranty covers the inner tank and heat exchange coil for leakage

Installation –
• Dimensions in Spec Table are overall, and include the ports and mixing valve
• Plumbing connections are all externally threaded ½” NPT; except hot water outlet at Mixing Valve is external ½” BSP thread
• Double heat exchangers option is available for the Basic 24, 40 and 75 models – with the ports for the second heat exchanger located near the standard heat exchanger connections
• For horizontal installations only: 1200W electrical element option for Basic 40, 50 & 75 models; 2000W element for Basic 50 & 75 230V models
