A water heating appliance designed for installation in locations with limited vertical space, is typically characterized by its shorter, wider profile. These units are often selected when standard-sized heaters cannot be accommodated due to height restrictions, such as in attics, crawl spaces, or under counters.
The reduced height offers a practical solution for situations where available space is a primary concern, allowing for hot water access in environments that would otherwise be unsuitable. This design approach enables greater flexibility in placement and can simplify installation in confined areas, contributing to more efficient use of available building space. Its development has addressed a specific need in construction and renovation projects, providing an alternative to traditional water heaters when spatial limitations exist.
