Compact point-of-use hot water for single-sink setups

The Westinghouse 2.5-gallon mini tank is designed as a dedicated hot water source for one sink, whether in a bathroom, kitchen, or RV. It heats and stores water, delivering ready hot water for handwashing, dish rinsing, or other small tasks without spanning your entire home’s plumbing. This approach can help you enjoy on-site warmth without the complexity of a whole-house system.

A flame-retardant housing supports damp environments while safeguarding surrounding areas.

Efficient heating and temperature control

With a 1440 W heating element and a broad thermostat range, you can tailor hot water to your preferences.

Easy installation and space-saving design

Measuring 13.39 inches tall by 13.39 inches wide and 11.42 inches deep, this compact unit fits tight spaces under cupboards and sinks. It ships with a complete mounting kit and uses standard 1/2 inch NPT water connections with a dedicated 3/4 inch NPT TP valve port.

Long-term value and upkeep

Maintenance is straightforward thanks to a magnesium anode rod that benefits from an annual inspection to help prevent corrosion. The combination of safe operation features and robust construction aims to deliver reliable hot water for years in damp or compact spaces where a full-size heater isn’t practical.
