This 12L portable LPG gas instant hot water heater delivers continuous hot water for outdoor showers at campsites, caravans, 4WD setups, and remote properties. Certified to Australian AS2658 standard, it operates at low water pressure (from 15kPa), supports a flow rate of up to 520L per hour, and features a pure copper water tank and LED digital temperature display for precise, real-time temperature control.
Battery-ignited (2 x D-size batteries), wall or post-mountable via the carry handle, and complete with all accessories included.
Australian AS2658 Certified
This unit is qualified to the Australian AS2658 gas appliance standard, providing assurance of safety and compliance for use in Australia. The certification covers the gas valve, burner, and safety shut-off systems.
Pure Copper Water Tank
The internal water tank is made from pure copper for superior heat transfer, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. Copper heats water rapidly and maintains consistent temperature output even at varying flow rates.
LED Digital Temperature Display
The front-panel LED digital display shows the real-time water temperature so you can dial in your preferred shower temperature precisely. Separate Gas Control and Water Control dials give independent adjustment of heat output and flow rate. A Winter/Summer mode switch optimises performance for ambient temperature conditions.
Low Pressure Operation — From 15kPa
Operates at water pressures as low as 15kPa, making it suitable for gravity-fed water systems, camping water tanks, and low-pressure setups common in off-grid and remote locations. Maximum flow rate: 520L per hour.
Automatic Safety Shut-Off
Built-in safety systems include:
- Anti-dumping device — gas automatically shuts off if the unit falls or is knocked over
- Waterproof device — gas shuts off if the unit is exposed to water ingress
- Over-temperature protection — prevents overheating
Battery Ignition — No Pilot Light Required
Ignition is powered by 2 x D-size batteries (not included). No pilot light, no manual ignition — the unit lights automatically when water flow is detected.
