Product Overview
The Eemax EMT4 is a 4-gallon electric mini-tank water heater for point-of-use hot water at a compatible sink, lavatory, wet bar, breakroom, garage utility sink, or similar fixture. The unit stores a small volume of heated water near the point of use, which can reduce the wait caused by long hot-water runs from a central heater.
This model operates on 120V power and uses 1/2 in. NPT male water connections at the top of the unit. It may be installed as a nearby point-of-use heater or as a booster in a properly designed hot-water line when the application matches the manual. Confirm the available space, upright mounting location, electrical circuit, pressure requirements, drain routing for the included T&P relief valve, and expected hot-water demand before ordering. The tank must be filled and air purged from the plumbing before power is applied to avoid damaging the element. Follow the Eemax manual and applicable plumbing and electrical requirements.
