The Eccotemp EL5 is a portable liquid propane fi red 

tankless water heater capable of delivering 1 to 1.5 gallons 

of hot water per minute to almost anywhere. The portable 

tankless water heater has standard 1/2” NPT pipe fi ttings

water supply. People around the world use similar portable 

tankless water heaters to heat water for recreational use, 

safely and reliably. 

Required gas supply should be from a standard 20 pound 

liquid propane cylinder (not included). Included with your

producing instant hot water! No pilot light! Ideal water 

pressure for operation is 20-80 psi.

The EL5 has a built-in tilt switch that will automatically
