Contractors know the struggle of wrestling heavy units into tight spaces. For easy-breezy installs—Vaughn Featherweight Thermoplastic (FW Series) water heaters. Ultra-light construction under 150 lbs and top-mount connections make installs no sweat. Each Vaughn FW tank passes accelerated testing that simulates over 40 years of use. The thermoplastic lining provides full interior coverage at a minimum 0.125-inch thickness, 25 times thicker than glass. This means no need for an anode rod, a part that requires regular replacement.

Built from polybutene and polypropylene NSF-61 material, the FW tank resists corrosion and stays water-quality neutral. Our Featherweight units deliver lasting performance with less bulk. Available in our PF Indirect, MP Electric, VG-MP V-Grid enabled, CP Aqua Booster storage, and HP Heat Pump (hybrid) water heaters.
