    Questions for plumber and electricians-water heater

    I am looking to install a mini electric water heater from Bosch at our camp and I have a few questions.
    Plumbing-The manual that came with the unit says to use 1/2 inch NPT hose. Is that the same as FIP?

    Electric——-This is a small unit (3 to 4 gallons).......will anything need to be upgraded electrically? (Breakers, etc). The unit just plugs in to a normal wall socket.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    NPT is male, FIP is female in regards to the threads.
    Yes it will run off standard receptacle.

          if you have propane i would consider a small tankless... $110-$140 heats up quicker and no power usage when not in use, they also have 110v models
