What it delivers
The WINTEMP YQ-WN11K 11 kW Electric Tankless Water Heater is a compact electric tankless rated at 11 kW on 240 volts. Its listing gives a maximum flow of 2.6 GPM.
At a 45°F rise (mild inlet water to a 120°F set point) it holds about 1.7 GPM, less than one 2 GPM shower; in winter, at a 70°F rise, about 1.1 GPM, less than one 2 GPM shower. Try your own inlet temperature.
At 240 volts 11 kW is about 46 amps (the listing states 46 A). The maker calls for 1 x 50 Amp DP breakers. Whether your panel can carry it alongside heating and cooking loads is an electrician's call.
Electric tankless units need no venting and no gas, and work best where inlet water stays mild, because every degree of rise costs flow.
From the listing: features: Fire-retardant ABS casing, LED Display, Temperature Lock; connections: 1/2" npt; material: Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene; model: YQ-WN11K; warranty: 2-year.
The listing gives dimensions of 9.7 in (W) x 14 in (H) and a weight of 8.6 lb.
Warranty, per the listing: 2-year.
