Shows they are the same height...weird.

Surprising that no one else has posted a "real" reply.


Water heaters are either "short" or "tall". Where I am, the "tall"
ones are the most common. I have never seen a heater over 40 gallons
that is available as a "short", so it is a little puzzling why Lowe's
called the one "tall" in their info, because, to my knowledge, they
don't make a 50 gallon "short".


This is probably why the 1st one you listed doesn't say short or tall.


Hope this clears things up.

How many 50 or 75 gallon short water heaters would you like?


Yeah you're right. I should have googled it. Just because all the 50
gallon and up water heaters that I have seen are tall (standard)
doesn't mean that they don't make 'em.

Thanks for not calling me an idiot, although I probably deserved it.



You're welcome. :-)
