In this video I show you how to install a Rheem indoor propane tankless water heater. I wish is was a little bit more plug and play but in this video I'll go over the major steps you need to take and what materials you'll need to install your tankless water heater. Overall I really love Rheem tankless water heater the only con is waiting for the water to hit my guest bathroom because it's so far away from the unit. I hope you enjoyed the video, thank you for your time and thank you for watching.

I love the amount of detail you give. I am in the process of installing a Rinnai Tankless. One day I am confident, the next, I am stressed out and filled with self-doubt. I calm down when I begin to watch this and other good KZfaq videos. I am taking it slow. Thank you.

Yes, but he completely avoids the energy source discussion. If he is truly an “off grid” installation, as his video title says, then his energy source is most likely propane (as a natural gas installation would indicate that he’s not truly “off grid”).

This was an exact replacement for the old one that lasted about 10 years. kzfaq.infoUgkx7yWIKcrbA9KMHkGSfcgxW2lsjHT6B8Sh The top of my mitigation tube by my roofline was just a 90 elbow which allowed too much debris to fall down into the fan, eventually ruining it. Without this issue, I bet it would have kept running another 10 years. When I replaced this fan, I added an extra elbow joint so the top tube now it does a 180, which should solve that problem. The radon guys around here wanted to charge me a $300 diagnostic fee, then parts/labor (probably close to $600 total). I installed this all by myself in about an hour for the cost of the fan; it would probably be even easier/faster with two people. FYI the manufacturer's warranty greatly differs depending on whether you install it yourself (1 yr warranty) or have a licensed installer do it (10 yrs).

Great job. And thanks for the details on getting code right. If I were you, I'd mount a PEX manifold in that closet, alongside the water heater, and get rid of all that polybutylene pipe.

@lionelscott5839 6 ай бұрын

I have found that if you hold the pex pipe it is possible to tighten the adapter into the fitting to prevent leak. I have even unthreaded so more pipe dope or Teflon tape can be applied.

You need to get rid of all the grey poly and replace with pex, before it splits and flooded your house. Any grey plastic water line in any house throughout America, you need to get it replaced asap

Very nice video for DIY project.👏👏 I am planning to replace it very soon but it is confusing with the gas connection. I assumed your propane gas coming from the big house tank which has a first stage regulator and pressure could be about 10 PSI. But the most tankless water heater required less than 1/2 PSI. The following paragraph is coming from the manual "The new heater requires the Min 8.0"WC(1.99kPa)- Max 13.0" WC(3.23kPa=1/2 PSI). If the heater's gas supply pressure is greater than the specified maximum, a pressure regulator is required. The regulator must reduce the gas pressure to within acceptable limits' ' And my old 40-gallon water installed in the second gas regulator. Would you please explain how you did? Thanks in advance. John

@jkk040 11 ай бұрын

It is correct that the second stage gas regulator for the old water heater is reduced from 10psi on the first stage of the regulator to 1/2 psi. I had a second stage regulator for an old 40 gallon water heater that I utilized for tankless water as seen in the video. Probably you have the same second stage regulator on an existing water heater that you can use for tankless water in my opinion.

@lantzinterprizes9238 Жыл бұрын

Great video, my only concern is that the electrical outlet is below the piping. If pipes leak or break at any point, water will run down the electrical cord and to the outlet. I'm not an electrician, so I don't know if that's a thing or not. Just pointing out the obvious worse-case scenario.

The Rheem kit is $79 @ Home Depot. This video see to be a year old but also the price. One significant issue....this video doesn't explains the reason not to use you existing vent. Fiberboard Made from compressed fiberglass strands bonded with resin, then covered with foil laminate to protect from moisture. This type of duct is well insulated and is a popular choice for heating and cooling systems. However, dust and debris can get trapped in the crevices, which may affect long term air quality and efficiency. Galvanized steel Has a zinc coating that helps prevent rusting. Fiberglass Metal ducts with fiberglass lining on the interior or exterior. The fiberglass helps as a sound and thermal insulator. Spiral ducts Made from galvanized steel sheets, this rigid metal ducting is commonly used for heating and ventilation, air-conditioning, commercial kitchens, and dust and fume extraction. The spiral shape enables a smooth airstream surface with almost no drag or resistance.

Not sure if i would put an electrical outlet below the heater in case of water leaks. Also, probably better to use sharkbites for pex fittings instead of crimp. They are easier to unhook if necessary plus they seal better.

Why so shy about telling us about the gas source? You say this is an “off grid” install. To me, that likely means there is NO natural gas availability. Please give us another video which discusses your propane (vs Natural Gas) supply to your Rennai Tankless Water Heater.

Save few bucks during Installation, then when Maintenance needs done, plumber charges you way more than you saved to get them in to flush the unit
