Rheem RTG 7.0 GPM 160,000 BTU Liquid Propane Indoor Non-Condensing Tankless Water Heater (.82 UEF)

High Efficiency Non-Condensing Tankless Gas Water Heater

The Rheem RTG Series is a high-efficiency, non-condensing tankless gas water heater designed for residential applications. Depending on the model, the unit provides up to 199,900 BTU/h of gas input, a maximum flow rate of up to 9.5 GPM at a 35°F temperature rise, and a 0.82 Uniform Energy Factor (UEF).

Easy Installation

The Rheem RTG Series features an enhanced design that is up to 10% smaller and 22% lighter, helping simplify handling and installation. The unit offers up to 43 feet of vent run capability and universal venting compatibility with select approved venting systems, making it suitable for new installations and compatible tankless water heater replacements.

A 1/2-inch side-to-side clearance provides added installation flexibility in tight spaces. The series also supports 1/2-inch gas-line compatibility, subject to local code requirements and installation conditions.

Rheem's exclusive Hot-Start Programming keeps the unit in a ready state between back-to-back hot-water usage, helping minimize cold-water bursts.

Precise Temperature Control

The Rheem RTG Series offers an adjustable temperature range of 100°F to 140°F, with a factory temperature setting of 120°F. The unit has a minimum activation flow of 0.4 GPM and a minimum continuous flow of 0.26 GPM.

Durable Heat Exchanger

The Rheem RTG Series features a copper primary heat exchanger for on-demand water heating. The non-condensing design does not use the stainless-steel secondary heat exchanger found in certain condensing models. The series also provides freeze protection down to -30°F intake air temperature and -4°F ambient temperature, under the conditions specified by Rheem.

Ultra Low NOx

The Rheem RTG Series meets 14 ng/J NOx requirements and is SCAQMD Rule 1146.2 compliant.

Built-In Digital Display

The Rheem RTG Series features a built-in digital display for convenient system control and temperature adjustment. It operates on a 120V, 60Hz power supply, with maximum power consumption of 85W during normal use, 132W during antifreeze operation, and 3.5W in standby.

Smart Controls & Leak Protection Available on Select Models

The RTG-95DVELN-3 and RTG-95DVELP-3 feature built-in EcoNet Wi-Fi technology and the LeakGuard Leak Detection and Prevention System. These features provide connected control and added protection against leaks originating from the water heater. They are not included on the RTG-70DVLN-3, RTG-70DVLP-3, RTG-84DVLN-3, RTG-84DVLP-3, RTG-95DVLN-3, or RTG-95DVLP-3.

Indoor Installation

All eight models are designed for indoor installation. As non-condensing tankless water heaters, they do not require the condensate connection used by condensing models. Each unit uses a 3/4-inch NPT gas connection, a 3/4-inch NPT hot-water connection, and a 3/4-inch NPT cold-water connection. Installation must follow the applicable model's instructions and local codes.

Flexible Venting Options

The Rheem RTG indoor series supports approved 3-inch by 5-inch concentric venting with a maximum straight-pipe vent run of up to 43 feet. Approved venting materials and configurations must follow Rheem's installation instructions. The maximum allowable vent length decreases when elbows are used.

Warranty

The Rheem RTG Series includes a 15-year limited heat exchanger warranty, a 5-year parts warranty, and a 1-year labor warranty, subject to the manufacturer's warranty terms and conditions.

Requirements & Considerations

• Fuel Type – Available in Natural Gas (NG) and Liquid Propane (LP) configurations. Models ending in N are for Natural Gas; models ending in P are for Liquid Propane.
• Electrical Requirements – Requires a 120V, 60Hz electrical supply.
• Gas Connection – Uses a 3/4-inch NPT gas connection.
• Water Connections – Uses 3/4-inch NPT hot-water and cold-water connections.
• Venting Requirements – Designed for indoor installation with approved 3-inch by 5-inch concentric venting. The maximum single straight-pipe vent run is 43 feet; allowable vent length varies with the vent configuration and number of elbows. Use Rheem-approved venting materials and follow the installation manual.
• Installation Clearances – Rheem specifies 12 inches at the top and bottom, 1/2 inch at the sides, and 0 inches at the back and from the vent pipe. A 1/2-inch front clearance is specified, with 24 inches recommended for servicing.
• Maximum Installation Altitude – Rated for installations up to 7,800 feet above sea level. Follow Rheem's installation instructions for altitude-related adjustments.
• Non-Condensing Design – These models use a non-condensing design and do not require the condensate drain connection used by condensing tankless water heaters.
• Installation Requirements – Installation must comply with the applicable model's installation manual, local building and plumbing codes, and fuel-gas requirements.
