Understanding Tankless Water Heater Sizing

Tankless water heaters are sized by flow rate, measured in gallons per minute (GPM), and temperature rise. Flow rate refers to the amount of hot water the unit can deliver per minute. Temperature rise is the difference between the incoming cold-water temperature and the desired hot-water temperature.

For the Rheem RTG-95DVLP-3, Rheem's RTG-95 series specifications list maximum flow rates of 9.5 GPM at a 35°F temperature rise, 7.4 GPM at a 45°F temperature rise, and 5.0 GPM at a 67°F temperature rise. Available flow rate decreases as the required temperature rise increases. Actual performance depends on incoming water temperature, gas supply, selected water temperature, and operating conditions.

Understanding Tankless Water Heater Sizing

Rheem's published RTG-95 indoor series flow-rate chart lists maximum flow rates of 9.5 GPM at a 35°F temperature rise, 7.4 GPM at a 45°F temperature rise, and 5.0 GPM at a 67°F temperature rise. Available flow rate decreases as the required temperature rise increases. Actual performance depends on incoming water temperature, gas supply, selected water temperature, and operating conditions.
