Don't know how that would work on a tankless water heater since it's only on when you call for hot water. I've done loops before from a hot water tank which was on a pump that would turn on in the mornings and evenings. It worked great but using the same setup here would only cause the tankless system to run nonstop.
What is your gas line pressure regulated to I had to put a 11” WC regulator just before my unit because the 2 psi that the rest of the gas system is was too much pressure for the unit
I can't remember what it was set to but do remember having to turn it up to get enough pressure to everything. We have a propane generator, boiler, stove, clothes dryer, and the instant hot water heater. Plus I ran a line to the camper if needed.
Did you have to run a condensate trap (or trap loop) off the top collar that holds the vent elbow? I have a similar natural gas model (V75i). I am going to do a condensate trap loop, and I'm curious to find out what type of hose to use.
Funny, I was just servicing the unit last night and realized I forgot to run the drain. Just a plastic clear hose is fine. I'm routing it into the sewer.
I used liquid flashing on the outside because I have not done siding yet. I might have to remove the exhaust pipe and didn't want to risk damaging the grommets in the process. If I can avoid taking the pipe out when siding is done then I could use the grommet on top of the liquid flashing for an extra seal. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Honestly I don't know, lol! I'm not a big warranty guy as they tend to be hard to actually claim. As long as it works when I plug it in and doesn't die after a couple weeks I don't worry about it. I'm sure there is at least a one year manufacturer warranty like most items have.
There should be a black and white hood too for your vents. I just got this installed yesterday
Yep, I have the boot but was waiting until the siding is done before installing it. Until then I used liquid flashing
Great job. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
You could rig a return line and you would have hot water all the time with no delay.

We need one of these
It has been nice. We started at 105 degrees and that wasn't cutting it. The max is 120 which is where we have it set now.
Nice video, looks like a great bit of kit. Hope you are well :)
Doing good, thanks!

What was the part number for the vent kit that you ordered? And what was the hole size you had to drill through your wall?
Here is the one I used;
amzn.to/42sLBRo
I believe I used a 5.5" or 6" hole saw.

Hello, was this a condensing unit or non condensing unit.
It is a Rinnai V65iP Tankless Hot Water Heater non-condensing unit.
You forgot to put the white (interior) and black (exterior) grommets for the vent pipe before installing it. Why?

What kind of a warranty does that come with? 🤔
