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.

By far the best instant install explanation I've seen and the year after update was amazing! Thanks!
This was an exact replacement for the old one that lasted about 10 years. ruclips.net/user/postUgkx7yWIKcrbA9KMHkGSfcgxW2lsjHT6B8Sh 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).
Your video is amazing. I've almost never seen DIY videos that can even compare. Thank you, and I subscribed too :)
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 RUclips 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”).
Very well explained and installed. Thank you.
Thanks for making this video. There is a gas water heater in a room that I would like to turn into a bathroom so to create more space I plan on replacing it with a tankless unit.
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.
Agreed on that one, my neighbor came over and said oh boy that pipe bursts. Thanks for watching and have a great day:)
Outstanding. Great work. Was thinking to use same old water heater exhaust.
Disc golf bag in the background lol yes!
You also did not mention the continued maintenance needed in order for it to operate properly.
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.
Nice job, thanks for sharing.
where did you get the gas line fitting you were showing being installed?
Good video, the "Gas leak detection solution" made me chuckle, just use soap and water in a spray bottle ;)
Do you have to use the stainless vet pipping
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
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.
Hello, may I ask what part of Colorado you are located? I have a farm in Eastern Colorado, near Limon that I want to do the exact same installation. Thanks, David
great job !
Iam mounting the tankless but I have metal studs any advice?
You’ll forgot to install sediment pipe for gas
He explained why he didn't. Popane tank filter.
Where did you get the vent kit from?. You’ll forgot to install sediment pipe for gas.
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.
Add a drip loop
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.
Excellent video!
Thanks for watching:)
Clear instructions even though Dad did all the work😂
minute 21:57, when he was installing the O ring, looks like the bottom part was cut a little
thanks the way u explain u did it very well and i appreciate it good base u and take care
Thank you for watching:) have a great day
23:30 I seen metal showing through on the gas line
This was great. My only question is whether I heard correctly that you’re brushing your teeth with hot water?
Very cool
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
The grey poly is garbage, theirs been lawsuits for decades
Ive seen plumbers use tape and put dope over the tape
Just had to laugh near end of video my furnace is kicking on ... The exact moment mine kicked on lol.
So I just watched another brand and they said that the vent piping is not a special pipe and is not expensive,
Where did you get the vent kit from?
I got that vent kit from Home Depot, I think I had to order it online. It might be available in the store now.
@@TipsNNTricks thank you so very much it’s really appreciated
If the piping is so expensive why not just go with a condenser model so you can use PVC?
He might have said it: but why didn't he tap into previous gas/Propane line,instead of running a new one?
Today Chris gets himself into some real Hot water. Except episode
Maybe a Jacuzzi episode?
why didnt you add a drip leg to your gas
I have always wondered is what happens if you let the party stop I just keep clicking Chris videos so I don’t know 🤷
If you let the party stop then you loose your turn in line for the restroom:)
why do you need drain, I thought it was a non-condensing unit.
Is a relief valve to drain water in case of emergency
@@DanielRojas-nw3mv the relief value is a safety mechanism. When the internal boiler pressure reaches an unsafe level, the water will shoot out from there. Without it, the whole boiler system could exploded technically
@@t-techvids9659 what I said ?
to make a short story long !
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.
Not sure any plumber should use shark bites. The way to go is copper
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.
You wouldn't have gotten that water leak if you would've used the right Teflon tape. Blue Teflon tape is for water not white.
why can't I have a plumbling background
Can't u be quiet like dad!? And man'scape clogged my sink!
DUDE, YOUR OVER FOING IT BOOO
Never pipe dope female threads,
Only on male threads.
Your ruff.
Not much of a "How To" video, more of a "let me show you what I did" video.
Is the valve kit even necessary or required?? Seems you could just add a couple valves & pressure release separately for a lot cheaper. My budget is in the tank range & trying to make a tankless more affordable
The valve kit is for descaling and maintenance if you skip that you’ll be replacing the unit sooner
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
What about a condensing one? Will the existing exhaust pipe for a tank be a problem?
