This was a fantastic installation and educational video! I just finished my install of this exact water heater. I love it! Thank you sir!
I'm glad you enjoyed my video. I have a couple of videos of this tankless water heater coming out soon.Thank you for watching.👍
The best video I’ve seen on this topic. Well shot, and great explanations throughout.
I'm glad you enjoyed my video. Tap. on the 🔔 icon. So you can see my latest videos. I have a few more videos on Tankless Water Heater in the near future. Thank you for watching.🙂👍
Excellent. Initially I was a tad skeptical concerning how it would look, mostly because of the pex. But, it came out great. Good spacing, logical. You should be proud. Your family has a good husband and dad.
Thank you, Glad you enjoyed my video.

I also have a new video on this tankless airing tomorrow at 9am.
Here's the unit I installed.
Tempra Plus24 - amzn.to/3vGLMNl
Thank you for watching.
Awesome video... I buy a couple straight 10' pex sticks for the small runs to keep them straight... Use the coiled stuff for new construction long runs
Awesome, I will keep that in mind on the next job. Another great tip. Thanks again..
Wow! I just spent the better part of an hour on this! Thank you for taking time and showing the details of the installation of the exact unit I am looking to install in order to replace a dying gas water heater. I appreciated your attention to detail and found it all very informative. Given that I am in SoCal with solar in excess, this makes sense in every which way. I am subscribed! Thank you for your effort!
Almost forgot! In order to secure the down drain pipe, there is a better alternative. Just search for “bell hangers” and you will see much better options. You will not have to mess with threaded pipe, etc. Who knew? Hope this helps someone.
I'm glad you enjoyed my video. I appreciate your comment. I have many more videos comimg soon. Thank you for watching!🙂👍
Thanks for the video, You have covered every detail and gave a lot of practical knowledge along the way, definitely one of the best DIY videos I have seen in awhile.
Thank you for watching. I have a couple more videos on this unit in the near future. Thanks again 👍
just enjoyed this video. planning on putting the same water heater in our house.

Thank you for watching 👍. I have another video on this tankless coming soon, and I swap out my non fuse disconnect for fused disconnect. That video should be out in 2 weeks. But you don't really need disconnect. You can run the line directly to the tankless. Thanks again.
Great video
Thank you. And thanks for watching 👍
Dude,
Thank you so much for this video.

Nice job. Did you know that Stiebel does not require a pressure relief valve installed?
Yes, I figured that out after someone else left a comment. I appreciate your comment. I also have an update video coming soon. Thanks for watching.
Muchas gracias esta muy explicito este video de el Stiebel electron Tempra 24 plus
justo el que comprsmos en casa y necesitamos instalar
Excelente video muchas gracias y Dios les bendiga y prospere en sus profesiones de tecnicos electricista y de plomeria.

Me alegra que hayas disfrutado de mi vídeo.
Estoy feliz de haber podido ayudar. ¡Gracias por ver!🙂
Thank you!
I'm glad you enjoyed my video. Thanks for watching👍
@@HandymanLand Is there a minimum height for the two disconnects?
The NEC does not mandate a minimum mounting height for disconnects or meter enclosures.
But switches and circuit breaker used as switches shall be installed so the center of the grip of the operating handle of the switch or circuit breaker when in its highest position is not more than 6ft 7inch. Hope I have answered your question.
@@HandymanLand Thank you very much for the info! Awesome video!
Excellently detailed and explained. Thank you for helping others like me.
I'm glad you enjoyed my video. Tap on that 🔔 icon. I have many more videos coming soon. Thanks for watching. 👍
Also.. It looks like that breaker box is 'bonded' - meaning the copper wire and the neutral wire is go into the same bus bar.... It should be mentioned that if the outside meter box has a breaker in it then that outside panel box has to be bonded and the breaker box inside cannot be, and therefore, the ground and the neutral wires need to be on separate bus bars
That is a great tip! This is why I mention that the inside panel box needs to be redone. Over the years, different people have connected anywhere they found a spot open. It's on my to do list. Thanks for watching and thanks for the tip.
Nice explanation! New subscriber here
I'm glad you enjoyed my video. Thank you for watching 🙂👍
Thank you
Thanks for watching 👍
Great Video, there are so much to learn from it. cheers
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I do have another video on this unit coming out in a few weeks.Thank you for watching 👍
Absolutely enjoyed the step by step- It looks great- will be using your video for the base when I make my switch- Thank you
I'm glad you enjoyed my video. Thank you for watching👍
Is it easy for you to remove the screen in the water heaters inlet to clean it? Thanks for the great video, as I'm about to hook mine up and it's the same model as yours.
It's not too hard. I also made a video on that. ruclips.net/video/HHllP8HQGEg/видео.html
Enjoy. Thanks for watching
When the white wire is hot NEC requires black tape near the end of the wire
That is correct. That part was accidentally cut out from this video, but you can see that on my 60 app disconnect video. The link should be in the description. Thanks for your comments.
Thanks for the video, it was very informative. Looking forward to watching your maintenance video.
Thank you for watching. I have more videos coming soon 🙂👍

Great job on the installation process. I purchased the same model.
Awesome... Glad you enjoyed the video. Stay tuned, I have many more videos to upload. Thanks for watching !
Yes, it's called a P/T valve, meaning pressure/temperature valve. temp, might get out of control.
Just wanted to thank you for this video. I have a small cabin I'm building and I just started the plans for running the water lines. I have all of the filters and on-demand heater purchased and it's pretty much the same setup as yours. The only difference I added was a UV light due to well water. In my head and on paper I planned out pretty much exactly what you did. I'm glad I found your video and thorough explanation validating what I had planned. One thing I did not plan was the disconnects near the unit. I will need to add those.
I'm glad you enjoyed my video. I do have more video on this tankless water heater in the near future. Thank you for watching.👍
I will do an update on the disconnect box. I no longer recommend it. The connection break starts to overheat in time. I don't like that. I had to spice and remove the burn part.
I had a friend of mine, who is a master electrician and a general contractor, come down a few weeks back to help with hanging some of my siding (fancy concrete type) and once it got dark we discussed the water he didn't recommend I put them in either. In my case, he said since I'm only about 30' from the main panel it would be overkill. Now knowing your comment about the heating this gives me two reasons for not doing so. Thanks again for the video and even more so reading comments and replying. This DIY'er appreciates you. @@HandymanLand
Wow, I didn’t realize this video was going to take so long.
Yes, I tried my best to keep it as short as possible, but it was a lot of work involved. I left out the whole pex crimping part out of the video. And someone had commented that they were upset that I left it out.🤷 Had I added that in, it would have been an additional 15 or 20 minutes longer.. Thanks for watching 👍
Great video, thank you especially for all the details. Did you choose this brand heater as the best choice??
Much appreciated, very well done!
I chose this heater because I heard they have great customer service and honor their warranty.
I have another video in the near future coming out on this topic.
Thank you for watching.
I'm gonna do an electric tankless in a house we're about to buy and didn't think of installing a disconnect at the heater. The panel is only a room away so I think I can do without it unless there's some code that requires it. Looking forward to the descale vid. Just subscribed, nice job.
Yes, check with your county or city on the disconnect. A room away sounds like you're okay. But I would check if I were you. I'm glad you enjoyed my video. Thank you for the comment. There will be more tankless water heater videos coming soon. 🙂👍
Great vid!
Thanks for watching 👍
This is exactly what I was looking for! Great video and very informative. Thanks for making it!
Thank you for watching 👍
Don't like the sharkbites push connectors but the installation is great and very informative! Thank you for your hard work into explaning very detailed all thru the installation!
I have an updated video on the Non fuse disconnects. Coming soon. I swap them out for fused disconnect. Also, another tankless water heater video as well. Thanks for watching👍
Thanks bro. Did you descale it yet? Looking forward to that.
Unfortunately not yet. Hoping to handle that this spring. My latest video is on me switching out to fuse disconnects.
ruclips.net/video/ieLXU4RwKYk/видео.html
Also a video on the filter screen.
ruclips.net/video/HHllP8HQGEg/видео.html
I do have a video coming out in about 3 weeks on my experience with Stiebel Eltron warranty and customer service.
I must say it was a great experience. My tankless water heater receive some type of surge during a storm.
I reached out to the company and they sent me a brand new unit, within 2 days. So they definitely honor their warranty... My upcoming video will walk everyone through the process. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for the descale video.
What are the valves with what look like hose hook ups on both sides . My manual says nothing about hose hook ups. My manual also said nothing about flushing it out like you spoke about. Thanks for your time and the video was great.
These are tankless water heater Isolation valves. Isolation valves should be installed on all tankless water heaters.
It's the best way to do a one year flush to remove any sediment buildup.
Valves I have - amzn.to/3tAKBhu
Flush Kit - amzn.to/3H1f6Aj
Thank you for watching.
It says GPM beside that lower number and it goes up and down with the bars .. that's the amount of flow Gallons Per Minute
I hv the biggest grin 😅😅😅😅😅. Ty so when its time to install i can watch and let my person know what all i desire or if what they suggest is on par with my home.i need to find out im exchanging a electric hot water tank system for a tankless system what will i need to replace also the gas hot water tank for a gas tankless tank .like will i need new shut off. Will my amp wireeing change. Switches and valves although im thinking of doing shut-off valve replacement through my systems. Both gas and electric. I hve a 2 story ,basement full attic. Remodeling to hv sink and toilet. This has been the best help thank you
Hi, All depends on your electric water heater.
What AWG and breaker it's, connected to. The unit I installed needs a two 50 amp breaker. On a 6-2 or 8-2 wire. In my video, I installed a 60amp non fuse disconnect box. Don't do it. Install a fused 60 app disconnect box. But the disconnect box is optionable. I will be doing a video shortly on y i'm against non disconnect box soon. I'm hearing too many stories of these style disconnect box failing. It's safer to have a fuse in your disconnect box. And also, if you're doing an upgrade whether it's gas or electric, you should always just replace these shut off for new ones. You don't need to if they work but it's better just to replace them while you're already in the process of installing something new. Thank you for watching.
Great job! Would have used cement board for backing.
wife doesn't respect what you are sharing' she could have left the dryer off for another 20 minutes.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video😁. Stay tuned, I have many more videos to upload. Hit that 🔔 icon so you can see my newest videos.🙂👍 Thanks again!
Thank you for the video! Quick question: Shouldn't the wires be inside flexible conduit, instead of exposed that way where they could get knicked?
Yes, that is correct. Those are future plans of mine. I have a couple more videos on this tankless water heater coming soon. Thank you for watching.
@@HandymanLand Cool, look forward to the new video. I thought of another question: Why do you have those switches next to the unit, when you could shut off the power just using the circuit breakers?
Did you ever get an answer about needing a pressure relief valve? I have a similar question about using a pressure reducing valve, back flow preventer, and/or an expansion tank on the cold side.
Yes, we do not need the pressure relief valve. As for the expansion tank. That's a good question. It's not needed in my area. My pressure is regulated by the city. Stiebel Eltron customer service is good at answering any questions.
I would assume it all depends on your area. I have a video just on their customer service. Here's that link -
ruclips.net/video/ZF2D_ynzRp8/видео.html
Thank for watching.
I think the bars indicate gallons per minute. Not the pressure.
I think you're right. Don't know why I didn't think of that. Thank you for your comment. 👍
The bars represent the power capacity status. Amps/heating elements. Awesome video! Also check out page 12 of the manual where it states this tankless does not need a pressure relief valve. Unless the inspector won’t pass you then install just like you did. Oh and remember the cold water connection to the unit must be disconnected periodically in order to clean the filter screen. I’m going to install a braided steel flex like suggested.
Hello Mr. Handyman! Thank you for making the video, I learned a lot from this to do it for myself. The number that changed with your control knob is the gallon per minute, it has the abbreviation " gpm " next to it. This is the first I see the inside of the unit; it has 2 heating elements and each has its own circuit. So I just wonder if you just turn off 1 breaker, will the whole system still work? Again thank you very much! Thai
Hello, That is a very good question. I have mine's labeled as breaker 1 and breaker 2. If I turn off breaker 1, the whole system shuts down. If I turn off only breaker 2. You can still use the system. It will be running off only one heading element. Hope I answered your question. I will have more videos on this tankless water heater in the near future. Thank you for the comment, and thanks for watching. 👍
Page 11 of the manual, in the "note" section indicated you do NOT ned pressure relieve valve. However if the city code requires one, well, you need one.
Thank you for your comment. 🙂👍
Really a great video on tankless water heater installation, thank you! By the way, do you have any information on solar generator installation? Thanks again!
Glad you enjoyed my video. I don't have a solar generator video yet. But i'm currently working on a work shop where my plans were to use solar generators, for that project. Stay tuned, I have many more videos to upload. And more videos I'm working on. Thank you.🙂👍
@@HandymanLand Enjoyed your videos. Appreciate the great work. Thank you!
Pressure relief valve depends on where you live ie local code.
Oil prices are so high I looked at a price calculator for different fuels and depending on the price of electric some parts of the country it would be cheaper to run electric space heaters which are 100% efficient
Yes, i believe that's what i'll be doing this coming winter. Space heaters for the bedrooms.
And i will definitely be using my fireplace more than ever before.
The valves that were leaking when closed are designed that way to drain the line when you cut it off , I have a brass ball valve that has a little finger screw to use if you want or not
Interesting, Yes I have ball valve with drain vent near my radiators. These valves I purchase, didn't have the drainvent screw. Thanks for your comment. I will look into those valves I purchase. I still have the one I removed in the video somewhere in my shop.👍
@@HandymanLandhmmm…I’d love to see a picture of this kind of valve some time if ever possible
I am putting in a 3M Aqua Pure Descaler as is what Stiebel Eltron recommended
Nice. Yes, there are multiple types that you can install. I also have a whole house filter at my main before the tankless. Thanks for your comment. 3M Aqua Pure Descaler is a good one.
Great video! Thank you so much! Plumbing for my application will be much trickier, so I’ll probably gonna get a plumber, however electrical work looks very doable.
One question - how did you size the water filter - I would imagine it has to be at least the same GPM as the system, correct? Or bigger is better? I believe Eltron 24 is rated at 5 gpm max, so that filter is enough? Thank you!
Yes you can say bigger is better. Also it depends on your water source. Whether you have city water or well water. I also have an updated video on the disconnects. If you're interested. Thank you for watching.
One thing in missing in your presentation. Please inform how far your power box from the heater to determine bif breakers are necessary?
Good stuff, about to install mine (ecosmart 27) and was curious about filter. That "whole house filter" is cheap! Going to get it.
You didn't think 4gpm was too low?
Lol good job reusing old dresser, wood prices are crazy.
Hi, The ECO is a 27-kilowatt tankless electric water heater. it can provide between 2.7 and 6.5 gallons-per-minute depending on the inlet water temperature. I belive 4GPM is good enough. While sediment filter won't reduce heavy metals or mitigate scale, they will ensure the passageway to your takless water heater remains open. Installing a whole-house spin-down sediment filter or a 5-micron per-filter before your tankless water heater will keep it clean from debris and preserve the unit's efficiency. The whole house filter I install is definitely doing it's job. This why I preferred the clear canisters. you can visually see what the filter is catching... Glad you enjoyed my video. Hit that Bell Icon. i Have many more video to upload. Thanks for watching.
@@HandymanLand Awesome. I'm still collecting parts and re-arranging the routing with dry fits. Did you sweat that copper tube and fitting into the pressure release valve?
@@francoisl7663 I usually do. On this one I did not. The copper clamp is holding On very tight. It's definitely a must if I were installing a hot water heater 30 to 40 gallon tank. Then you definitely need to Sweat that pipe.
I'm fixing to install a new stibel eltron. Tankless water heater. Replacing my old one. Which never had service valves. So I do have a question. How did you install the copper pipe. That goes to the relief valve?
If i'm understanding the question.
I connected the 3/4" copper pipe. To a male 3/4" adapter. It's just push in place. The split ring is on very tight. Since the copper line is open at the other end. If pressure ever builds up, it will shoot straight out the open end. You can solder if you choose so. Or you can use 3/4" Push-fit PEX fitting. I've placed both of these in the description. Hope I answered your question. Thanks for watching.
@@HandymanLand thank you I appreciate your help.
Can you please tell me the name of the water filter so I can purchase one?
My apologies for the late reply. I've been remodeling a kitchen from an 1890s home.
I might make a video on this project for the summer.
Here's the link.

😊ne more question - wouldn’t disconnects be redundant? Since you have breakers anyway ? I’d understand if your electrical panel was far away and for ease of servicing have disconnects close by, but if electric box is within 15-20 feet, wouldn’t they be overkill?
Thank you!
My apologies for the late response. Yes, its overkill if electric box is within 15-20 feet.
It's only good for certain application or should I say convenience... There are some homes where the electric box is in the garage. And nowadays most garages are not used for cars. More like a storage unit.
Some people make it almost impossible to get to the electric box without spending 30min or more of moving their stuff out the way. I have a couple buddies that walked away from a job and told the homeowner or the landlord they need to create a path. Because they do not want to be responsible if something breaks. Thank you for watching.
Thank you for reply!
If you have a water softener would you still recommend the filter?
My apologies for the late response.
If you have a water softener you might not need the filter. But I recommend this clear style filter.
Due to the fact that you can see exactly what's happening inside. You'll be amazed what the filter will still pick up.
Thank you for watching.
Since it has a cold inlet, and a hot outlet, where do you run the cold outlet from.
And if you say, just run a tea on a hot outlet, how does the machine know to output, cold water versus hot water?
The cold is a continuous run to your fixtures. There is a fitting in the cold line that runs to the tankless. That cold water goes in the unit comes out hot. Once the cold water goes in the unit, it cannot backtrack This way it will never interfere with the cold water. In this video, I drew a little drawing that kind of explains that. I hope I have answered your question. Thanks for watching.
@@HandymanLand so are you saying run a T off of the cold water that goes into the inlet side
@@anthonyrichmond6834 Yes,👍. If you get a chance, look at the small, ugly drawing I made. I think it will help better understand how it runs...
I want to install a gas tank-less and my house is all 1/2 inch water lines. Will this be a problem?
No problem 3/4 or 1/2 inch. If in doubt you can always call customer service. I've never had to call them, But i've heard their customer service is good. Thanks for watching👍
great video. how much electricity does this thing use? 2 50A circuits is a lot of juice.
Sorry for the late response. Stiebel Eltron has the Tempra 12, which requires only a single 50 AMP breaker.
There Tempra 24 requires, two 50 AMP breakers. And the Tempra 36 requires 3, 50AMP breakers.
The way their system is set-up. The 12 can handle only one shower. The 24, two showers. And the 36 can handle 3 shower at the same time. Thanks for watching.
@@HandymanLand We are installing the Tempura 24 plus as well also with 150amp service. My electrician heeded a warning to be very careful and aware at what is running while using hot water. He said not to have the oven in operation at the same time. Does this pull all 100 amps when the hot water is on? What are your thoughts or experience when running oven or multiple items while hot water is running?
@TAMMI CAMPBELL ARTISTRY Hi, Yes, so my house is all electric. Electric dryer, washer, and oven. I've yet to experience any issues. From my experience, you would need to make sure your breakers are pretty much equal on both sides of the panel. For instance, on my video. I put one 50A breaker on one side and the other 50A breaker on the opposite. That also goes for all the other breakers as well. If you have a 40 amp on one side. Then you'll have two 20 amps breakers on the opposite. The manufacturer, it states that it is a must to have a 150 amp service. For this unit. But a 100 app service will definitely get overloaded.
I hope this answers your question. Tap on that 🔔 icon so you can see my latest video. I have 2 more videos coming out soon on this tankless water heater. One is on how to descale. The other is about on the filter screen. Thanks for watching.👍
@@HandymanLand BTW Thank you for making this video! I'm having a hard time locating the shopping link for the 3/4 brass adapter for pex crimp. I see one for an elbow but not the one that connects the valves to pex. I'll be ordering a couple things through your links. Let me know what link that 3/4 brass connector to pex crimp so I can add it to my cart. Thanks!
@TAMMI CAMPBELL ARTISTRY Sounds good. I'll look into it. Thanks again 🙂 👍
You should shut off all breaks and main and solar just push down on cut off box then pull meter out.thats your switch
Thank you, I will hundred percent do that next time. I need to upgrade that paddle box. I need to run electricity to the new workshop. 🙂👍
I just purchased this exact model from Home Depot on clearance after purchasing I found out this is being discontinued. My question is why is this model being discontinued is it because it was a problematic model? Is it being replaced with an updated model or is it not selling as well as the smaller models?
That's a good question. It's probably being discontinued at home depot. Not the company. Perhaps another company gave home depot a better offer to sell their product. But I'll look into that to see what's up. Don't know why they would discontinue it when it's a great product. At least from my experience. Thanks for the comment.
Hey im attempting this and have solor panels as well I have a few questions is there a way I could get in contact with you?
You can ask me any question here. Thanks for watching.
Would I absolutely need the two extra on off boxes? Or would it be fine with just the two 50 amp breakers?
You do not need the 2 disconnect disconnect boxes. It's just more for convenience. For some homes, the panel box is in the garage. In some road homes, you have to go outside to get into the garage. You can do without. Thanks for watching.
@@HandymanLand thank you for making the video and responding to me so fast. I’m buying this unit this week and it really helps me understand how to install it.
I'm glad you enjoyed my video. 👍
The pressure relief valve should have been installed on the cold side, if that is tempature and pressure then you have it right but the bag mine came in says cold side only
My pressure relief valve is exactly like his, on the hot water valve...So my water valves look just like his after hook-up.
Are the fuse disconnects necessary, if my breaker is “in-sight” of the water heater? Or is it for another purpose? Thanks
No, you do not need to add disconnects. Disconnects are good for certain applications, where it's inconvenient to get to the panel box. You can run the wires directly to your unit. I have a new video coming out in a couple of weeks on this unit. Stay tuned... Thank you for watching...
Thanks iam going to try to diy it this weekend and already racked up 1k in parts lol. My breaker is literally on the other side of the closet of the water heater. Thanks
My closet is tight because i also have a washer and dryer in there. Any recommendations on a compact filter for the tankless? I saw an ispring that looks good. Maybe some of my questions you can use to put in your next video. Thank you for the reply and videos.
@jorgenorman8715 There are smaller filters you can use. But the one I use it filters all the hot water to the house. And I love the clear housing. Because it's more of a reminder that when you can visually see your filter, it is ready to change. Because sometimes time just goes by so fast and before you know it. 3 months have gone by. If you haven't seen my filter video.You should check it out. I also show how to clean the filter screen in this tankless water heater. Thanks again for watching.🙂👍
Are the disconnects necessary for this? I haven’t seen anyone do that before
No, You do not need the disconnects. The disconnects are for certain homes where the breaker box is in a garage and you have to go outside. To get in the garage. It's just for a convenience for certain applications. Thanks for watching.
Hey man.
For your ao smith filter. Might npt fittings don’t get close enough to clamp down on mounting bracket. Did you get lucky or did you shim them?
Hello, I didn't shim mind. Yours must have some type of defect. This would be probably, my 5th or 6th one I've installed. I never had that problem.
@@HandymanLand weird. Were you just using a 3/4” npt to sharkbite fitting ?
I used 3/4 - in push to connect x 3/4 - in MNPT male adapter.
@@HandymanLand wow. You must have really cranked down on it to get all the npt threads far enough to clamp the bracket.
@@francoisl7663 Yes, I placed the clamp 1st, then screw the NPT male adapter in.
Don't you need 18" of copper in and out of the heater before you go to pex? I know with tanked units that is the case, is it different with tankless? Not critiquing, just asking.
Hi, That is a great question!
For a gas water heater,
18 inches of copper is
required. As for tankless...
PEX Tubing may be connected directly to residential electric tank or tankless. (instantaneous) water heaters, if the local code and manufacturers instructions allow. When connecting PEX tube to gas tank or tankless water heater, the tube must be kept at least 6 inches away from the exhaust vent of the heater. Hope I answered your question.. And thanks for watching.
Don't forget to hit that 🔔 icon.
I have many more videos I haven't released. Thanks again🙂👍
Not tryna nitpick but you really should come out of the tankless with copper I’ve seen pex and cpvc split on the hot side like very often
That's interesting. I have never seen PEX pipe split yet. Perhaps it's in certain area due to cold conditions.
I can see it happening if it's out doors and not buried under the frost line. Thanks for watching.
T&P valve isn’t necessary in an opened system. Definitely for a closed system like a boiler.
Thank you so much... That was the answer I was looking for.👍
@@HandymanLand They why is every tankless shipped with one when you buy the valve kit? And every tankless installation guide show one installed?
I have this what wire do i use?
My apologies for the late reply. On my unit I used 6/2 wire. In the manual it says you can use 8/2 wire. I just prefer to use a thicker gauge.
6/2, 125ft Nonmetallic With Ground Sheathed Cable - amzn.to/3HS6coA
I have in the description most of the supplies for this project. I do have a new update video on this tankless, hopefully next weekend. Thank you for watching...
@@HandymanLand ty do so much 💓
I don't know what Freezer you have and if the condenser coils are on the back, underneath, or in the cabinet, but if they are built into the cabinet shell, you should not place anything on top of the freezer. you block airflow and cause the freezer to work harder and put undo strain on the compressor. 23:13 into the video. I don't believe the condenser coils are in the rear being it is so close to the wall
I don't believe condenser coils are in the rear. But I'll double check. Thank you 👍
The pressure relief valve is there to relieve the pressure after isolating the heater from the house. Usually before hooking-up and starting your regularly scheduled chemical flush of the system.
Here is a video of someone showing how to do all of this.

Awesome, appreciate the comment. Thank you.🙂👍
I'm not an expert. I've an electric water installed currently and it doesn't have a pressure relief valve. Other video has a tankless gas water heater. May be electric doesn't require a pressure relief valve?
You should have gotten the air out before you put power on the heater
Interesting, thanks for the tip.👍
Actually GPM is flow
Why don't you have it setup so your filtering all the water going into your house, instead of just the hot water? Are you just filtering so your tankless water heater last longer?
This house also has a whole house filter at the main. And the other at the tankless so the unit lasts longer. I will have an upcoming video in the next few weeks. That will show replacing both filters. Cleaning out the filter screen from the tankless water heater. And also how to reset the high limit switch. Thanks for watching 🙂👍
Pressure relief valve isn't really needed.
THAT tiny tankless might not fully supple engough hot water
This tiny unit can handle up 2 bathrooms. This unit is actually 2 units in one. This is why it needs two 50 amp breakers. The 36 plus is actually 3 units in 1. That would need 3 - 50amp breakers. What people need to know when purchasing this unit? You must make sure you have the proper service line and space in your panel box. This tankless water heater, heats up the water instant. Thank you for your comment. Thanks for watching.👍
Great video
Thank you for watching.👍
