Step by step instructions on installing a tankless water heater. Watch for more information on installing a tankless water heater in a residential plumbing setting.
hi, man, did you do very well work and explanation how to installation all how to connected of hot water heater, and how to install the electrical wire, Thank you.
I have a question regarding the relief pipe. You mentioned dont go back up with the pipe but what if unit is in the basement? Could I just use a 5 Gallon bucket and empty periodically? Or is there like a pump system to send it up and out or across the basement to where I actually have a drain?
Thank you so much for this video. I am about to replace my leaking water heater with a tankless. Can you please help comment on what I should do when my existing hot and cold supplies are 1 inch pipe while tankless are 3/4 inch? would getting at 3/4 to 1 inch for both cold and hot supplies reduce the performance of the tankless water heater or reduce pressure at the shower? thanks
I have a 40 gallon NG water heater. Thinking of replacing it with a gas tankless heater. One question I have is I have a 1/2 gas connection to my present tank heater. The 1 inch gas service to the house is right outside the water heater location so that could probably be fixed by cutting out some sheetrock and changing some gas pipe. Do I need a 3/4 line to replace a 40 gallon unit? I haven't looked into this a lot but appreciate the info.
Question: How come for gas pipe, you are using galvanised before the water heater and the drip pipe, you are using black pipe. Shouldnt you be using black pipe for all gas connection?
It's what we had on the shelf . I could do it all out of brass if I wanted to . You use black iron cause it's cheaper. Mine at home is galvanized because it looks better. But , this is just a demo.
dumb question. If you're switching to a tankless exterior heater and the water was originally coming in via cold line to the old tank heater. Do you have any videos showing how to reroute cold water back to the external tankless one? thanks
It's a joy watching your plumbing lectures
Thanks again ! I'm currently binge watching your videos. Thanx
Thank you very much for explaining this nice and slow without any music Good job.
You crushed it!! Very, very helpful and informative! Thanks so much for taking the time to make this!
Great,thank you for your professionalism, I wish you the best of the best, God Bless you
Great job on the detailed video.
Greta video, thanks for the detailed explanation, particularly on the valve kit install!
was not aware of tankless heater needing electricity..............thx for the info
Thank you for every lesson you you have tought us, I request please to do avideo on how to install a battery backup with sup pump
I don't run in to many of those but if one comes my way I definitely will. The new ones I have seen just plug in.
Thank you. Great tutorial.
Great video thanks for sharing!

That should be in the video
Suggestion by a NC licensed plumber…. Use Wago connectors instead of wire nuts. Wago makes a much better connection between stranded and solid wires.
Had to look those up, nice but too expensive. We do new construction it has to be cheap.
self-explanatory
Also, tankless water heater requires 3/4" gas line and you use 3/4" to 1/2" reducer with 1/2" flex hose.
It's LP the pressures are higher . There is a 20 lb grill tank running it and it's just a demo.

Most all water heaters are 3/4, you should be fine

MUY BUEN VIDEO THANKS
My instruction manual said to install the pressure relief valve on the cold water side. What is the rationale for putting it on the hot side?

On gas line reducer is that 1” x 3/4”? Or 3/4” x 1/2”?
Well, you shouldn't reduce it, that just my set up for the demo. most tankless are 3/4 . but there are some that come in 1/2 inch
On a propane model is it important to level the unit?
you want it close , hot air rises. but perfectly level is a cosmetic thing.
Don’t use CPVC!!!Never ever!!!!!!
Is the house is ready cpvc como hay you can do
I wouldn't put a crimp ring system on my worst enemy's house.....always use copper or Uhonor Wirsbo fittings....you're welcome.
Its all about the money. I would go for Uponor for my house. but our builders want it cheap.
I wouldn't use galvanize or down size the gas pipe, tankless water heaters pull a lot of BTU's.
Is crimp more prone to failure?
