Mike, I cannot thank you enough for taking time out of your day to discuss my tankless water heater problems and what needs to be done to fix them.
I fully recommend Mike if you're located in his service area in Florida. He is extremely knowledgeable about plumbing in general and was excellent at helping me with my tankless needs even though I live in Washington State. For a person to take their precious time to consult with someone who is not even a client is rare.
God bless you Mike! I am a single mom, and I have to say my general contractor had an incompetent plumber. I learned from you more than they ever knew. My tankless lasted only 9 years, because of poor job that they did with the vent and valves, they botched one of the HVAC systems as well. I was able to fix everything thanks to you.
Anya2 T no problem glad I could help.
Mike's ability and willingness to explain where my venting problems might originate from was awesome. Knowledge and experience will get to the root of my problem and get it solved. I hope your medical problems can come to an end in the near future. We'll talk again soon and thank you so much!!
Mike, thank you I installed my tankless hot water heater the P 75 I Rinnai, I watched your videos before doing any piping, I’ve got hand it to you guys, HVAC, as a career electrician 26 years in, I found it more difficult to install this then it is to rewire a house. But with your help it went a little smoother than I expected. Again thank you.
Mike Thank you so much for the videos! Home Depot’s contractor wanted to charge over $3,800 just for the install. Thanks to you I was able to install my unit this week. I wish you the best and hope the knee is better.
TY Big Mike! Preparing to install Rianni non-condensing and your venting clarification is on point...TY
thank you for your clear video. bless u and the family
Thank you very much
Mike,.
Thank you for your RUclips videos. They are a great benefit to both professionals and home owners (like me) trying to take their education beyond just product manuals.
Your videos contribute to the confidence I need to plan a tank-to-tankless conversion for my home.

Mike, thank you very much for going over the proper venting for these units. You are a pro and I always get some great tips from your videos.
Your videos have helped me many times. Thank you
Good evening Mike, thank you for taking my call this late at night. I really appreciate your clarification about the roof venting and the flashing installation. Good luck on future videos. Raul
We have a Rinnai RL75 in our new home. So grateful to have come across your videos on this system. They're very informative on the inner workings of the system. Having an understanding of how it works makes living with it a lot easier since it's our first tankless water heater, and we didn't know anything about them other than the basics. We really appreciate your videos and look forward to all of them you produce. Thank you👍🏽
gr8ride411 thank you very much I’m glad it helped. There great units and you will have years of trouble free service.
YOU THE MAN! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!
Mike, thanks for the video, I’ve bookmarked a few of them so can show to potential customers inquiring about tankless, and i tell them I’m putting a hole in their wall. A lot of NY, NJ, New England natives down here on space coast, they can appreciate your accent!! 🗽🇺🇸 I’m sure you’ve got your share of “Yankees” up by you... lol Thanks, Jeff
Good work, I am battling a rinnai replacement that had noritz vent pipe...changing to proper vent system and your vid was very helpful. Like all plumbers and men in general who wants to read when you can watch you tube.....
Super helpful video. I've been looking online for weeks for this type of information. We're looking to replace our 15 year old natural gas tank in our attic. I was wondering what was needed to properly vent vertically. Just trying to make sure I'm informed when asking questions to our local installer
Wow Mike, that is more complicated than i thought. So what you are saying is, that there is no way to use the metal piping that was used in the water heater. I have to replace it with 3" schedule 40. Great videos!
Nice video Mike. Now you have me wondering how my son's Rinnai was vented! I've got to get up with him and go check it out. Thanks for making this video! Bob in Virginia
Bob Troxell if you think there’s a problem send me some pictures and a contact number and I will go over it with you. Economyplmbg@aol.com Mike
Thanks Mike! My son and his wife had an out of town guest this weekend so I could not get up there and take a look. They are using the black Rinnai roof vent but I still want to look up in the attic to make sure the installer used what you recommend. Thanks again! Bob in Virginia.
Great helper. Is there for every move of the boss.
great video thank you! I was sweating I just put stucco on and dont want to side vent!
Good work sir
Amazing I'm a senior systems architect for a tech company , I feel like I want to switch professions now and work with you !!
Vitale Mazo why thank you very much I’m humbled
greetings. very helpful videos. in this video you said the condensate part number would be in the description. I don't see it. will you please provide it as well as the part number for the exhaust vent you recommend. Thanks
I'm installing a V65iP, but from your video it looks like the venting cannot be combined with a gas furnace. Thanks for the informative video.
Question: can the vent pipe be exposed a few inches above the roof line or just only that black part. With the angle of my roof, I would like for it to stick out an few inches to put sealant around it and get it nice a waterproof. Your the only guy I found that shows the vertical vent pipe method through a roof , I just wish that I could see one already installed.
Unfortunately no white can be exposed
Thanks for your videos, they have really helped me out. One question I have: can I run the condensate pipes through the existing bvent exhaust piping? Thanks again
Did you ever get an answer to this question? I was wondering the same thing, I just need to run a single 3" exhaust and though I'd use the Bvent as a conduit to my roof.
Can I put the condensate line into my water heater pan?
Can you use a Rinnai RU199iN with concentric venting with the room vent cap off? If I leave the cap on or leave the front cover off the heater works well. If i put both covers on I get a #12 error code and the heater quits working. How do i know if this is a condensing or non-condensing unit?
Can I use the T&P pipe for the condensate drain? On the tank that I am replacing the overflow pan and T&P valve run to the same pipe.
Our home has a Rinnai R75LS that was set up with vertical venting. We’ve been having a lot of error code 12 lately and I’m trying to troubleshoot. One of the metal pipes within the white pipe appears to be a little corroded. It also did not have a condensation trap set up (we do live in desert climate). Would it be best to replace that pipe for the vertical venting or just close that up and convert it to horizontal venting? Any info is greatly appreciated.
Mike - i have a Rinnai non-condensing tank less in my basement -- the exhaust is as high as it can go in the basement however outside it is pretty low to the ground, definitely in the snow line how do i get this higher
Can you vent this unit through the floor to the crawl space underneath the unit? Thank you for your help
Will this work for a NaVien tankless water heater we get frozen in the exhaust pipe every hard freeze winter!!???
I'm about to purchase vertical venting. Could you comment what difference between metal (part no 148127) and plastic (on you video)?
Thank you so much for your video.
Is it possible to vent downwards thru the floor? 3 feet below the floor is the closest open area on my apartment. What propane tankless heater you recommend? Many thanks
Would love to know what the dip switch settings
Mike, the vertical vent through the roof...does it have to be exactly vertical or can it be at an angle? I have a steep pitch on the roof and the Ubbink flashing kit only has a 6-12 range in the pitch adjustment.
Can the curved copper water tubing be repaired . The tube in my unit split on the elbow. Can it be replaced?
What if you have a flat roof will this just go straight up through the roof?
I bought the Rinnai 184127 Vertical Termination Kit for my Rinnai Non-Condensing Tankless Water Heater, model # V94IN. I installed it in my existing water heater closet, which is already built into the side of my house. i installed it an carefully measured so that I could use my existing hole in the roof and go straight out the top of the unit. Everything has lined up perfectly. However, when I bought the unit, I could not immediately get the termination kit, I had to order it. So, I put a UBBINK extension pipe on the the top of my water heater while waiting. Now I have it. But since I already have the extension pipe going through the roof, can I remove the black portion of the termination kit and just slide that onto my extension pipe? I have not cut either of my exhuast pipes yet. Thanks in advance for your advice. -JK
Hey Mike, I'm a big fan of your videos, thank you for them. I had a question I'm hoping you can answer. I installed the non condensing v65IP, with vertical venting, just as you described, and with the condensate trap. Everything is installed as per the instructions, but I've never seen any condensate drip out of the trap. Today, a year later, I was flushing it with vinegar, I inspected the condensate trap, and noticed what looks like oxidation or condensate crystals or something forming out of the nipple. Is this normal? Thank you so much!
JStouder133 yes it is most of the time the condensate will stay and evaporate in the trap leaving those crystals just clean them out as best as you can. Mike
@@TheBuddylab Awesome, thank you Mike! I thought I was losing my mind because I would never see condensate come out of the trap, but I have it installed according to rinnai's instructions. Thanks man!
I had to go through roof. The horizontal vent was going to be too close to a opening window, three feet. Nice to have a option that other do not have as easy.
Great video. For the two tube solution with an existing vent, can you use the existing pipe as a chase for the schedule 40 red letter pipe? RUR199IN. The current water heaters this unit is replacing are 24" apart and vented directly upwards 8-10 ft through the roof.
Yes you can use the old B vent as a sleeve and at 34” apart that’s more then enough. Just remember the U bend and the two bug guards. Mike
Mike, I am having serious CO2 issues with my RU199in. It has been only in since the end of August. To the point that we had the fire department as well as our gas company come. After that incident, the plumber came back and did a direct vent for fresh air. But yet again, we are having bad C02 smell. I would loe to send you pictures of the install to see if this was installed correctly

Hi Mike
I have a vertically vented RL75i. Works well and has since 2008. Over the years a white deposit has developed on the roof shingles around the vent running down to the eves and slightly onto the bricks below. Rinnai says they have never heard of this before and it must be something in the natural gas supply. Could deterioration of the interior of the exhaust stack have anything to do with this white area?
Call me at +19042385349 tonight after 6pm eastern time and I will go over it with you Mike
I just installed a Rinnai v65in. However, I don’t understand what you did with the flashing on the roof. I did some rig that I don’t like can you help with more info so I can fix it? Thank you great videos.
Raul Cruz call me tonight after 6 pm
904-238-5349 and I will go over it with you.
I have a Rinnai v65i model and a I am having issues where the hot water in my shower will be hot for a bout 3-5 minutes and then go absolutely cold and the back to hot for another 3-5 minutes and it will continue this cycle. I was wondering what could be the issue. It's not the cold water sandwich which is the only thing I can find. The guy who installed it also didn't install a termination kit (or end cap) which is horizontal through a side wall, that I see many people have. Very annoying issue. PLEASE HELP!!!
Good evening Mr. Mike! I just installed 2 R94i but the building has one vent through the ceiling/roof. The question is: can I run the vent pipes (almost one) through the wall? I am at Jacksonville FL. If you send me your email address to mail you the place pics please. So I would need a vertical vent pipes kit and a horizontal vent pipes kit and both condensation kits. Thank you so much!
how come my Rinnai MAKES a BIG NOISE when only first turning ON? seems to last only a few seconds but has my wife scared it'll Blow UP.
Took OFF the plastic Tube atop the machine and it didnt make that noise while it was OFF.
Why does it do so while Plastic tube is ON machine? TY
Thanks for the video. However, on a pitched roof, the metal (cardboard in your example) piece will be at an angle and not flush with upper black section of piping that will be outside. Do you leave the exposed white section of pipe outside on the roof exposed to the elements? Does it make more sense to move the entire assembly down to the next (bigger) collar and leave less exposed outside so that only the uv protected part is protruding or???? Thanks for your videos, lots of information.
NVM, I can use pipe flashing with a rubber boot to solve that problem.
if you make the temples the size of the white pie snd cut the old roof flashing under the marked line you make from the temples the storm collar on the vertical vent will fit over it. we have done it hundred of times. thanks Mike
WHAT'S THE WARRANTY ON A IL99 RINNAI? OR ANY TANKLESS RINNAI
Is a rinnai rl75ip good to use in Michigan on a cold winter night
Virssiah Northcutt yes it will work good
Ok thank you
Does the Rinnai Condensate Trap need to be installed on all tankless water heaters?
If it’s a non condensing unit and the vent is going through the roof or if the horizontal length is longer then the standard through the wall vent you need to add a trap. If it’s a condensing unit there is one built into it.
@@TheBuddylab no one in my area seems to know what to do with the Code 10. One plumber said it was the fan. They just want to install a brand new unit.
Hey Mike, I wanted to email you some questions regarding my situation swapping out a tank for a V65iN. Looking at mounting it in my attic(4-5') clearance right where the existing 4" B Vent exits the roof. I thought I had seen your email somewhere.... Clay
Clay Bush it’s on the comments
@@TheBuddylab You are a friggin Rockstar buddy for doing all this.
do your make service calls in Boston ?
lol no unfortunately I don’t
Don't look now but there's a very scary looking guy that looks like Bluto from Popeye behind you!
Mike what your email address
