The Tankless Water Heaters Web Store carries all your installation needs from gas shutoff valves to pressure relief valves.
Each Full Kit includes all the necessary components for a quick and seamless installation, everything needed to make the installation of your new tankless water heater a simple and quick affair.

According to ANSI code, gas tankless water heaters normally require stainless steel, category II/III vent pipe. This is due to the fact that gas tankless water heaters actually burn at a higher BTU rating. As such, the gas is extremely hot when it leaves the water heater, but cools quickly. This cooling process results in condensation which could eat through regular galvanized pipe.

We carry the Z-Flex vent pipe.

HORIZONTAL Termination INSTALLATION Requirements
We always recommend a horizontal installation when it is possible.
It requires less pipe and as such, less expensive.
When doing a horizontal run, your maximum lengths are as follows:

1 Elbow: 47′ 6″

2 Elbows: 42′ 6″

3 Elbows: 37′ 6″

Each Elbow is equivalent to 5′ of Straight Pipe.

VERTICAL Termination INSTALLATION Requirements
You will need to purchase additional Z-Vent straight pipe.
You will need to determine how many additional feet you will need as well determine if you will need a condensation drain.
There is a maximum vent run of 20 feet, subtracting 4 feet for every 90 degree elbow in the run.
Just so you know ANY Vertical Venting Installation with more than a 5′ run length requires a vertical condensation drain pipe as well.

When installing a vertical vent stack, you will need the following pieces:
Universal Appliance Adapter

Drainpipe For Condensation

Flashing

Storm Collar

Rain Cap

Straight Pipe

Please NOTE : A Termination Hood Or Straight Pipe Section Must Be Equipped With A Damper/Backflow Preventer Is Mandatory To Ensure That Freezing Air Does Not Come Back Down Through The Vent Stack.
This May Cause Freeze Damage Internally In The Water Heater And Is Not Covered Under Warranty.
