The Navien NPE-240S2 is a condensing tankless water heater from the NPE-2 series. It uses a pair of stainless steel heat exchangers, primary and secondary. It has the same cabinet and heat exchangers as the NPE-240A2 but no internal pump, which gives it the higher efficiency rating of the two, 0.96 UEF.
It is certified for natural gas and propane. Input modulates between 13,300 and 199,900 BTU/h, so it does not run at full fire for small draws. Minimum activation flow is 0.5 GPM.
Flow depends on temperature rise. It delivers 11.2 GPM at a 35°F rise, 8.7 GPM at 45°F and 5.8 GPM at 67°F. With 2.5 GPM showerheads, the 67°F rating supports roughly two showers at once. Gas connection, venting and condensate disposal must be done by a licensed installer, following the Navien manual and local code.
