The Rheem RTG-70DVLP-3 is an indoor, direct vent, non-condensing tankless water heater that runs on propane. It is part of the Rheem RTG Series and has a newer design that is up to 10% smaller and up to 22% lighter than before. The smaller size and lower weight are meant to make one-person installation and servicing easier.
Hot-Start Programming minimizes cold water bursts between back-to-back uses. The unit is up to 34% more efficient than a standard 50-gallon tank water heater. It meets 14 ng/J NOx requirements and complies with SCAQMD Rule 1146.2.
The vent run can be up to 43 ft. Side-to-side clearance is 1/2". The unit is compatible with a 1/2" gas line, subject to local code.
