- Is this unit propane or natural gas?
- The RTG-84DVLN runs on natural gas. Rheem sells separate propane versions in the RTG line, so match the model to your fuel supply.
- How much hot water can it deliver?
- It is rated at 180,000 BTU and up to 8.4 GPM, enough for a whole house with several fixtures in use. Actual flow depends on incoming water temperature and the temperature you set.
- Can it be installed outdoors?
- No. This is an indoor model and needs to be vented outdoors per local code. Outdoor-rated RTG models exist for exterior mounting.
- Does it need electricity?
- Yes. The control board, igniter and fan need a standard household power connection, so plan an outlet near the unit.
- Is it a condensing heater?
- No. It is a non-condensing design, so it is less efficient than condensing tankless models and uses a different venting setup.
- What maintenance does it need?
- Rheem recommends periodic descaling of the heat exchanger in hard-water areas, plus checking the vent and inlet filter.
