The Rinnai REP199iN is an indoor, natural gas, non-condensing tankless water heater with a built-in recirculation pump. It is rated at 7.9 GPM and 199,000 BTU. It is sized for small to medium homes or remodels and is about the size of a small suitcase.
It heats water only when hot water is needed, and it can supply multiple fixtures at the same time. Smart-Circ recirculation learns your water usage patterns and provides hot water on your schedule. Homes without a dedicated return line need a thermal bypass valve, which is sold separately, to use recirculation.
It can be installed in non-traditional spaces such as crawl spaces and attics. The concentric PVC/CPVC venting uses an inner pipe for exhaust and an outer pipe for fresh outdoor air. This makes it a direct-vent system with one penetration through the wall or roof, either vertical or horizontal. Professional installation is required.
