Our take on the Rinnai RX160iN Sensei RX Series Indoor/Outdoor Natural Gas/Propane Tankless Water Heater

The Rinnai RX160iN is a condensing tankless water heater rated up to 160,000 BTU with a 0.97 UEF, among the most efficient gas models sold. Its Adaptive Gas Valve lets one unit run on natural gas or propane without a conversion kit, which simplifies buying and installing. It mounts indoors and can go outdoors with the RXOVC vent cap accessory. Against rivals it stands out on efficiency and fuel flexibility; it has no built-in recirculation pump, so smart recirculation needs a pump or pump kit added.

Questions and answers

What is the difference between the RX160iN and the RU160iN?
Both are 160,000 BTU condensing units. The RX series adds the Adaptive Gas Valve for natural gas or propane without a conversion kit; check the model-specific venting and accessories before swapping one for the other.
Can it be installed outdoors?
Yes, but only with the Rinnai RXOVC outdoor vent cap accessory. Without it the unit is for indoor installation.
Does it have a built-in recirculation pump?
No. Smart-Circ recirculation works only when a pump or pump accessory kit is installed.
What gas does it use?
It runs on natural gas or propane. The Adaptive Gas Valve switches between fuels without a conversion kit.
What is the efficiency rating?
It has a UEF of 0.97, a condensing rating near the top of the tankless class.
What is in the box?
The heater itself. Venting, the outdoor vent cap, gas connections and recirculation pump are separate parts you plan for the install.
