Before Installing a Propane Tankless Water Heater
What you need to know about inexpensive propane tankless water heaters before you plan to purchase one. I give more details on our blog post https://livingasustainabledream.com/
To sum up. You need to know the 5 following things.
1) Hard water build up and corrosion… Tankless water heater manufactures admit that hard water build up could ruin their system. They encourage the homeowner to purchase expensive clean out connectors after the purchase of their tankless water system. Something the homeowner doesn’t always know upfront.
2) Venting… Not all the venting pipe is included and purchasing the right size pieces get expensive if the company is not using a standard or universal size outlet. Wall thimble/fire stoppers are surprisingly not included and should be when selling the single walled vent pipe.
3) Incomplete instructions… The instructions are vague at best and the homeowner if inexperienced is left in a real quandary. The homeowner has a choice to install the system as is and not be in code, which could result in a fire hazard, begin researching gas vent systems and become self-educated on how to appropriately install the system, or open up the phone book and call a licensed plumber to install.
4) Not all parts are included… The propane tankless water heater doesn’t include all the parts necessary for install. Venting pipe also mentioned earlier, but the manufacturer/distributor specifically said to maintain the warranty, I had to purchase a “Y” strainer.
5) Costs rapidly increase... Plumbing parts to hook the tankless water system into the domestic water supply start to add up quickly and become costly as well as the parts necessary to vent the unit outside.
