Description
Rheem PROP-G50-50U-RH-HE-EC3 is a 50 gallon, 50,000 Btu/h Professional Prestige® Maximus natural gas water heater.
This 50-gallon natural gas water heater is listed for power vent or power direct vent installation using polypropylene, PVC or CPVC vent material in 2", 3" or 4" sizes. The manufacturer lists a built-in condensate neutralizer, zero clearance on the sides and back, and EcoNet Wi-Fi with a leak sensor.
Gas water heaters need a proper vent, combustion air and a gas line sized for the input, and natural gas and propane models are not interchangeable, so confirm the fuel type before ordering. Check the tank height and diameter against the space, line up the hot and cold connections with the existing piping, and have the installation follow the manufacturer's manual and local code. A power vent model also needs a nearby 120 V outlet.
