Description
RUUD PRO+G50S-40N-RU61 is a 50 gallon short natural gas water heater.
This 50-gallon short natural gas tank water heater has a 40,000 Btu/h maximum input, 3/4" MIP hot and cold connections and a 1/2" gas inlet. Its listed tank height is 51-1/8" with a 23" diameter, and it is an atmospheric vent model for 3" or 4" B-vent.
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.
