Started by inspecting the previous traditional tank-type water heater installation.
After shutting off the gas and water valves, we unhook the gas and water hookups, then drain the water heater of water.
After moving the previous tank-type water heater we are ready to begin installation of a new energy efficient tankless water heater. We begin by installing new shorter water pipes through the floor to the basement, using the previous holes in the floor. We screw two foot long 2" x 4" pieces of wood to the studs inside the wall, giving us a secure place to mount our tankless water heater. We then use Stainless Steel Wound Water hoses to go to the cold water intake and hot water output. Our tank-type water heater left a great place for our new Dual-Chamber Intake/Exhaust Flue Pipe.
After the install was complete, Jim held the exhaust after 15 minutes of run time to show how the Dual-Chamber Intake/Exhaust Flue Pipe creates very little heat along the pipe.
Our mission was complete in one afternoon, completed by three guys with general knowledge in plumbing and construction.
This is a nice tip about installing a tankless water heater. But for safe measure have it installed by a professional and licensed contractor.
