Could I hook up a water hose to the cold water valve so I can use it with my pressure washer?

Probably but you wouldn't have much pressure for the tankless water heater while you're using the pressure washer. You would most likely get an error message on the tankless water heater and it might be difficult to get it corrected.

don't mount your water heater outside. Texas found out the hard way, but one rare cold snap and everyone's boilers and water heaters exploded their water lines and were A) without heat, water, or both. and B) it was a nightmare for them to restore water because everyone's boilers/water heaters are just wide-open faucets. it's not that hard to install it inside and run a vent out. if you live near the Amazon rainforest, then maybe you never have to worry about it, but anywhere in the US that has ever gotten snow is a terrible idea to install outside.

Nice job on the installation. I do a question, I just installed a rhemm indoor tankless water heater and it’s making a loud vibtration noises when I turn on the hot water line on any of my faucets. I’ve check gas line and I have 3/4 line and I also checked the vent and is taight and secure. What do you think and recommend I can check or do?

Why is the valve installed after the union? If you have to replace the heater wouldn't it be easier to have the gas valve before the union then you can turn off the gas disassemble the union and you do not have to turn off the gas at the meter?
@mwgrc
Жыл бұрын
He had one before and after the union, not sure why the one after the union is needed like your saying but he said the Rheem manual said to put it. All I can guess is safety redundancy in case one fails. Also these things are rated to last 30-40 years so it wont be me replacing it, lol

Rinnai is a solid brand, I think they’re the best but don’t quote me on that

You need to use the yellow colored tape. The white is for water lines only. The reason you can't use white is that if little bits break off in the pipe they can interfere with the gas valve. The yellow tape doesn't break into little bits apparantly.
