This was an exact replacement for the old one that lasted about 10 years. kzitem.infoUgkx7yWIKcrbA9KMHkGSfcgxW2lsjHT6B8Sh The top of my mitigation tube by my roofline was just a 90 elbow which allowed too much debris to fall down into the fan, eventually ruining it. Without this issue, I bet it would have kept running another 10 years. When I replaced this fan, I added an extra elbow joint so the top tube now it does a 180, which should solve that problem. The radon guys around here wanted to charge me a $300 diagnostic fee, then parts/labor (probably close to $600 total). I installed this all by myself in about an hour for the cost of the fan; it would probably be even easier/faster with two people. FYI the manufacturer's warranty greatly differs depending on whether you install it yourself (1 yr warranty) or have a licensed installer do it (10 yrs).

I watched this a couple of times in preparation for mounting a Navien NPE-180S. There are a lot of comments below about lack of sediment trap on the gas lines, or white teflon tape on the gas line, or using paste in conjunction with tape. The important thing for me is the technique used to install the valves which, btw, is the title of the video. There are plenty of videos on the merits of paste vs. tape, yellow tape for gas lines, how to's on sediment traps, and more - go watch those videos! I apprecicate Charman for putting together this video. Like others below it helped me get my unit ready while highlighting important considerations such as the relief valve, using two wrenches, etc.

Very nice video but when using Teflon and pipe dope teflon is a thread lubricant to keep threads from binding and pipe dope is a thread sealant what should be applied after Teflon tape, there's also Teflon impregnated pipe dope which can be used by itself. I also noticed during your install there is no drip leg on your gas line before your valve, I felt this was worth mentioning to not only meet code but for safety. in one of these videos I would like to eventually see somebody include the 120 volt connection as well as the thermostat connection and the venting.

This type A tankless water heater doesn't need or requires a duct for vent. There isn't a 120 volts power cord because the appliance probably runs with a couple of two 1.5 volts batteries or it has a hydropower water valve that generates voltage to activate the gas valve and the Sparks module. The gas line is missing the safety valve that is supposed to be handy near the unit.

Tape is to keep from having threads bind up, paste is a thread sealant. you should be using tape first and paste after if you're going to do it that way, otherwise only use paste by itself.

The whole point is to attach the hoses first which necessitates taking off the caps prior to turning to flush. Otherwise water from the tank is going to run everywhere instead of in the bucket.

Our old on demand / tank-less water heater system is messed up. This one has a recalculation pump. It seem we only get hot water when another hot water tap is open than it seems to heat water fine than after a minute the water flow completely shuts off. If I turn the hot water valve off for a minute or so it will turn on with good flow for about a minute than completely shuts off the water flow. Anyone every had this issue, and how did you fix it ? Thanks

Look for Webstone valves on the internet. Amazon sells them, as do several plumbing supply houses who have HVAC equipment. There are several different sizes etc. so be sure you get the ones for 3/4 " supply for Tankless Water heaters. A set of the valves for tankless heaters will cost about $80. They are quality made, with two ball valves for each unit (one unit for hot water, one for cold). Well worth it. Then to use them to flush your Tankless heater, go to Harbor Freight tools or a big box store and buy what you need to end up with two 3-4-foot lengths of regular garden hose with a female connector on one end if each, and a $15 small water pump (a submersible pump used for your backyard fish pond works fine ...) Get what ever fitting is needed to connect one of those garden hose pieces to the pump you purchase. (hose barb or whatever). One of those orange Home Depot 5 gal buckets is useful too. With the Webstone valves, the pump and two bits of hose, (plus a gallon of vinegar) you've got all you need to easily flush your heater. Turn off your tankless heater. Using the Webstone flush valve, connect the tankless hot water side to your new little pump, and the tankless cold water outlet (the flush outlet on the Webstone valve) to the other hose. Close the big ball valves on the Webstone to isolate the tankless heater, then open both of the flushing valves on the Webstone units. Put both hoses in a bucket with the vinegar and let it circulate for 45-60 minutes. When done, close the cold water flush valve, disconnect your pump from the end of the hot water flushing hose, and open the main valve for cold water to flush out the vinegar from your tankless heater with fresh water.
