Can I add a power vent to this water heater?

Be better off to buy new with vent. You are saying take one off of old right

Yes, you could do that. I had the same problem and installed it on a porch directly behind my sink. The only other restriction would be that you need a drain for the temperature - pressure relief valve.

that's how most are installed. It's no problem. you need to run the water through the unit with the power off to purge any air prior to turning the unit on.

I installed mine as a bathroom exhaust vent. I'd advise to check with the retailer on that question.

Check with your plumber or HVAC guy, but I doubt it. These on demand water heaters run pretty hot so need their own dedicated venting kit.

Bernard, not positive if you can do so. Best to contact the company. If you look online, you should be able to locate customer service. I vented ours through the window and it worked very well. My guess would be that you would need a good seal around the vent tube to do so.

Jodi, I have no idea as the unit I purchased was to replace an existing vent on a house with siding. Sorry

Yes, you can hook up a drain hose (unit has to be placed higher than drain for water to evacuate). Don't know about power usage.

You should be able to.Instead of using the vent mount,just use the old mount.

Yes, provided the power is 125Vt A/C or you can see if they have a unit that matches the power requirements as used in your area. I am very happy with my installed unit and has cut down my use of water as I had to leave the water run a long time before the water would get hot!

I would advise to be careful before purchasing this unit. It requires specialized venting for the exhaust system, hard to find and expensive. Not sure what temp. it reaches, might look at going with an RV style water heater.

Yes, you need to buy a valves and hookups separete. It is just water heater.

Yes it needs to be vented outside like any gas water heater, should use stainless double wall vent pipe

It has to be vented yes. Where you vent it is up to you I suppose. If you want to push your hot air up there you can.

I only use it as a direct vent (pvc vent) water heater. We have been very pleased with it.
