I had a plumber install and he did not see need for attaching to the wall or the floor. Just sits on the floor of the cabinet and works great..

No, you supply 2 threated adapters and your pipe would be cut and pump put inline with a little rerouting to water heater drain.

It depends upon how long the extension cord is--my heater will trip my 15 amp power strip. As the other person suggests, for a long cord you need heavy duty.

You need apr. 2 ft of copper or gal. on each side of water heater, I had pvc and cpvc to mine to start and the cold side melted and burst, the copper will cool down before heat reached the pvc, Carl

Yes. this should do a fine job for her. Just make sure you have 2-3 feet of clearance around the heater so it's not up against anything.

If you are not replacing a similar heater, then you will need 4 inch B-vent venting. A minimum of a 6 foot vertical run is required plus rain cap, roof flashing, and storm collar. Optional are the isolation valves.

Not necessary, When it is attached to your gas line connector it stabilizes it and with the grate over it, we have had no problems .

there are 2 aspects: electrical and plumbing. If you do not have the right guage wiring and breaker size then this electrical work has to be done. In addition you need a shutoff switch near the unit in case power has to be turned off to the unit. For the plumbing if the tankless is replacing and existing hot water heater that was in the same area, then the plumbing connections are more straight forward as described in the installation booklet. If the tankless is in a new location then there is a bunch of plumbing required. The installation booklet is pretty explicit on what is need and what connections are needed to the tankless. s there are 2 aspects: electrical and plumbing.

Yes you do need electricity the unit has many sensors and a fan that needs electricity it runs on standard household power 110volts. I replaced my old water heater that was a natural gas unit and already had a gas line that I used it is a 3/4" service and seems to work well

Yes, I have 2" and the heater came with fittings that would, or could have adapted to something other than what I had.

I ditto the suggestion to visit mfg site. All sorts of ideas there to help you calculate your demand. I love this unit and have never been without hot water since installing

yes - however you are limited to the volume of water being consumed vs capacity of heater

Yes no problem but its dependent on the water pressure supply it's attached to

My water heater, in a loft, had little more than a foot of overhead clearance and I was able to jockey it in on an angle. Just remember to clean out the threaded opening, tape the thread of the new rod with teflon, and straighten the rod as you put it in.

The location of the handle in the picture is as far back as it goes. It's all the way up to for the hot water. You should have plenty of room!

The heater has to have clearance from the wall, but the cord is not really visible unless you get close to the wall and look for it. I'd say it's a non-issue, personally.

The National Electrical Code requires wiring and overcurrent protection to be sized at 125% of the load for electric water heaters. A 60 amp breaker is the same price as a 40 or 50. It is the wire that costs more. #6 wire is required for a 60 amp circuit. If you undersize the wire it could overheat and catch fire. Protect your family and follow the manufacturers sizing for this, or any other, electrical device. Your families lives are worth the extra money. �
