Does the unit have a built in power exhaust and what is the maximal venting distance?

It depends on what material are you using and how many elbows you may need. Rinnai now allow you to use CPVC exhaust pipe which gives you a lot more distance and cheaper and you could buy from many pluming store, not Home Depot. For air intake, you may use PVC pipe and you have plenty of room. I spent lot of time to find the facts( almost 3 months to prepare to get all informations, many phone calls to company and stores for expert opinion, finally I realized not many people know accurately even some doing this business ) which I could give you more if I have your email address since I became a kind of expert. I installed myself with a my semipro friend last november and am very happy so far. Company recommends their own trained technician, but their price is unbelievably high. If you are a handy man, you can do it like any other people. I bought most material from Home Depot except for adopter for CPVC and CPVC pipe. I bought this unit and adopter from Amazon, much much cheaper than stores ( almost double ) All together It cost about 2500$ or less. I still have charts for vent lengths some body e mailed to me, but some how I can't send to you by this, not working. Another thing before I forget, is your gas line which should fit requirement. You have to call your gas company whether you need to change your gas meter or gas line for BTU of this unit and location of this unit in your house. Distance from gas meter decides, usually it is OK but very important for proper function. You could find the chart from google.

You have to have the exhaust hose vented out a window. Otherwise you are defeating the purpose of cool air and the hot exhaust.

I don't believe this unit has a vent/exhaust control. If it did, you would see an adjustable lever at the bottom of the louvers! Ventilation featuresare not installed on small window units.

Yes, the exhaust can be vented to the outside of the house. I do not know how many CFM.

The unit is designed for outdoor use. It has intake and exhaust built in. So you do not need additional venting.

Yes it will , but I didn't use mine because the unit is very quite anyway,but I did exhaust it out side,if you don't exhaust outside you might want to use it.It's what ever you choose. Bob

This item has a built in blower/fan at the top front of the unit. It's the grate looking bar shown in the picture on the face plate. The air intake is the grate that is located at the top of the unit that isn't on the front.

No it does not have to be vented to the outside via a vent. Exhaust works fine within it's self.

Mine install was also in the basement and allowed for a 2" air intake and a 2" exhaust out the side of the house. The manual provides for other options including roof vent.

We threw our unit away. Stopped working right after the warranty expired. Please avoid. If you insist on purchaing, the window vent was about 6 inches in height. Good luck.

The vent pipe. Depends on where you are venting and how long the exhaust needs to be.

Yes, the unit is vented to the back. I get a lot of compliments on it. Best money I spent all year. No one beats Amazon's prices. I got the bang for my buck with this one.

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, and you'll want to try to locate it away from a window that is open much. You can definitely smell the exhaust. I love our unit, but my husband vented it right under my kitchen window (which is open most of the spring, summer, and fall), and I can smell when it starts up.

Not sure, sorry... But take item number and check it with your type of exhaust...amazing sound without being too loud as compared to exhausts placed by themselves

Hi you will need a 110 power cord, exhaust vent piping & a flexible gas line all based on the distance to the unit.

Sorry but I can't find that anywhere on the motor or in the installation sheet. There are several things missing from the info they give you. Also the sizing they recommend is based on square footage, but should be on the cubic footage of the area to be vented. My fan works great, but does not adequately vent my attic despite what they state. I had to add 2 more box fans in order to get enough venting.
