The vent is that black unit atop. It vents side to side and the black sheet metal is held via clips. I think it'd be a lot of work to adapt it. Directions say not to use inside as it outputs carbon monoxide. Easier to put up a vertical wall and place a piece of sheet metal where the vent is

Not Legally, there is no way, because the manufacturer, did not design it that way... That Said, we have it in a building that has tons of open air, and it worked fine... it was still indoors but kinda not. In most states it's also illegal to have a propane tank indoors, (living areas),, you should check with the local authorities.. a person can get creative, though !!

have to consider the carbon monoxide threat!!! But I used a dryer vent and fit it to the exhaust port and hung it from a window. It's a bit too risky, and I have a draager meter that gives me ppm, so i felt ok temporarily, but the box is pretty clear that it's made for outdoor use only. I remember seeing a few other posts where some people we experimenting with venting it, the problem is getting a tight seal. I would say no!

Yes, the unit can be vented through an outside wall with the recommended Rinnai/Ubbink vent piping. I would recommend obtaining the Rinnai RU80 Installation manual, (available for download), on the Rinnai website. Proper venting is discussed in great detail as is other important installation requirements.Good luck with your install, this is a quality water heating devise, installed properly.

The unit must be vented outside. A window is the most convenient, although I vented mine through a wall.There is only one hose on my unit.

It is not recommended for indoor use but if must, make sure the area is well ventilated

Yes. It needs to be able to vent in and out to function. The vent should come from outdoors to ensure no bad odors or gases come into the living spaces.

Yes, unfortunately. I bought this unit for an office without a window and was disappointed to find it needs to be vented, and the vent hose itself is rather obtrusive.

Yes. it can be set to vent outside. I replaced an older GE unit with this one and it fit right into the venting that existed.

Yes you can vent to an enclosed Sunroom. But, your Sunroom will receive all the moisture and heat generated from your Koldfront Air Conditioner. So, It would be much better if you could open a window or door to the outside in order to remove the heat and moisture that will accumulate in said 'Sunroom'............

I definitely would NOT use this inside. In order for it to work it needs to get really hot. It will likely ruin your indoor burners. Also there will be way too much smoke. There is no way to have proper ventilation indoors for it.

I use it outside. I think it can be vented to use indoors, but not sure. I use it for a portable shower. Everything is mounted on a hand cart and as long as the hose reaches you have hot water.

If you don't have any way to vent outside like windows or something, you might be able to build a water filter to clear the exhaust. It wouldn't be too hard and would only require some engineering and pvc.

Thank you for your interest in Goedekers! This model does need to be vented to the outside. Your apartment would need a way for that air to escape. Otherwise, this may not be the model for you. If you have any other questions, please feel free to call us at 1-888-768-1710. Thank you and have a great day! -Danielle at Goedekers

You can recirculate the vent back to the kitchen or vent it outside. Either or will work

it is not for inside the house at all. I have used it in a well ventilated garage though.

It could produce a lot of smoke if allowed to really heat up, but as a cook I heat to the point of light smoke then add the food, so using it inside without a vent isn't an issue.

No you cannot, this unit needs to be connected to a ducting that is properly vented to the outside!

Yes it can be installed inside with a vent. But the water and the unit needs to be in a warm area. it will take a long time to let the water run before it get's hot and then in less then 20 mins it turns cold again.
