Is there anything else that I need to purchase to replace my current hot water heater?

Yes there are the plumbing fixtures that go between this Rheem and your water lines. These fixtures are of a certain kind and when you go to checkout they should be offered. You might want to contact a plumber or Rheem to make sure you are getting the right stuff. I hired someone to install for me and he knew what to get and what to do. Take care and God Bless.

Yes! You'll need the service valves, venting pipe, condensation line, probably a 3/4" gas line and make sure you have an outlet nearby

Looks EXACTLY like the one I just replaced on a 7 year old Sears Power Miser 12 (model 153.331544) 50 gallon natural gas hot water heater. Worked perfectly once installed. Nice kit too, coming with a new door seal and a wrap-around dust filter that fits around the outside of the hot water heater base. And best of all, less than half the price of the same part anywhere else!

Do what I did. Call delta and they'll be able to tell you what exactly you will need. There are many different models. By the way, your plumber is right.

Most plumbing supply companies can order replacements. Home Depot online might be able to help as well.

You should have it installed on its own deticated circuit. If your removing an older heater and replacing it with this one you should be fine installing it yourself.

No, you need to buy the matching thermostat which fastens on the end of the heater.

I have not yet had to replace mine, but if/when that time comes I would think that some of heat gun elements offered on ebay, compatible w/ Liester or Bak Rion heating guns would work as a replacement. I second the recommendation to let the heat gun run on level zero to allow the element to cool after use. I just let it run until the gun nozzle is cool to the touch.

Hi, unfortunately probably not. Your existing water heater likely uses PVC venting and this tankless will melt it during exhaust. If you have a relatively short, straight length then it won't be too expensive to vent. But you NEED stainless steel venting rated for this. While i'm at it, you may not have the right LP line either. check your line, if it's less than 3/4" you will need to replace it. I had 1/2" LP line and PVC venting. I ended up going cheap 50 gal electric. Was way to expensive to replace everything for me

Make sure you check the model number on your hot water heater and look at your tank to if it the same then it well fit and make sure you have the tool for the ring

The heating system is stainless steel-lined, which eliminates water contact with the heating element, which I understand is aluminum. This should help extend the life of the heating element

I would consider a small water pump on the hot supply at the waterheater. A plumber will need to help, as the return is on the cold water line. It uses very little electric power, (25-30 watts) and can be timed to turn on and off.

I would assume you would.t need the kit, but you do need a electrical connection. My heater is a replacement for one already in place. Works great.

I think this can replace your thermostat. You didn't say if the system was electric or gas (hot water) heating but the heavy current is probably being handled by a system relay. You can download the manual and installation document from Honeywell for additional information, and/or check with a heating contractor to be sure.

I think you would have to be pretty creative with the hot water line...maybe route it under the floor if possible, or through the walls. For a lot more money you could buy a seat with its own heater also. Consulting a plumber would be a good idea as well.

price on an inner tank for that model is $262.00. (80-1360) New water heater is 605.00. (80-1350)

All water heaters have the same size hex and same size thread. You will probably need a nut driver impact wrench to break it loose. I bought one just for that occasion. A 4 foot breaker bar was not enough. Good luck

everything I need comes with the Steam Dynamo. If you need replacements, I suggest you contact the company.
