UEF is the uniform energy factor. A dash means the model has no such figure.

It holds 48 gallons in the test, 2 gallons less than its 50-gallon sold size. Over one hour from a full tank, it gave 80 gallons in the test (its first-hour rating). That is 32 gallons more than its tank holds, since it reheats during the hour. In the first hour, 323 of the 763 gas storage models give more hot water. The median gas storage model gives 78 gallons in its first hour.

It was not listed as ENERGY STAR certified on Oct 26, 2026. In the test, 32% of its energy does not reach the hot water (UEF 0.68). Its test ran at the high level of daily hot water use. Among 434 gas storage models on its draw pattern, 185 have a higher UEF. On its draw pattern, the median gas storage UEF is 0.66. Of the energy spent to reheat water, 79% goes into it (its recovery efficiency).

Its 3 model numbers are RG2PDV50S*N, RG2PDV50S*X, and URG2PDV50S*N. All of its test figures are shared by one other basic model. That one is listed under the JETGLAS brand.
