Change your hour and flowFlow where you live
The heater gives less flow when colder incoming water needs a bigger rise.
- Cold water
- Cold water must be at least 10°F colder than the hot water setting.
- Flow estimate
- The estimate uses the lowest certified flow among the listed models. It is about 3.8 gal/min at a 70°F rise.
Flow limits
- The estimate excludes the flow needed to turn the heater on, heat lost in pipes, and installation.
- Cold water from a well or long pipe run can differ from the temperature you enter.
- Without a stated flow limit, estimates for warmer water may exceed the heater’s actual flow.
Certified figures by listed model
| Model number | UEF | Flow at a 67°F rise (gal/min) | Recovery efficiency | Draw pattern |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FDTG-70DVLN-3 | 0.82 | 4.0 | 84% | High |
| FDTG-70DVLP-3 | 0.82 | 4.0 | 84% | High |
| FDTG-R70DVELN-3 | 0.82 | 4.0 | 84% | High |
| FDTG-R70DVELP-3 | 0.82 | 4.0 | 84% | High |
UEF is the uniform energy factor. A dash means the model has no such figure.
It warms 4.0 gallons per minute of water from 58°F to 125°F in the test. The median gas tankless model heats 4.8 gallons per minute by 67°F. Its flow at a 67°F rise trails 385 of the 487 gas tankless models.
As of Oct 19, 2026, it was not listed as ENERGY STAR certified. In tests, 82% of the energy it uses ends up as hot water (UEF 0.82). Its test ran at the high level of daily hot water use. Of 399 gas tankless models with the same draw pattern, 243 have a higher UEF. On its draw pattern, the median gas tankless UEF is 0.93. When it runs, 84% of the energy it uses reaches the water (its recovery efficiency).
All 4 of its model numbers carry the same certified figures. All of its test figures are shared by 8 other basic models. Between them, those basic models carry 4 other brand names. For the full group, see the Rheem RTG-70DVLN-3.
