Noritz NR98SV (GQ-2857WX-F US)
Noritz NR98SV (GQ-2857WX-F US) is in the DOE listing as of Oct 26, 2026.
It has a certified UEF of 0.82 and a certified flow of 5.1 gal/min at a 67°F rise.
Its certified flow is 5.1 gal/min at a 67°F rise, while Noritz advertises 9.8 gal/min, no rise stated (Read Oct 5, 2026), so a comparison at the same rise is not possible.

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 4.9 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.

UEF is the uniform energy factor. A dash means the model has no such figure.
It warms 5.1 gallons per minute of water from 58°F to 125°F in the test. The gas tankless type has a median flow of 4.8 gallons per minute. Its flow at a 67°F rise trails 167 of the 487 gas tankless models.
As of Oct 26, 2026, it was not listed as ENERGY STAR certified. In tests, 82% of the energy went to hot water, so its UEF is 0.82. The daily hot water use in the test, called its draw pattern, was high. Of 399 gas tankless models with the same draw pattern, 243 have a higher UEF and 72 a lower one. For its type and draw pattern, the median UEF is 0.93. While it heats water, 85% of the energy used goes into the water (its recovery efficiency).
It is sold under 5 model numbers in all. All of its test figures are shared by 2 other basic models. Of those, one or more are under the Ranein and Vancepic brands.
