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 4.2 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RUTG-84XLN-3 | 0.82 | 4.4 | 85% | High |
| RUTG-84XLP-3 | 0.82 | 4.4 | 85% | High |
UEF is the uniform energy factor. A dash means the model has no such figure.
It heats 4.4 gallons per minute of water by 67°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 339 of the 487 gas tankless models.
It was not listed as ENERGY STAR certified on Oct 19, 2026. In tests, 82% of the energy it uses ends up as hot water (UEF 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. A UEF of 0.93 is the median for its type and draw pattern. Of the energy it spends heating water, 85% ends up in it (its recovery efficiency).
It is the basic model for RUTG-84XLN-3 and RUTG-84XLP-3. All of its test figures are shared by 3 other basic models. Those basic models are sold with Friedrich, Rheem, and Richmond as their brand names. For the full group, see the Rheem RTG-84XLN-3 page.
