How is this unit vented and what parts do you need to vent this unit and do they come included when you buy the unit.

The venting is very important for the operation of this equipment. It must be mounted near an outside wall, and the distance needed to run the vent pipe is dependent on how many bends, etc. It is NOT included with the water heater and must be purchased separately. Amazon carries the vent piping that would work with this unit. I would check the owner's manual for the unit to see a better description of venting requirements.

It's vented thru an outside wall by use of a vent kit that pops up as an accessory to the water heater. The vent comes in various lengths, so you need to measure your installation before you order the correct kit. The vent dose not come with the unit... Again, it's an accessory.

We brought our venting separately -- not included from Rinnai. Inorder to have it inspected, it has to be properly vented.

The Rinnai requires a special vent pipe sold separately. Rinnai sells a couple different configurations, but the only other item I needed was a roofing boot (mine exited thru the roof). I found a full explanation on the installation, and materials required, in the manual, which can be found at various places on the internet.

There was one included when I bought mine. What you can do when that filter gets clogged is purchase a $4.00 vent filter (the blue ones) and just cut it to fit the unit. Works pretty well for $4.00. Saves a ton of money.

You need an open window to vent the air conditioner. There is a tube that attaches to the back of the unit and you stick it out the window so the air conditioner can blow out the hot air it sucks up and generates.

Yes, for our project it included all [Solar panel, Fan Unit, screws and cable] the parts, but that said, our high peak wall vent was just under the roof peak facing, correctly, to the south and we snaked the 10'+ Solar panel, mounted high up on the roof almost to the peak vents, and wired/plugged it in thru the roof top vent down to the attic and over to the Fan/vent. [If your fan and panel are NOT that close you may need to buy/extend the two wire/cable. Plus with full sun we can hear the fan running in the bedroom below, but is NOT very loud and only in the day time. Also we had to use cut down, scrap 2" X 4" boards to "pad" down the 3" bigger square vent grill to make it fit the fan unit and be air tight, which of course did NOT show from the outside and we made the vent removable with 4 screws and caulking for outside access to avoid the attic insulation and long crawl space to get to that end.] During a new roof install the roofer noted this fan would have worked better if we had the correct eave vents vs. the side wall vents on each end wall for roof longevity AND for removing excess heat. [The small solar panel was easily removed/unplugged to put on the new roof.] The 70 deg. Temp. cut off Sensor stops the unit from working in the colder months which was an extra $16... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002YVUOO/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 AS ALL WAYS - SAFETY FIRST WITH LADDERS AND ROOF WALKING !!! [We used a contractor which added about another $250 due to the vent carpentry work and our inability to run the roof/ladders.] Bigger question: NOT sure how long the payback will be, but did reduce the temp. some on the upper floor bedrooms where all the house heat goes with our poor/undersized central HVAC system. This was purchased to be an HVAC power saving device.

You need the proper venting kit for YOUR installation and you will need the recommended valve for cleaning and such. Don't cut corners on the installation. When installed correctly it is a charm and will save you money.

It vents directly thru an outside wall. Everything you need to vent it is included with the heater

Thank you for your interest in Goedekers! This model does need to be vented to the outside. Your apartment would need a way for that air to escape. Otherwise, this may not be the model for you. If you have any other questions, please feel free to call us at 1-888-768-1710. Thank you and have a great day! -Danielle at Goedekers

Mine is vertical venting. The unit looks beautiful in my kitchen. It's difficult to install; reason is that the lower chimney is attached to the base unit and to mount the 2 screw holes in the back is not easy.

Joann, as far as I know its built into the heater, I HAVE AN OLDER MODEL AND MY FRIEND HAS ONE LIKE THE PICTURE SHOWN. BOTH UNITS CAME with fans.

Yes it is vented. In the front it there is a mesh window. Even if you put the cover down, there is plenty of air flow.

Your unit should be vented to the outside in some manor. What I did wa make a partition that I could vent through and close the window or screen on it. I also sealed it with aluminum tape. (bought at Home Depot or an Auto parts store.)

The unit must be vented outside. A window is the most convenient, although I vented mine through a wall.There is only one hose on my unit.

The unit definitely needs ventilation. There are specs in the literature .... or you can contact Sterilight for specifications.

The vent that comes with it is a metal foil vent. But you can attach it to a metal vent and attach the metal vent to your dryer. That's what we've done.

Since the company won't answer, I went to the EdgeStar web site and understood that you can't "build-in" the unit. It's not vented. Heat is displaced through plates in it's wall panels.

It is vented in the back. I am very pleased with my unit (going on two summers now). It cools effectively and doesn't seem too noisy to me.I STAND CORRECTED! Sansan is correct: the vents are on the side.

NO VENTING REQUIRED FOR HEATER WHEN INSTALLED OUTSIDE! THIS MAKES INSTALLATION QUITE SIMPLE. Be sure you have an outside space to install that meets the requirements. Tom Swaffer tomswaxl@yahoo.com
