do I have to install a exhaust pipe to vent outside?

Yes, you do. All the specs for the vent pipe are in the instruction manual. And there is no pilot light to answer another question. It has an electric igniter. A pilot light would defeat the purpose of having an 'on demand' water heater. There are small window type openings that allow you to see a flame when the water heater is working.

Yes, and you'll want to try to locate it away from a window that is open much. You can definitely smell the exhaust. I love our unit, but my husband vented it right under my kitchen window (which is open most of the spring, summer, and fall), and I can smell when it starts up.

Yes it needs to be vented outside like any gas water heater, should use stainless double wall vent pipe

Just as you need an exhaust system for your regular water heater, you need one for the tankless. It is important to review the specifications to determine the exhaust system component requirements of each type of water heater. The correct type and configuration is important to preserve your warranty rights.

Yes absolutely you have to...I replaced a gas fired hot water tank so we already had the exhaust installed. I have been very happy with the Takagi.

This unit needs to go outside. You can get other units that can go inside but they do require additional venting

The unit is designed for outdoor use. It has intake and exhaust built in. So you do not need additional venting.

To use it as an an air condioner, you do need to run the hose to the outside. Hot air is vented out thru the hose, and cold air comes out of the vent into the room. When using as a dehumidifier, the exhaust hose does not need to vent outside, but you will get no cooling.

I sure you can, but I don't think I would risk it. I know that they have a unit designed to bemounted outside and I believe the only differences are the unit is insulated to help ambient moisture to effect the interior electronics, weather protection, and the venting is direct, rather then a B-vent. One thing to keep in mind, a minium water pressure is very important for this unit to operate correctly.

It's best to mount this close to the ceiling. On the back there is a 4 inch exhaust. This will need to be vented to the outside at that approximate height.

Yes, two options to connect to vent outside or just vent air through filter.

You need access to a window for exhaust and a hose (or something) for drainage.

The exhaust and air intake have to be vented to the the outside other than through the chimney. In this model, the vent pipe is double walled using a 3"/5" B-vent. The inner 3" vents exhaust and the outer vent is the air intake. It is important to use Rheem approved B-vents. The B-vents are a particular grade of metal and have gaskets to seal the inner connection. The B-vents are expensive. The B-vents must also terminate outside following specific code requirements as to distances from windows, doors, etc. the B-vent can terminate through the roof or horizontally through a wall as long as requirements are satisfied.

Yes, you need to vent it for it to work properly. The window kit is super easy to install and remove. I recommend this unit.

There is no exhaust pipe and no window kit is needed. Unlike portable air conditioners that need to release the hot air from the unit by using an exhaust pipe and window kit, the Honeywell air cooler doesnt. It is built to just cool the hot air. I have had a portable air conditioner before and I prefer the Honeywell air cooler.

I am no expert. But it seems to me that as long as your exhaust pipe is not 90 degrees - anywhere - and that the distance to outside is short & it is away from overhang, you're OK. ....

Usually it is a straight run of pipe with a flap on the hood outside so you should be OK hope this is helpful

Must be outside. The venting and unit are one. That's what makes the product great. They have indorr units. The must be vented to the outside.

Yes, the large round fitting you see in the picture is the vent to outside. you need to attach a hose, not included, or a piece of duct work from the fan outlet to an outside area.

You can vent to the outside, similar to a portable ac. I do not use the hose attachments. The filter on the back does the job and well. If I had a crawl space, I would use the hose to vent it. The cartridges are expensive but so worth it.

I don't think so. You can do that by using the roof vent with exhaust flapper.
