We had the 3/4 gas line and it was not sufficient. You will also need to get the flue from Rheem. It has a pipe within a pipe as I heard it explained. It allows air to come into the unit as well as letting air out for proper ventilation. It was very tough for us to find it and it was pretty expensive. We would have also had to put this flue through the roof which meant cutting a hole and patching around it to ensure a good seal on the roof.

At our altitude (6,350 ft) we needed 3/4 inch pipe. You need to buy the fittings and chimney pipe. Your installer should be able to help you.

Minimum size gas line is 3/4". The one I bought came with the shut off valves for the gas and water, but some don't. None of them come with the vent cap and special double wall 5" exhaust duck. It isn't required but you should consider a good drip pan since it does not come with one. It needs electricity. It has a 110V cord/plug, but you have to have an outlet to plug it into. It comes with the remote mounted controller, but it only has about 10' of cord. If you are mounting this in an attic and mounting the control panel down on the main floor you will most likely have to buy some more thermostat cord. It is readily available at any home improvement center and is cheap. Minimum size gas line is 3/4". The one I bought came with the shut off valves for the gas and water, but some don't.

I installed this unit with a one inch gas line, and you might have to get a fitting or two, and definitely get the service valve kit I know it's a little more but you will be glad you did when it comes time to service

Hi Becky, not sure what size gas line is needed. I can tell you that we needed several parts in addition to the water heater. Overall very satisfied with it. Enjoy!

No,it does not come with anything and it is very difficult to find vents. It need 3/4" gas pipeline to work.

It calls for 3/4" gas line to the heater. Everything you need is not with the heater. My husband called Rheem about the exhaust pipes & vent and the gentleman gave him prices on it and suggested he shop around for a better price. As it turned out, the better price was on Amazon! It does have to be vented outdoors.

If you don't have natural gas coming to your home than you will need to exchange the heater for a propane model. If you have natural gas coming through your home through a main gas line in the street you will need to contact a plumber or heating & cooling contractor to make the connection for you. You can contact me for any more questions at gsecher@gmail.com.

Yes! You'll need the service valves, venting pipe, condensation line, probably a 3/4" gas line and make sure you have an outlet nearby

just the gas line kit that is sold by amozon might have to measure how long of a gas line you will need if you are using propane you will need a tank over 100 gallons and have it piped to the area where the unit is located.

Purchased the fuel line and quick fittings from Amazon/ It's threaded. So, you will need alittle thread tape/sealant, and a 1/4" fitting for the fuel line. I purchased, Moeller Marine Fuel Tank NPT Connector (Johnson/Evinrude, 1/4", Male). Was $9.99. Tank, fuel line, and fitting worked great so far. No leaks, and much better price than at a marine store.

This unit comes ready to connect to no smaller than a 100lb. propane tank...it also can be switched over to hook up to your home's gas line. Either way, it MUST be installed by Professional Pool and Plumbing services...it also requires a permit/inspection by your town. It cost me over $1,100 just for the installation. Take a look at the manual for this unit at Pentair's website as well as call them at the number printed on the manual. Also check the codes for your town. Best to get ALL the info. before jumping in. God Bless!

yup, you have to get a hose, regulator and tank. Works much better with gas, tried it with flux core wire and was very hot and messy. Hobart makes a fixed flow regulator that I have and it seems to work well, just cant tell whats left in the tank.

yes comes with a gas hose. all you need is a 3/8" male threaded outlet on your house. most houses have a 1/2" threaded male outlet so you might need a convertor. grill is probably 2 feet less wide than the specified width since the side tables are about 1 foot each. And yes, you can take them off if needed.

Check the ad for your answers, it tells you what comes with it. However, that said, you use the original bolts. It's been 2 years since I got it, and don't think the gaskets came with it. And the thermostat is a separate item.

The only thing needed inline is a ball valve to manually regulate the gas. I put a 8" piece of 1/2" gas pipe then a ball valve and finally a fitting to attach the hose to and it works great.

You will need part number 316455430 for your gas range. At least that is what comes up when I search your model number.

You will need a regulator (I forget the PSI but it's in the installation manual) rigid pipe or code-compliant flex hose and the services of a licensed gas installer.

Everything you need came with the pool. Just to be on the safe side I bought the 1/4" to 1/2" fitting at lowes for a couple of dollars

you need to find out what the heater is set up for natural gas or propane. If it is propane then of course you can get a tank delivered. if it is set up for natural gas then if you live where it is in the road or if you have a natural gas water heater or funace then you could have a plumber pipe a line to where you want it. just make sure to find out what the heater is set up for. You can buy the new items to convert it to what ever you are going to be using.

Just need basic plumbing supplies with it and a plumber to hook up gas lines

I'm assuming from the way you referred to 'my LP source' that you have a tank, regulator, valve, and probably a flex line. My best recollection is this takes a 1/2" MPT connection but someone in the plumbing department will know for sure. I'm pretty sure I connected mine to standard black threaded gas line. My guess is you'll have a brass connection to your line.

Id would recommend it, I was lucky and already had a gas line and electrical outlet, all I had to do was cut a three inch hole through my wall for the direct vent to the outside. I didn't need to buy any extra parts.
