TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT 2" PVC VENTING UP TO 50' Install Rheem Tankless Venting to the outside can be one of the most challenging parts of installing a water heater. That’s why our engineers designed our high efficiency tankless gas water heaters with recirculation with vent runs up to 50 ft. on 2" PVC and 100 ft. on 3". Plus, homeowners love the instant hot water at the tap which reduces water waste—making the sale as easy as the installation.
