Rinnai tankless hot water unit requires a 3/4 gas supply line. When a 180,000 BTU gas meter.
Use cast iron pipe as opposed to flexible pipe line. Most installer will opt for the flexible gas hose but it has been tested in some states in America. That if lighting were to strike the house and the gas pipe get energized with electricity. The gas flex hoses are know to rupture, and can cause house fires.
What NOT to do.
We recommend that cast iron gas piping be used given the over welling test data. To prevent a fire after a lighting strike, use a "blocking" clap. One end of the ground is attached to the gas supply pipe the other is attached to the city water supply line inlet. This ground provides a path for the electrical current. The energy is passed into the ground with out any damage to the house and electrical appliances.
