What it delivers

The Camplux CA686WLP 199,000 BTU Propane Tankless Water Heater is a propane tankless with a stated maximum flow of 6.9 GPM.

The listing doesn't state the BTU input, so its flow at your temperature rise can't be estimated from its own figures. The planner shows what your house needs.

Its exhaust runs hot, so the vent must be the material its manual lists, usually stainless; budget for the vent kit.

Also on the listing: connections: 3/4" npt; material: Copper, Metal; model: CA686WLP.

The listing gives dimensions of 11.6 in (W) x 16.7 in (H) and a weight of 37.5 lb.
