What it delivers
The Noritz NRC71DVNG Natural Gas Condensing Tankless Water Heater is a condensing gas tankless with a stated maximum flow of 7.1 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.
As a condensing unit it vents in the plastic pipe (PVC, CPVC or polypropylene) its manual lists and drains an acidic condensate, usually through a neutralizer.
The listing describes its venting as: Direct Vent.
Also on the listing: material: Ceramic/Porcelain and Stainless Steel; model: NRC71DVNG; warranty: 12 Year Heat Exchanger, 5 Year Parts, 1 Year Labor.
The listing gives dimensions of 17 in (W) x 27 in (H) and a weight of 41 lb.
