Navien Tankless Water Heater Installation for Unlimited Hot Water

Background:

A Spartanburg customer recently had a new walk-in tub installed in their home. The customer wanted to ensure that they could fill it up with hot water as needed, without worrying about running out. We suggested the Navien NPE-240A2 tankless water heater because of its reputation for providing unlimited hot water, energy-efficient performance, and reliable water heating — all powered by natural gas.

Challenges:

To make the Navien tankless water heater installation possible, several challenges had to be addressed:

1. Gas Meter: To meet the needs of the new Navien tankless water heater, the customer requested Piedmont Natural Gas connect their house to gas with a new 2lb meter. This larger gas meter would provide the necessary natural gas supply to power the high-efficiency water heater, ensuring unlimited hot water for the walk-in tub and other household needs.
2. Ventilation: As with any tankless water heater, proper venting is crucial to ensure safe and efficient operation. The system required specialized venting that needed to be installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
3. Water Connections: Proper plumbing connections were necessary to integrate the tankless system with the home’s water supply.

The Process:

1. The Process:

The first step in the installation process was working with Piedmont Natural Gas to get this customer connected to the utility. Piedmont marked where the new gas meter would be, and we ran black iron pipe to connect to the new Navien tankless water heater. The pipe installation was done with precision, ensuring all the connections were secure and up to code. In addition, we installed the necessary gas regulators and shut-off valves to ensure safe operation of the system.

2. Plumbing and Water Connections:


Using PEX pipe, which is durable and efficient for residential applications, we made the necessary water connections from the tankless unit to the home’s existing plumbing system. This ensures a consistent flow of water into the heater and out to the taps, showers, and the new walk-in tub

3. Plumbing and Water Connections:

Proper venting is essential to the performance and safety of any tankless water heater. We carefully installed the appropriate venting system for the Navien unit, ensuring it complied with all local codes and manufacturer specifications. This venting system allows for the safe expulsion of gases and helps maintain the unit's efficiency by ensuring it operates with proper airflow

4. Navien Peak Flow Scale Prevention System:

To further enhance the performance and longevity of the system, we installed the Navien Peak Flow Scale Prevention System. This innovative system helps prevent the buildup of scale in the unit, which can reduce efficiency over time. With this added feature, the customer can enjoy optimal performance and extend the life of the Navien tankless water heater

5. Inspections and Final Setup:

After all the installation work was completed, we ensured the system was thoroughly inspected by the city’s code enforcement. Once the inspections were passed, Piedmont Natural Gas set the new meter, and we finalized the installation process. The customer was now ready to enjoy the unlimited hot water provided by the Navien tankless water heater, ensuring they could fill their walk-in tub anytime without worrying about running out of hot water.

Thanks to Sterling Craft Plumbing & Bath’s professional service, the customer now enjoys unlimited hot water from their new Navien tankless water heater.
