Rheem, PROG50S-36N-RH67-PV

Rheem Professional Classic 50-Gallon Power Vent Water Heater – 36,000 BTU, Natural Gas

The Rheem PROG50S-36N-RH67-PV is a 50-gallon natural gas water heater from the Professional Classic Series, equipped with an integrated power venting system. With a burner input of 36,000 BTU/hr and a recovery rate of 36.4 gallons per hour at a 90°F temperature rise, it is suitable for mid-size residential hot water loads.

This unit is engineered for efficiency, serviceability, and installation flexibility. The power vent design accommodates extended vent lengths—up to 100 equivalent feet using 2″ or 3″ PVC, CPVC, or ABS pipe—making it suitable for installations without access to a vertical flue.

Installation Considerations

Intake and exhaust terminations must meet clearances and elevation requirements outlined in the installation manual. Proper condensate management and gas line sizing should be confirmed during site evaluation.

Contractor Insights
