I am in the process of installing a Rheem RGT53PV(p) and it calls for a propane supply of 141,000 BTU with 10"wc min and 14"wc max.

> It might be possible to build a tankless water heater using natural gas under pressure, that was actuated mechanically This is exactly how all demand heaters worked up from when they were invented, maybe seventy years ago, until about five years ago. The units do indeed have a pilot light, and the main burner is triggered by the flow of water. You turn on the hot water tap, the gas
