AMERICAN TK-110U-E 2**
0.81 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade G: where this UEF sits among the 80 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
A gas tankless unit, medium draw pattern (a typical three- or four-person household, about 55 gallons on a busy morning).
If you are verifying this unit's figures: the AMERICAN TK-110U-E 2**, a gas tankless heater, uses 137 therms of natural gas a year at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 2 therms above the class median of 135 therms, ranking 52nd lowest of 80.
Energy use per year
137 therms a year
Computed by this site from the registry's UEF and the federal test's daily hot-water draw for this draw pattern. What it costs depends on the natural gas rate where you live.
That is above the median of 135 therms for the 80 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 52 of 80, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (137 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

The registry lists this model with a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.81. This site computed the annual figure of 137 therms from that UEF and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the medium draw pattern. The registry itself does not publish an annual energy figure. The data comes from the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The comparison group is the 80 models registered as a gas tankless unit at the medium draw pattern. This model ranks 52nd lowest in energy use within that group. Its use is 2 therms above the class median of 135 therms, so it sits above the middle of its class for energy use.
The 137 therms applies only to the medium draw pattern, which the data describes as a typical household on a busy morning. It suits a check for households whose use matches that pattern. It does not describe a household with much more or much less hot-water use, and this page does not estimate that case. The registered maximum flow rate in gallons per minute is 3.5. That value is a flow limit, not an energy measure, and the data here does not state the temperature rise at which it applies. To compare against units of the same class, use the selector by fuel, space and size or find a same-class replacement by model number.
The running cost is not written in this text because it depends on your state's average residential gas price. The cost calculator on your own ZIP applies that price to the 137 therms shown here. How the annual cost is calculated is documented separately. Any cost result carries the same condition as the energy figure: the medium draw pattern and the federal test's daily draw. The figure is a calculation from registry data, not a measurement of an installed unit, so a gas meter reading in a home may differ from it. The modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote, and is not restated here.
