The 269 therms figure is not a measured bill. This site computed it, not the registry, from the registry's UEF and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, is 0.63 for this model. The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. The figure applies to natural gas and to that draw only. Real use in a home depends on the household's actual hot-water demand. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19.

The comparison class is the 414 models registered as a gas tank at the high draw pattern. In that class this model ranks 320th lowest in energy use. That puts it in the highest quarter of the class for energy use, 9 therms above the median of 260 therms. Its first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 77 gallons. The rated volume is 50 gallons. These figures fit a household that matches the high draw pattern. They fit less well a reader who wants the lowest energy use, because most models in the class list less than 269 therms. To compare, you can find a same-class replacement by model number or use the selector by fuel, space and size.

The running cost is not written here, because it depends on your state's average residential gas price. The cost calculator on your own ZIP applies that price to 269 therms. The method behind the annual cost is described on its own page. The result holds only for the high draw pattern at the federal test's daily draw. A household that draws less hot water will differ from 269 therms, and this page does not say by how much. The modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block, with its source and date. It is a range, not a quote.
