JETGLAS RG2PDV40S*N
0.7 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade E: where this UEF sits among the 414 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
A gas tank, high draw pattern (a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap).
If you are verifying this water heater's energy use: JETGLAS RG2PDV40S*N uses 242 therms of natural gas a year at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 18 therms below the class median of 260 therms among 414 gas tank models.
Energy use per year
242 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 below the median of 260 therms for the 414 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 90 of 414, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (242 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

The figure of 242 therms is computed by this site, not by the registry. It combines the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.7 with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. The source is the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The value applies to natural gas at that test draw only. Against the class, this model ranks 90th lowest in energy use among 414 models, which places it in the lowest quarter of its class. Its difference from the median is 18 therms below 260 therms.
The registry lists a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 75 gallons, and a rated volume of 38 gallons. The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. For that kind of household, the first hour rating is the figure to compare with your busiest hour. Whether your busiest hour stays within 75 gallons is not available in this data; it depends on your fixtures and habits. A household that draws less or more than the test draw will use a different amount than 242 therms. To narrow options by fuel, space and size, use the water heater selector.
The running cost is not stated in this text because it depends on your state's average residential gas price. The cost calculator applies that price to 242 therms once you enter your ZIP. The methodology explains how the annual cost is calculated. The figure of 242 therms covers natural gas at the high draw pattern only, so it does not carry over to another fuel. The modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block on this page, with its source and date; it is a modeled range, not a quote. To look for a same-class unit, you can find a replacement by model number starting from RG2PDV40S*N.
