JETGLAS RG2PV50H*N**
0.68 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade F: 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).
For anyone checking this rating: the JETGLAS RG2PV50H*N** gas tank is tested at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. At that draw, it uses 249 therms of natural gas a year. That is 11 therms below the 260 therms median of the 414 gas tank models registered at the same pattern.
Energy use per year
249 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 164 of 414, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (249 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

The 249 therms figure is computed by this site, not taken from the registry. It combines the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, with the daily hot-water draw in the DOE test for the high pattern. This model's UEF is 0.68. The figure applies only at that test draw. A household that uses more or less hot water will use a different amount of gas, and this page does not know that amount. Among the 414 gas tank models at the high draw pattern, this unit ranks 164th for lowest energy use. That puts it in the second-lowest quarter of its class for energy use. The source is the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The page on how the annual figures are calculated sets out each step.
The high draw pattern stands for a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. This model's first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 116 gallons. Its rated volume is 46 gallons. A plumber or seller checking this unit for such a household can compare those two figures with the home's peak demand. A household with lighter daily use falls outside the test condition, so the 249 therms figure would not describe its gas use. This page has no energy figure for this model at any other draw pattern. To compare it with other units in the same class, use the tool to find a same-class replacement by model number.
Running cost is not stated in this text. It depends on the average residential gas price in the reader's state, so the page computes it from the reader's ZIP. The input to that calculation is this model's 249 therms a year at the high draw pattern. The cost difference from a unit at the 260 therms class median also depends on that local price, even though the gas gap stays at 11 therms. The text gives no running cost figure for any state. The installed-cost range shown in its own block on this page is a modeled range, not a quote, with its own source and date.
