RHEEM/RUUD PRO+G50-47P RH62 PDV
0.65 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade G: 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 checking the RHEEM/RUUD PRO+G50-47P RH62 PDV gas tank water heater, it uses 260 therms of natural gas a year. That figure applies to the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It sits 0 therms from its class median of 260 therms, equal to the median.
Energy use per year
260 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 equal to the median of 260 therms for the 414 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 204 of 414, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (260 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

The 260 therms figure is computed by this site, not by the registry. It combines the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. This model's UEF is 0.65, from the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The comparison class is the 414 models registered as a gas tank at the high draw pattern. Within that class, this model ranks 204th lowest energy use of 414. That places it in the second-lowest quarter of its class for energy use. Real use will differ if a household draws more or less hot water than the federal test assumes. The steps behind the figure are set out in how the annual cost is calculated.
The high draw pattern stands for a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. This unit has a rated volume of 48 gallons. Its first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 81 gallons. A household with that kind of daily demand matches the conditions behind the 260 therms figure. A smaller household drawing less hot water each day falls outside the conditions of the high draw pattern. For that household, the 260 therms figure would not describe its use, and no figure for a lower draw is available here. Units of other fuels and sizes can be compared in the selector by fuel, space and size. Other models in the same class can be found with the same-class replacement search by model number.
The running cost is not stated in this text. It depends on your state's average residential gas price. The page computes it from your ZIP, applying that price to the 260 therms of natural gas at the high draw pattern. Because this model sits at the class median of 260 therms, its running cost on a given rate would equal that of a median model in its class. A modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block, with its source and date; it is not a quote. What your household actually pays also depends on its real hot-water use, which is not known here. To see the figure for your rate, open the cost calculator for your own ZIP.
