RHEEM/RUUD PRO+G50-65N 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+G50-65N RH62 PDV against the registry, this gas tank uses 260 therms of natural gas a year. That figure belongs to the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It equals the median of 260 therms across the 414 gas tank models registered at that draw pattern.
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 taken from the registry. It uses the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. For this model the UEF is 0.65, from DOE CCD data retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure holds at the test's draw only. A household that uses more or less hot water will use a different amount of gas. Within its class, the model ranks 204th lowest energy use of 414. That places it in the second-lowest quarter for energy use. Its difference from the class median is 0 therms. The steps behind the figure are set out in how the annual cost is calculated.
The high draw pattern describes 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 111 gallons. Its rated volume is 48 gallons. Compare the first hour rating with the household's peak hot-water use, not with its daily total. A household that uses less than the high draw pattern falls outside the test condition. For that household, the 260 therms figure does not describe its actual use. The registry data on this page gives no energy figure for this model at other draw patterns, so that value is not available here. To compare units by other fuels or sizes, use the water heater selector by fuel, space and size.
This page does not state a running cost in the text. The cost of 260 therms of natural gas depends on your state's average residential gas price. The page computes that cost from your ZIP, and no estimate replaces it here. You can run it on your own rate with the cost calculator for your ZIP. This model differs from its class median by 0 therms. At the test draw and the same gas price, a gas tank at the class median would therefore cost the same to run. To check other models in this class, use the same-class replacement search by model number. The installed price range appears in its own block, with its source and date. That range is modeled and is not a quote.
