Richmond PRO+G50-38U RH67 PD*
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).
If you are checking the Richmond PRO+G50-38U RH67 PD*, this gas tank water heater uses 249 therms of natural gas a year. That figure belongs to the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It sits 11 therms below the 260 therms median of the 414 gas tank models registered at that draw 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 registry does not list the 249 therms figure. This site calculated it from two inputs. The first is the model's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is listed as 0.68. The second is the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. The source is DOE's Compliance Certification Database (CCD), retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure applies only at that test draw. A household that uses more or less hot water will use a different amount of gas. Within its class, the model ranks 164th for lowest energy use out of 414. The calculation steps are explained in how the annual energy and cost are calculated.
The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. This model's rated volume is 48 gallons. Its first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 86 gallons. A plumber or seller checking a quote can compare these two values with the label on the unit. A household that needs more than 86 gallons in its busiest hour goes beyond what this rating covers. For a household with lighter hot-water use, the 249 therms test figure will not match its actual gas use. To compare other sizes or fuels, use the water heater selector by fuel, space and size.
The text does not state a running cost for this model. The cost depends on your state's average residential gas price, so the page calculates it from your ZIP code. At 249 therms a year, the cost rises and falls with that price, and this page does not estimate it. Enter your ZIP in the cost calculator for your own ZIP to see the result. The installed price range on this page has its own block with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote. If you are matching a replacement for the PRO+G50-38U RH67 PD*, you can find a same-class replacement by model number among models registered as a gas tank at the high draw pattern.
