Ruud PRO+G50-47P RH62 PDV

The 260 therms figure is computed by this site, not taken from the registry. It combines the model'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, as listed in the DOE CCD retrieved on 2026-09-19. The result holds only at that test draw. A home that uses more or less hot water will use a different amount of gas. The steps behind the figure are set out in how the annual energy and cost are calculated. The registry does not report measured use in any real home, so actual consumption for a given household is not available here.

The high draw pattern stands for a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. This tank 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. Among the 414 gas tank models at the high draw pattern, it ranks 204th lowest in energy use. That places it in the second-lowest quarter of its class. A household whose busiest hour needs more than 81 gallons falls outside what this rating describes. Figures for this model at other draw patterns are not available here. To compare other tanks, use the water heater selector by fuel, space and size.

No running cost appears in this text. The cost of 260 therms a year depends on the reader's state average residential gas price. The page therefore computes it from the reader's ZIP in the running cost calculator for your own ZIP. That result carries the same condition as the energy figure above: it holds at the high draw pattern's test draw. The installed price range sits in its own block with its source and date. It is a modeled installed-cost range, not a quote. A plumber or seller checking a swap can find a same-class replacement by model number by entering PRO+G50-47P RH62 PDV. That search stays within gas tank models at the high draw pattern.
