STATE GDVNT-50L 1**

0.65 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
G

Grade 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).

Checking the STATE GDVNT-50L 1** gas tank water heater? It uses 260 therms of natural gas a year at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That equals its class median of 260 therms, a difference of 0 therms, ranking 204th lowest of 414 for energy use.


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.

This model: 260 therms

Solid line: this model (260 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

What these figures mean

This site calculated the 260 therms figure; the registry does not publish it. 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. For the GDVNT-50L 1**, the UEF is 0.65. The registry data come from DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure holds only at that test draw. A household that uses more or less hot water than the test assumes will use a different amount of gas. This page has no figure for that case. The full steps 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. The GDVNT-50L 1** has a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 84 gallons. Its rated volume is 48 gallons. It is compared with the 414 models registered as a gas tank at the high draw pattern. At 260 therms, it sits in the second-lowest quarter of that class for energy use. Its difference from the class median is 0 therms, so on this measure it is neither above nor below the median. A plumber checking a swap can find a same-class replacement by model number.

The running cost is not stated in this text. It depends on your state's average residential gas price, so the page computes it from your ZIP. At the same 260 therms, readers in different states can see different yearly costs. The installed price appears in its own block with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote. If your household does not match the high draw pattern, this page cannot say how much gas the GDVNT-50L 1** would use. That figure is not available here. To see the cost at your own rate, use the cost calculator for your ZIP. To compare other units, use the selector by fuel, space and size.
