STATE GPVX-50L 2**

0.73 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
E

Grade E: 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).

The STATE GPVX-50L 2**, a gas tank water heater, uses 232 therms of natural gas a year at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. If you are checking that figure, it sits 28 therms below the 260 therms median of the 414 gas tank models at that draw pattern.


Energy use per year

232 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 33 of 414, lowest energy first.

This model: 232 therms

Solid line: this model (232 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

What these figures mean

The 232 therms figure is not printed in the registry. This site calculated it from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used. The other input is the daily hot-water draw that the DOE test sets for the high draw pattern. This model's UEF is 0.73, from the DOE CCD, retrieved on 2026-09-19. Compared with the other gas tank models at the high draw pattern, it has the 33rd lowest energy use of 414. That places it in the lowest quarter of its class for energy use. The method is on the page explaining how the annual cost is calculated. The figure holds only at the test's daily draw. Energy use at your own daily draw is not available here.

The high draw pattern represents a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. The 232 therms figure describes that level of use. The registry lists a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 119 gallons. The rated volume is 50 gallons. A home whose daily use matches the high draw pattern can check its needs against those figures. A home that uses less hot water should not expect the 232 therms figure to apply. The registry data on this page gives no energy figure for other draw patterns. To compare models by fuel, space and size, use the water heater selector. To stay within this model's class, find a same-class replacement by model number.

This text does not state a running cost. The cost of 232 therms a year depends on your state's average residential gas price. The page calculates that cost from your ZIP instead of estimating one figure for every reader. Enter your ZIP in the cost calculator for your own ZIP to see the result at your rate. The same applies to the 28 therms gap below the 260 therms class median. What that gap is worth depends on your gas price, so no value for it is given here. The installed price range appears in a separate block on this page, with its source and date. It is a modeled installed-cost range, not a quote, and this text does not repeat its figures.
