U.S. CRAFTMASTER GCR-40 410
0.64 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 verifying the U.S. CRAFTMASTER GCR-40 410, this gas tank uses 264 therms of natural gas a year. That figure applies at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It sits 4 therms above the 260 therms median of the 414 gas tank models at that draw pattern.
Energy use per year
264 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 above the median of 260 therms for the 414 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 236 of 414, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (264 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

The registry does not publish the 264 therms figure. This site calculated it from two inputs. The first is the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used. The second is the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. This model's UEF is 0.64. The source is the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. Among the 414 gas tank models at the high draw pattern, this model ranks 236th for lowest energy use. The steps behind the annual figure are explained in how this site calculates the annual energy and cost figures.
The high draw pattern represents a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. For that pattern, this tank's first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 80 gallons. Its rated volume is 38 gallons. A household that uses more or less hot water than the DOE test will not use 264 therms a year. This data cannot tell you that household's actual use. This page has no figure for other draw patterns either. To check this unit against models in the same class, use the same-class replacement finder by model number.
This text does not state a running cost. The cost depends on your state's average residential gas price, so the page calculates it from your ZIP. That also applies to the 4 therms a year this model uses above its class median: what that difference costs depends on your rate. You can run both through the cost calculator for your own ZIP. The installed price range is shown in its own block, with its source and date. It is a modeled installed-cost range, not a quote. Neither figure changes the calculated energy use at the test's draw, which is 264 therms for the high draw pattern.
