GAS WATER HEATER SIZING GUIDE
Use the following information as a guide to approximate the correct size water heater for the residence:
30 gallon size (21 gallon draw) for one bath residence.
• 
40 gallon size (28 gallon draw) for two bath residence -or one bath with an automatic clothes washer.
• 
50 gallon size (35 gallon draw) for three bath residence - or two baths with an automatic clothes washer.
• 
When a whirlpool tub is part of the home equipment, it is suggested that the water heater storage tank 
• 
capacity be selected based on the needs of the whirlpool tub. This method of tank sizing, will in most cases, 
cancel all statements above concerning tank sizing.
High fl ow or multiple shower head installations must be sized for at least a 20 minute draw.

*A thermostatic mixing valve set for a maximum temperature of 120° F is recommended to be installed to prevent a scalding 
hazard.
**Based on tub water temperature of 105º
Note: Because the desired fi ll time is normally 10 minutes, recovery capacity is not used for this calculation.  All water used 
is supplied by storage.
NOTE: The draw effi ciency of a gas or electric water heater storage tank is considered to be 70%.

A.   Water at the draft hood is water vapor which has 
condensed out of the combustion products. This is 
caused by a problem in the vent. 
B.   *Condensation may be seen on pipes in humid 
weather or pipe connections may be leaking.
C.   *The anode rod fi tting may be leaking.
D.   Small amounts of water from temperature-pressure 
relief valve may be due to thermal expansion or 
high water pressure in your area.
E.   *The temperature-pressure relief valve may be 
leaking at the tank fi tting.
F.   Water from a drain valve may be due to the valve 
being slightly opened.
G.   *The drain valve may be leaking at the tank fi tting.
H.   Combustion products contain water vapor which 
can condense on the cooler surfaces of the tank. 
Droplets form and drip onto the burner or run on 
the fl oor. This is common at the time of start-up 
after installation and when incoming water is cold.
I.   Water in the water heater bottom or on the fl oor 
may be from condensation, loose connections, or 
the relief valve. DO NOT replace the water heater 
until a full inspection of all possible water sources 
is made and necessary corrective steps taken.
Leakage from other appliances, water lines, or ground 
seepage should also be checked.
*   To check where threaded portion enters tank, 
insert cotton swab between jacket opening and 
fi tting. If cotton is wet, follow draining instructions 
in the “Draining the Water Heater” section and then 
remove fi tting. Put pipe dope or Tefl on
®
 tape on the 
threads and replace. When you are fi nished, follow 
the steps in “Filling the Water Heater” section.
