I am building a house and purchased a Rinnai 2532W LP outdoor tankless water heater. Can I install this model in my garage without venting it? What is the danger if I don't vent it? I don't live in the garage after all?
I also have a set of White Mountain Hearth ventless gas logs. I suppose those need to be vented as well?!
It's a pain in the butt, but you really should vent it properly for various reasons.
Odorless noxious and deadly fumes built up in the garage, and if the unit is not operating with proper combustion, then the fumes could build up and cause an explosion.
Also the unit may not operate properly without the vent.
The newer models have a sensor in them that detects fumes building up and will shut down the unit if the fumes are detected.
I'm not exactly familiar with the model you have, but most models these days have a combination vent and air intake- in other words, the pipe that vents it to the exterior also has a fresh air intake on the inside of the exhaust pipe.
