NPE-210A2 FAQs
Does the NPE-2 condensing tankless gas water heater have to be the first appliance off the gas meter?
No, it is not required that the NPE-2 condensing tankless gas water heater be the first appliance off the gas meter.
It can be installed using the existing infrastructure and can go in place of a traditional tank water heater so long as the gas line is sized appropriately and can deliver sufficient gas supply to the unit.
What type of venting can I use for the NPE-2 condensing tankless gas water heater?
The NPE-2 is approved to be vented with 2”vent material (maximum length of 75 feet, maximum of 6 elbows, and reduce 8 linear feet per 90° elbow). 3” vent material can also be used (maximum length of 150’, maximum of 8 elbows, and reduce 5 linear feet per 90° elbow).
Approved vent materials are PVC Schedule 40, CPVC Schedule 80, Approved Polypropylene, and stainless steel.
Can I use PVC with the NPE condensing tankless gas water heater?
Yes, with the NPE condensing tankless gas water heater you can use PVC Schedule 40, which allows for zero inch clearance to combustibles.
Does the NPE-2 condensing tankless gas water heater include a remote?
Yes, the NPE-2 has built in display and control allowing for simple and easy operation.
What is ComfortFlow technology?
ComfortFlow technology is a proprietary system that incorporates a buffer tank and recirculation pump.
The buffer tank will reduce “cold water sandwich” effects commonly found with tankless products and the recirculation pump will minimize the amount of time required for delivery of hot water to fixtures.
Can the NPE-2 be mounted outdoors?
Yes, the NPE-2 can be mounted outdoors using the Navien Outdoor Vent Kit.
It is recommended the unit only be mounted outdoors in mild climates.
Please follow proper instruction procedures outlines in installation manual.
Is the NPE-2 gas field convertible?
Yes, the NPE-2 is gas field convertible.
The default gas type for the unit will be Natural Gas (NG). To convert the unit for LP use, please use gas conversion kit supplied with unit.
This should only be performed by a qualified service agency in accordance with Navien America’s instructions.
Is there commercial model available for the NPE-2 series?
The NPE-2 is approved for use in residential, commercial, and heating (combination only) applications.
If used in commercial or heating application, the warranty will be adjusted to 8 years on the heat exchanger, 5 years on any other parts, and 1 year labor.

I am a homeowner and have a problem with my unit. If I call technical support, can they walk me through troubleshooting my unit?
Because our product involves water, electricity, and gas, there is only a limited amount of troubleshooting that can be done with a homeowner/end-user.
We recommend contacting your original installer or a Navien Service Specialist (NSS) to troubleshoot the unit.
NOTE: Charges will apply for service calls outside of 1 year labor period and/or non-warranty issues. Please see terms of our labor warranty.
Does Navien have Field Technicians available to service my unit?
Because our product involves water, electricity, and gas, there is only a limited amount of troubleshooting that can be done with a homeowner/end-user. We recommend contacting your original installer or a Navien Service Specialist (NSS) to troubleshoot the unit. NOTE: Charges will apply for service calls outside of 1 year labor period and/or non-warranty issues. Please see terms of our labor warranty.
I have no error codes on my remote, yet my unit will not produce hot water. What should I do?
The issue is most likely the flow sensor inside the unit is not spinning properly.
We recommend opening and closing the pressure relief valve (should be located near the outlet of the unit). Depending on amount of debris affecting the flow sensor, this may help temporary. We recommend contacted your original installer or an NSS to service the sensor.
I think there is a part that needs to replaced, how do I get a new part shipped out to me?
If you feel like there is an issue with your unit, please have someone contact Navien Technical Support while in front of the unit with your Serial Number ready. We recommend that a license contractor, original installer, or NSS contact is the person who calls us, so we may do in depth troubleshooting to determine if there is a part failure.
Navien Technical Support will be unable to send out parts without registration of product (Serial Number, Date of Installation, Homeowner Information, and Installer Information).
