Supply only skips the installation checker. Supply + install opens the installation questions so the right add-ons can be selected.
Are you replacing an existing hot water system?
This helps us work out whether this looks like a standard replacement or may need extra parts.
Are you replacing the same hot water system, identical make and model?
If yes, the valve kit will be recommended. If not, it will be required at the end.
Is it going in an existing location?
Existing location means the new system is going back into the same general installed position.
Where is the system located?
If it is outside, continue. If it is inside or under a house, the 2 Minute Compatibility Check must be completed first.
Are you changing system type, electrical connection type or needing to extend your electrical connection?
If yes, we will advise at the end that an electrical extension or new circuit may be needed, or you can organise your own electrician.
Do any site access issues apply?
If any access issue applies, direct them to the 2 Minute Compatibility Check first. If none apply, continue with the form.
Does your current installation meet current compliance requirements?
If no or unsure, we will recommend a valve kit or additional works as the safer starting point.

      Rheem 26L Natural Gas Continuous Flow Hot Water System 50°C

      The Rheem 26L Natural Gas Continuous Flow Hot Water System 50°C is available from Installed Today as a supply-only natural gas hot water unit or as a complete supply and install package in selected Brisbane and Gold Coast service areas.

      Choose the unit only if you already have a licensed gas fitter arranged, or check your supply and install package to confirm natural gas suitability, water pressure, valve kit requirements, outdoor installation location, power suitability, access and available installation timeframes before checkout.

      The Rheem 26L Natural Gas 50°C continuous flow water heater is a higher-capacity gas hot water system designed for medium to larger homes, apartments, townhouses and replacement jobs where a storage tank is not ideal. With 26 L/min continuous hot water delivery at a 25°C rise, a 6-star energy rating, 50°C factory temperature-limited output and compact wall-mounted design, it is a strong option for customers wanting reliable natural gas hot water for around 2 to 2.5 bathrooms where site conditions are suitable.

      About the Rheem 26L Natural Gas Continuous Flow Water Heater

      The Rheem 26L Natural Gas Continuous Flow Water Heater is part of Rheem’s gas continuous flow hot water range. It heats water only when hot water is needed, rather than storing a full tank of heated water.

      This makes it a practical option for homes where outdoor space is limited, where a wall-mounted gas unit is preferred, or where the existing setup already suits an outdoor natural gas continuous flow hot water replacement.

      The 26L model provides more flow capacity than the Rheem 16L and 20L models, making it better suited to homes with higher hot water demand. It is commonly selected for medium to larger households, larger apartments, townhouses and family homes where multiple outlets may be used more often.

      This is the natural gas version. Natural gas and LPG models are not interchangeable, so the correct gas type must be selected before ordering or installation.

      Buy Rheem 26L Natural Gas Supply Only

      Order the Rheem 26L Natural Gas Continuous Flow Water Heater online as a supply-only hot water system. This option is ideal if you already have a licensed gas fitter or plumber arranged and only need the unit supplied.

      The supply-only product price is for the hot water system itself. Installation, old system removal, disposal, valve kits, gas fitting work, electrical work, plumbing alterations, compliance upgrades and additional site requirements are not included unless selected separately as add-ons.

      Supply-only is best for customers searching for:

      Higher Flow Continuous Hot Water

      The Rheem 26L Natural Gas continuous flow water heater is designed for homes needing stronger flow capacity than smaller continuous flow models.

      With 26 L/min hot water delivery at a 25°C rise, this model can suit medium to larger households where multiple fixtures may be used more often. Actual performance depends on incoming water temperature, gas supply, water pressure, pipe sizing, fixture flow rates and household demand.

      Compact Outdoor Design

      The Rheem 26L Natural Gas is designed to save space compared with a traditional gas storage hot water system.

      Because it heats water on demand, it does not require a large storage cylinder. The compact body can be mounted outdoors on a suitable wall, making it useful for homes with limited outdoor space, narrow side access, townhouses, units and medium to larger replacement locations.

      50°C Temperature-Limited Output

      This model is the 50°C factory temperature-limited version. A 50°C model can be a practical option for domestic hot water installations where safer outlet temperature control is important.

      Some applications may still require additional tempering or installation controls depending on the property, plumbing layout, fixtures and compliance requirements. Suitability should be confirmed before installation.

      Natural Gas Hot Water

      This product is the natural gas version of the Rheem 26L continuous flow water heater.

      It is intended for homes connected to natural gas. It is not the same as the LPG version, and the two gas types cannot be swapped without selecting the correct product and completing suitable licensed gas work.

      Customers should confirm their gas type before ordering.

      Rheem Q Factor™ and Flamesafe® Protection

      The Rheem 26L Natural Gas includes Rheem Q Factor™ technology, designed to help deliver steady hot water temperature and reduce the fluctuations that can occur with some continuous flow systems when hot water demand changes.

      It also includes Flamesafe® overheat protection, which is designed to shut down the water heater before overheating can occur.

      Common Uses

      The Rheem 26L Natural Gas 50°C Continuous Flow Hot Water System can be suitable for:

      • Natural gas hot water replacement

      • Outdoor continuous flow hot water applications

      • Homes connected to natural gas

      • Medium to larger apartments

      • Townhouses

      • Family homes

      • Rental properties

      • Compact wall-mounted replacement locations

      • Homes with around 2 to 2.5 bathrooms, depending on demand

      • Supply-only orders where a licensed gas fitter is already arranged

      • Supply and install orders in selected Brisbane and Gold Coast areas
