I have just purchased a NORITZ tankless water heater.
The unit is installed on the inside side of the exterior wall near the garage door entrance. The Gas meter is about 5 feet away from there and has a T connector on top where the 3/4 and 1 1/2 line to the rest of the house is connected. There is a 1/2 line off the main 1 1/2 feed going across the house in the ceiling that was run down the inside wall to feed the old water heater..
To use the existing 1/2 line for the tankless the length would be about 12-15 feet of 1/2 pipe. Big resistance to gas delivery I think. I want to use the T off the top of the meter and run a 3/4 inch supply to the NORITZ to satisfy gas delivery requirements and run would be 5-6 feet total of 3/4.
Is it ok to use the T connector from the meter by removing the plug? Looks like an easy run and wil be a total of about 5 feet from source to the water heater.
