6-­‐   SIZING   GUIDE   

Please   use   the   chart   below   to   see   how   many   gallons   per   minute   your   tankless   water   heater   can   produce   with   
your   incoming   water   temperature.   The   gallons   per   minute   is   calculated   assuming   105°F   outlet   temperature.

FLOW   REGULATOR   –   OPTIONAL   

To   ensure   the   optimal   temperature   output   and   overall   performance   of   your   tankless   water   heater   you   may   
require   a   flow   regulator.   These   flow   regulators   are   installed   on   the   outlet   connection   of   your   tankless   water   
heater   and   limit   the   maximum   volume   coming   out   of   your   unit   to   a   specified   flow   rate   to   prevent   the   exit   
temperature   from   becoming   too   cool.   To   learn   more   about   flow   regulators   or   find   out   how   to   purchase   one   for   
your   tankless   water   heater   visit   us   online   at   Eemax.com   or   contact   us   at   1-­‐800-­‐543-­‐6163.   

Steps   for   Choosing   a   Flow   Regulator   

1.

  

Find   your   model   in   the   chart   on   the   left   

2.

  

Choose   the   column   with   the   inlet   water   temperature   closest   to   your   geographical   location   

3.

  

Take   the   GPM   or   gallons   per   minute   you   find   and   match   it   with   the   corresponding   flow   regulator   on   the   
right
