Product Overview
The RE160iN is a 160,000 BTU/h indoor natural-gas tankless heater with non-condensing operation. Choose it when its performance curve meets the home’s required flow at the local incoming-water temperature. Its published 6.6 GPM maximum is a favorable-condition limit, so it should not be treated as a guaranteed number of simultaneous showers.

Compatibility & Installation Notes
Have a qualified installer confirm the listed fuel type, gas capacity, approved concentric venting, combustion air and electrical supply. Install the BF.HG-34 on the cold-water inlet only. Its limits are 30-75 PSI, 40-100°F water temperature and 9.5 GPM maximum flow. The filter must be included in system flow and pressure-drop calculations; the heater’s maximum GPM is not a guaranteed assembled-bundle flow rate. Keep hot water and thermal expansion from entering the filter. The filter does not replace water softening when required, water-quality treatment, heater flushing or manufacturer maintenance.
For the included filter assembly, see the BF.HG-34 product listing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What comes with this special bundle?
One Rinnai RE160iN tankless water heater and one Big Frog Supply BF.HG-34 water-heater pre-sediment filter unit. The filter is included at no additional charge while supplies last.
Which fuel does this heater use?
The RE160iN is listed for natural gas. Match the appliance rating plate and installation requirements to the site’s fuel supply.
Can I install this heater outdoors?
No. The RE160iN is an indoor heater requiring the manufacturer-approved venting arrangement.
Does the free filter replace regular heater maintenance?
No. The BF.HG-34 filters sediment and uses polyphosphate for scale control, but it does not replace heater flushing or the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule. Replace its cartridge as needed for water conditions and usage, no later than one year. Its maximum flow is 9.5 GPM and maximum working pressure is 75 PSI.
Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?
The RE160iN pairs a 160,000 BTU/h input with an indoor natural-gas configuration and 0.81 UEF. It is a straightforward choice when the calculated load fits a 6.6 GPM maximum heater, and the free BF.HG-34 adds serviceable sediment filtration at the cold inlet.
