help Rheem Professional Classic FAQ
Is Rheem Professional Classic a storage-tank heater or a tankless heater?
Professional Classic is a Rheem product family, not one single tank design. For example, PROE47 S2 RH95 is a standard electric storage model, while RTEX-13 is a Professional Classic tankless model, so the model number matters.

Does a Rheem Professional Classic need a gas flue?
An electric Professional Classic tank does not burn gas, so it does not need a combustion flue; gas Professional Classic models do require approved venting. Check the label for fuel type before ordering because the same family name covers different configurations.

What warranty does a Rheem Professional Classic water heater have?
Warranty length depends on the exact model: Rheem's PROE47 S2 RH95 page lists 6 years for the tank and parts, with a ProtectionPlus option that can extend the tank warranty to 10 years. Treat that as a model example, not a promise for every Professional Classic unit.
