This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

About Product Overview

This Reliance 50-gallon propane water heater is built for households that run through hot water fast - multiple bathrooms, a big kitchen, or a family that showers back to back. The 50,000 BTU burner recovers quickly, so you're not waiting around between loads of laundry and dishes. It's Energy Star certified with a low NOx burner, which means lower operating costs and cleaner combustion without sacrificing output.

Flexible venting (2, 3, or 4-inch diameter) makes it easier to fit into different installation setups, and the rated 10,100-foot maximum elevation means it performs reliably even at altitude. A temperature and pressure relief valve is included for safety, and top-mounted water connections simplify hookup. Backed by a 6-year warranty and made in the USA, this is a straightforward residential replacement or new-install unit for homes running on propane.

  • 50-gallon tank capacity, 50,000 BTU input

  • Flexible venting: 2, 3, or 4-inch diameter

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

Ask our counter. Or theirs.

Most hardware stores can do more than you think. If we can't help you, the folks down the street probably can — just ask at the counter.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a familiar banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
