The Adapt® Gas Tankless Family

Adapt®+ Premium Condensing

Adapt Premium Condensing Water Heaters

State’s Adapt®+ premium condensing gas tankless water heaters (160K, 180K, and 199K BTU/hr) deliver continuous, on-demand hot water, high efficiency, and flexible installation for residential applications.


Built to Perform 

Engineered for high-performance, high-demand applications and long-term durability, Adapt®+ features a patented heavy-duty helical heat exchanger that outperforms traditional tankless systems. 


The helical heat exchanger design has fewer weld points, creating a stronger, more durable water heater with fewer potential leak paths. With a UEF of up to 0.95, the Adapt®+ is not only ENERGY STAR® certified but also offers high thermal efficiency and corrosion resistance. The Adapt®+ has a high thermal efficiency, built-in corrosion resistance, and an integrated recirculation pump to ensure your home has fast, reliable hot water at all times. This means the Adapt®+ will require less maintenance over time, which means less money out of your pocket in the long run. 



To be more user-friendly, the Adapt®+ features a digital display for easily managing schedules, monitoring performance, and adjusting temperature. You can even activate your Adapt®+ tankless water heater remotely. 


Built to Last 

Adapt®+ is designed to reduce maintenance and extend product life by using State's proven X3® Scale Prevention Technology, which can extend your tankless water heater's life up to 3 times, requiring less maintenance and saving money. 



The State Adapt®+ tankless water heater will be available in an integrated X3® Scale Prevention Technology model and an M bypass model (X3® Scale Prevention filter attachment). 


Built to Adapt

Designed for fast, flexible installation across a wide range of applications. The Adapt®+ can easily be retrofitted or built into new construction with 2” and 3” PVC venting and is compatible with ½” or ¾” gas lines. The Adapt®+ is field-convertible and can be installed indoors or outdoors, and it includes a wall-mount bracket for faster installation.

How Adapt®+ Premium Condensing Works

Adapt Premium Tankless labeled cut out

When a hot water tap is opened, cold water flows through the X3® Scale Prevention Technology cartridge, which prevents minerals from bonding and forming scale. Particles pass harmlessly through the system, reducing the need for routine descaling and helping extend the water heater's life.


The treated water then passes through the helical heat exchanger, where it is rapidly heated. Because Adapt®+ operates only when hot water is needed, it reduces standby energy loss while delivering continuous hot water and space-saving performance.


Backed by one of the strongest warranties in the category, Adapt®+ includes a 15-year limited warranty, offering long-term confidence, lower maintenance costs, and consistent home comfort.

Still Have Questions?

A gas tankless water heater is more efficient than a conventional tank water heater, as it doesn't require energy to keep a reservoir of water heated around the clock. Water flows to a heat exchanger that immediately heats the water using hot exhaust gasses. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a tankless water heater is up to 34% more energy efficient than a tank water heater for homes using less than 41 gallons of water per day and up to 14% more efficient for homes using 86 gallons of water daily. It's also more compact than a tank water heater, saving space.

Tankless water heaters offer the option of venting through an exterior side wall instead of through a chimney flue on the roof. Water heaters that are direct venting have two vents — one that pulls in air from the outside and one that carries away exhaust. Power venting water heaters draw air from inside the room and have only a single vent for exhaust. While non-condensing tankless water heaters require thick metal venting to handle the temperature of heat that's released, condensing tankless water heaters can use plastic venting such as PVC. They have already used the hot vapors to heat more water, leaving only cooler fumes for ventilation.

State tankless water heaters boast industry-leading 15 year limited warranties. While the lifespan of a gas tankless water heater can vary, factors like water conditions, usage rates and maintenance all contribute to your water heater’s health. New condensing units come equipped with X3® Scale Reduction Technology that extends life up to three times longer.

Tankless water heaters have different flow rates measured in gallons per minute (GPM), which indicate the amount of water they can deliver at a time. Because these water heaters don't maintain a supply of hot water in a tank, you need to choose an appropriately sized tankless model based on household needs. The ideal output rate for your home depends on the number of people in the residence, the appliances you use, and the original temperature of the water being heated. Some people install more than one tankless water heater based on their requirements. Check out our water heater selector to help choose the best water heater for your needs.

  • What do I need?
  • Before installation, you will need to determine the incoming ground water temperature, the ideal location in your home, and the correct water heater size required for your needs.
  • Where to install?
  • A tankless water heater can be installed anywhere in your home with the correct piping—closets, garage, bathrooms, etc. In warmer climates where there is no risk of freezing, a tankless water heater may be installed on the exterior of the home to save on interior space.
