*This diagram illustrates tankless water heater design concepts only and does not accurately represent the water heater’s physical description.

1.A hot water tap is turned on.

2.Water enters the heater.

3.The water flow sensor detects the water flow.

4.The computer initiates the fan motor and sends a signal to the igniter to create an ignition spark.

5.The gas ignites and flames appear within the burner chamber.

6.Water circulates through the heat exchanger and then gets hot.

7.Using thermistors to measure temperatures throughout the water heater, the computer modulates the gas and water valves to ensure proper output water temperature.

8.When the tap is turned off, the unit shuts down.

INSTALLATION

GENERAL

1.Follow all local codes, or in the absence of local codes, follow the most recent edition of the National Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the USA or CAN/CSA B149.1 Natural Gas Installation Code in Canada.

2.Allgaswaterheatersrequirecarefulandcorrectinstallationtoensuresafeandefficientoperation.This manual must be followed exactly. Read the “Safety Guidelines” section.

3.The manifold gas pressure is preset at the factory. It is computer controlled and should not need adjustment.

4.Maintain proper space for servicing. Install the unit so that it can be connected or removed easily. Refer to the "Clearances" section on p. 9 for proper clearances.

5.The water heater must be installed in a location where the proper amount of combustible air will be available to it at all times without obstructions.

6.The electrical connection requires a means of disconnection, to terminate power to the water heater for servicing and safety purposes.

7.Do not install the unit where the exhaust vent is pointing into any opening in a building or where the noise may disturb your neighbors. Make sure the vent termination meets the required distance by local code from any doorway or opening to prevent exhaust from entering a building (refer to p. 14).

8.Particles from flour, aerosols, and other contaminants may clog the air vent or reduce the functions of the rotating fan and cause improper burning of the gas. Regularly ensure that the area around the unit is dustor debris-free; regular maintenance is recommended for these types of environment.

9.If you will be installing the water heater in a contaminated area with a high level of dust, sand, flour, aerosols or other contaminants/chemicals, they can become airborne and enter and build up within the fan and burner causing damage to the water heater.

10.For the 110U Indoor (T-KJr2U-IN), 310U Indoor (T-K4U-IN) and 510U Indoor (T-D2U-IN) models:

These units may be converted to a direct-vent (sealed combustion) appliance by installing a direct-vent conversion kit Part No. 9007667005 (TK-TV10) which will bring in all required

combustible air from outside the building. When installing the direct-vent conversion kit, please follow all instructions included with the kit.

If the water heater is used as a direct-vent appliance, the unit requires a 3 in. (76 mm) combustible air supply pipe. The intake pipe must be sealed airtight. Air supply pipe can be made of ABS, PVC, galvanized steel, corrugated aluminum, corrugated stainless steel or Category III stainless steel.

Terminating the venting through a sidewall is recommended for the direct-vent system.

Running the exhaust vent and the intake pipe parallel is recommended.

Terminating the exhaust and intake on the same wall/surface is recommended. Terminating in the same pressure zone allows for pressure balancing, which prevents nuisance shutdowns.

11.Forthe110UOutdoor(T-KJr2U-OS),310UOutdoor(T-K4U-OS)and510UOutdoor(T-D2U-OS)models:

To be installed outdoors and only in areas with mild, temperate climates.

WARNING

CAUTION

Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer (for example, a licensed plumber or gas fitter), otherwise the warranty will be

void.

The installer (licensed professional) is responsible for the correct installation of the water heater and for compliance with all national, state/provincial, and local codes.

The manufacturer does not recommend installing the water heater in a pit or location where gas and water can accumulate.

Do not have the vent terminal pointing toward any operating window, door, or opening into a building.

Do not install next to any source of airborne debris, such as a clothes dryer, that can cause debris to be trapped inside the combustion chamber,unless the system is direct-vented.

The manufacturer does not recommend installing the water heater in an attic due to safety issues. If you install the water heater in an attic:

Make sure the unit will have enough combustion air and proper ventilation.

Keep the area around the water heater clean. When dust collects on the flame sensor, the water heater will shut down on an error code.

If the above conditions cannot be met, use the direct vent conversion kit Part No. 9007667005 (TK-TV10).

Place the unit for easy access for service and maintenance.

A drain pan, or other means of protection against water damage, is required to be installed under the water heater in case of leaks.

The warranty will not cover damage caused by water quality.

Only potable water or potable water / glycol mixtures can be used with this water heater. Do not introduce pool or spa water, or any chemically treated water into the water heater.

Water hardness levels must not exceed 7 grains per gallon (120 ppm) for single family domestic applications or more than 4 grains per gallon (70 ppm) for all other types of applications. Water hardness leads to scale formation and may affect / damage the water heater. Hard water scaling must be avoided or controlled by proper water treatment.

Water pH levels must be between 6.5 and 8.5

Well water must be treated.

Do not install the unit where water, debris, or flammable vapors may get into the flue terminal.

The manufacturer recommends using the direct vent kit when the water heater is installed in a beauty salon. Some chemicals used in a beauty salon may affect the flame sensor. Water heater may not work properly.

Although the water heater is designed to operate with minimal sound, the manufacturer does not recommend installing the unit on a wall adjacent to a bedroom, or a room that is intended for quiet study or meditation, etc.

Locate your heater close to a drain where water leakage will not do damage to surrounding areas. As with any water heating appliance, the potential for leakage at some time in the life of the product does exist. The manufacturer will not be responsible for any water damage that may occur. If you install a drainpanundertheunit,ensurethatitwillnotrestrictthecombustionairflow.

VENTING INSTRUCTIONS

For indoor models

-General-

• Improper venting of this appliance can result in excessive levels of carbon monoxide which can result in severe personal injury or death.

• Improper installation can cause nausea or asphyxiation, severe injury or death DANGER fromcarbonmonoxideandfluegasespoisoning.Improperinstallationwillvoid

product warranty.

 

 

When installing the vent system, all applicable national and local codes must be

 

 

followed. If you install thimbles, fire stops or other protective devices and they

 

CAUTION

penetrate any combustible or noncombustible construction, be sure to follow all

 

applicable national and local codes.

The water heater must be vented in accordance with the section “Venting of Equipment" of the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the United States and/or Section 7 of the CAN/CSA B149.1 Natural Gas Installation Code in Canada, as well as applicable local building codes.

The manufacturer recommends the “T-Vent” line manufactured by TAKAGI (Refer to “T-Vent” brochure for details). However, the following are also UL listed manufacturers: ProTech Systems Inc. (FasNSeal), Flex-L Inc., Z-Flex Inc. (Z-Vent III), Metal-Fab Inc., and Heat-Fab Inc. (Saf-T Vent).

General rules for venting water heaters are:

Place the water heater as close as possible to the vent terminator.

The vent collar of the water heater must be fastened directly to an unobstructed vent pipe.

Do not weld the vent pipe to the water heater’s vent collar.

Do not cut the vent collar of the unit.

The vent must be easily removable from the top of the water heater for normal service and inspection of the unit.

The water heater vent must not be connected to any other gas appliance or vent stack.

Avoid using an oversized vent pipe or using extremely long runs of the pipe.

For rooftop venting, a rain cap or other form of termination that prevents rain water from entering into the water heater must be installed.

Do not common vent or connect any vent from other appliances to the water heater vent.

General rules for vent terminations:

Avoid locating the water heater vent terminator near any air intake devices. These fans can pick up the exhaust flue products from the water heater and return them to the building. This can create a health hazard.

Locate the vent terminator so that it cannot be blocked by any debris, at any time. Most codes require that the terminator must be at least 12 in. (305 mm) above grade, but the installer may determine if it should be higher depending on the job site condition and applicable codes.

A proper sidewall terminator is recommended when the water heater is vented through a sidewall.

Regarding the clearances from the exhaust terminator to the air inlet or opening, refer to the next few pages.

Installation

-Vent length and No. of Elbow-

This is a Category III appliance and must be vented accordingly. The vent system must be sealed air tight. All seams and joints without gaskets must be sealed with high heat resistant silicone sealant or UL listed aluminum adhesive tape having a minimum temperature rating of 350 °F (177 °C). For best results, a vent system should be as short and straight as possible.

This water heater is a Category III appliance and must be vented accordingly with any 4 in. (102 mm) vent approved for use with Category III or Special BH type gas vent.

Follow the vent pipe manufacturer’s instructions when installing the vent pipe.

Do not common vent this appliance with any other vented appliance (Do not terminate vent into a chimney. If the vent must go through the chimney, the vent must run all the way through the chimney with Category III approved or Special BH vent pipe).

When the horizontal vent run exceeds 5 ft. (1.5 m), support the vent run at 3 ft. (0.9 m) intervals with overhead hangers.

The maximum length of exhaust vent piping must not exceed 50 ft. (15.2 m) (deducting 5 ft. (1.5m) for each elbow used in the venting system). Do not use more than 5 elbows.
