TANKLESS ADVANTAGE
HOW IT WORKS – THE PROCESS:
• A hot water tap is opened.
• The opened tap allows water to flow
through the water heater. An internal
water flow sensor detects this flow.
• Upon flow detection, the flow sensor
sends the activation signal to the
computer board.
• The computer automatically ignites the
burner.
• As water flows through the heat
exchanger, it absorbs heat from the
burner.
• By the time the water exits the heater,
it has reached the designated set
temperature.
• When the hot water tap is closed, the
water heater automatically turns off.
ENDLESS
HOT WATER
Heating water only as it’s being used
means you will never run out of hot
water again. After the few seconds
it takes for the water to reach the
designated set temperature, our
water heaters will continually provide
a steady flow of hot water for as
long as your application needs it.
*Takagi tankless water heaters provide endless hot
water when sized appropriately for your home’s
needs.
ENERGY
CONSERVATION
Provides you with continuous hot water
in one of the most energy-efficient
ways possible. Conventional tank-type
water heaters will heat and store a set
volume of water, regardless of whether
someone is using that hot water or not.
Because our tankless water heaters
only activate when hot water is being
used, no standby energy losses are
incurred, providing efficient heating
while conserving energy.
COMPACT
SIZE
On top of all this, an Takagi tankless
water heater takes up much less space
than your conventional tank-type water
heater or boiler. Takagi’s wall-mount
design offers flexible installations
freeing up valuable storage space.

SAFETY
At Takagi, we place the safety and
reliability of our products above all else.
By incorporating technologically advanced
safety features into every model, we
provide the assurance and peace of mind
that can only come from an Takagi quality
product.
Air-Fuel Ratio (AFR)
Sensor
Takagi’s unique AFR sensor monitors and
maintains proper combustion at all times.
Together with the onboard computer, this
system will adjust the fan motor speed to
ensure that air and fuel have a proper
mixture ratio, minimizing emissions and
maximizing efficiency.
Additional Safety
Features
Freeze Protection:
Every heater in Takagi’s tankless lineup has
an internal freeze protection system, which
is rated to protect the heaters when installed
in sub-freezing conditions. This system
works to keep water temperatures within the
heat exchanger from falling below a certain
level, preventing freeze damage.
Hi-Limit Switch:
HEAT EXCHANGER
IGNITER
AFR
FLAME SENSOR
BURNER
Ensures that water temperatures do not exceed safe levels. Before the water temperature can even reach these unsafe levels,
the hi-limit switch activates by disengaging the gas valves, effectively shutting down the water heater.
PVC Venting:
Indoor condensing models have a thermistor and hi-limit switch that monitor the exhaust temperature. If the exhaust
temperature nears an unsafe limit, these features regulate combustion and can shut the heater down to protect the integrity of
the PVC vent material.
Overheat Cutoff Fuse:
Ensures that there are no breaches in the heat exchanger drum. In cases where enough physical damage might have been
done to the water heater to lead to a breach in the heat exchanger drum, the overheat cutoff fuse reacts by shutting down the
water heater if the surface of the heat exchanger retains too much heat.

HEAT EXCHANGER WITH COMMERCIAL-GRADE COPPER
Only Takagi incorporates true commercial-grade heat exchangers in our tankless heaters (D2, 510U/C, or 510U, 510C,
H3, 540P, CT-199 and M50 non-ASME models). All aspects of the heat exchanger are designed to add the durability and
reliability that is vital to any successful commercial organization or business.
Commercial-Grade Copper Alloy
Our commercial-grade copper is a heat-resistant copper alloy, with additive elements that make it much stronger and harder
than the standard C1220 copper used in most other heat exchangers. Our commercial-grade copper has 8 times the tensile
strength of regular copper. Even at high temperatures, our commercial-grade copper maintains a fine grain and high strength.
Commercial-grade copper provides resistance to the damaging effects of erosion that can cause heat exchangers to leak.
Commercial-Grade Copper Tubing
Drum Thickness
During every ignition cycle, thermal expansion causes all heat exchangers to undergo heat stress. After the thousands of ON/
OFF cycles typically seen in a commercial application, this heat stress can prove damaging. This is why the heat exchangers
in our commercial and light commercial products utilize drums that are 25% thicker, ensuring the longevity of our products. A
thicker drum creates less strain on the heat exchanger.

WATER VALVES
Making true commercial-grade water heaters involves more than just redesigning our heat exchangers—every internal component
has to measure up to Takagi’s commercial standards. Just like our advanced heat exchangers, the longevity and functionality of
components such as our water valves and flow sensors are also of great importance.
Our commercial-grade water heaters (D2, 510U/C, 510C, and T-H3), as well as our commercial water heaters (CT-199
and T-M50) feature a bypass and flow adjustment valve, which not only provide the optimal control and precision essential for
commercial usage, but also offer the durability needed to handle tough, high-volume conditions.
The secondary condensing heat exchanger is made of high-quality 316L stainless steel. This is where the rest of the heat
transfer occurs. Due to the lower temperature acidic condensation occurs, and stainless steel is required in order to avoid
corrosion.
For condensing heat exchangers, it is more suitable to use 316L stainless steel because of the extreme environment (heat,
acidic condensation, chloride) that the material is subjected to.

EXCHANGER:
COPPER VS.
STAINLESS STEEL
• Heat transfers 25 times more readily
through copper than stainless steel.
Consequently, for the same amount
of heat transfer, stainless steel heat
exchangers need to be larger than
copper heat exchangers, leading to a
larger pressure loss.
• At higher temperatures, it is the nature
of stainless steel to become prone
to a number of problems not usually
experienced at room temperature. It is
vulnerable to pitting corrosion and stress
corrosion cracking (SCC).
• Stainless steel is NOT better for
durability because it is harder.
Hardness causes the material to
become brittle. Stainless steel will
crack after numerous cycles of
thermal expansion/contraction,
especially with chloride in the
water. Copper heat exchangers
are less brittle and better suited
for expansion/contraction without
cracking.
• In a
dual
heat exchanger design,
corrosion is not a big concern in
the non-condensing primary heat
exchanger because no condensation
forms on the exterior of the pipes.
Stainless steel is unnecessary for this
stage.
Note: H3M, H3J and H3S condensing line units use C1220
copper and do not have a bypass valve

WATER FLOW
Condensation can build up over time in any heat
exchanger, causing damage and premature leaks.
Takagi’s commercial models (M50 series) include
condensation reduction features that safeguard
against these types of damaging effects.
Better Water Pathway
Design
By redesigning and redirecting the flow of water,
the temperature of the heat exchanger drum and
finned coils stay elevated above dew point,
making it much more difficult for condensation to
build.
Fin Pitch
By widening the pitch of the heat exchanger fins,
not only do we improve durability by reducing
occurrences of blockage, we also maintain higher
temperatures on the upper finned coils. Keeping
these coils at elevated temperatures reduces the
likelihood of condensation buildup.

BASIC SIZING GUIDELINES
The flow rate capacity of tankless water heaters depends on
the temperature difference between the desired output and
incoming water temperature. The flow rate comparison chart
and table shown here summarize the flow rate charts found in
the specifications of each model.
Takagi water heaters are sized according to the peak flow
rate requirements, worst-case temperature-rise scenarios,
and types of applications. Once these factors have been
determined, refer to either the flow rate comparison here or
Application designers/engineers can decide whether
to size for full flow, expected flow, or utilize probability
models such as the modified “Hunter Curve.” For large
scale applications such as hotels, apartment complexes
and large restaurants, Hunter Curves are commonly used
to estimate the peak flow rate demand when given the
total amount of fixture units within an application. It is up
to the application designer/engineer to determine the
amount of fixture units within any given application.
the flow rate charts found in each model’s specifications.
Select the appropriate water heater as well as the amount of
water heaters required.

Flow rate is determined by temperature rise. To determine your temperature rise, subtract the incoming water temperature from
the set output temperature. All units are factory set to 120°F or 122°F but can be changed.
Example of Hunter Curves for
Sizing Large Applications
The temperature of incoming ground water
(cold water inlet temperature) varies greatly
throughout the U.S. and also fluctuates
with the changing of the seasons. The
temperature of water as it enters the
water heater will determine the amount of
“temperature rise” required to achieve the
desired hot water outlet temperature (120°F
is recommended).
The best way to measure incoming ground
water temperature is to use a thermometer
to measure cold water temperature during
the coldest season of the year. To simplify
the process, use this map to determine
whether your installation location is in the
Southern Zone, Central Zone or Northern
Zone.
PEAK HOT WATER DEMAND
The next step is to determine how many
gallons per minute of hot water will be
required during the busiest usage period
(peak demand). Consider all appliances
and fixtures that use hot water, including
lavatory faucets, kitchen faucets, washing
machines, dishwashers, showers and
bathtubs. Be sure to determine how many
appliances and fixtures will be used at the
same time (peak demand).

Remember, these are general recommendations. Your Takagi Water Heater Specialist can review your family’s
needs in even greater detail to make sure the model you choose will always provide enough hot water to meet
the demand.
