Takagi Tk-3 Tankless Hot Water Heater Review

Takagi is a Japanese company and makes some of the finest gas tankless water heaters on the market. They have been manufacturing these units since the 1940′s and know their stuff. I personally

Takagi TK-3

have a Takagi TK-1 unit that has been in use for 7 years on the outside of my house mounted on the wall, and it has worked flawlessly. I highly recommend these units.

Takagi TK3 Tankless Hot Water Unit unit has the following specs.

• Compact Size: Only 13.8 inches wide
• Lower Activating Flow Rate: The T-K3 activates at only 0.5 GPM, which allows the use of smaller water flows in bathroom sinks and showers.
• Parallel Installation: the T-K3 can be installed in parallel with up to three other units without the use of an additional control box.
• Direct-Vent Conversion: The T-K3 can be easily converted into a direct vent model for inside installations that need to import combustion air from outside.
• Eight Temperature Settings: the T-K3 offers eight separate temperatures, set by dip-switch: 104 degree F, 113 degree F, 122 degree F, 131 degree F, 140 degree F, 158 degree F, 176 degree F, and 185 degree F.
• Longer vent runs: The T-K3 can have a vent pipe run up to 50 feet with five elbows, instead of the normal 35 with three elbows.

The Takagi TK-3 unit is designed for high demand applications and is perfect for a large home or small commercial space which would need 3 applications running at the same time. An example is where the winter ground water is 60 degrees F and with the output set at 122 degrees F – the T-K3 will provide a 5.4 GPM, or 324 GPH. Even in northern climates where the water is 40 degrees F or less, expect a flow rate about 4.1 GPM, or 246 GPH.

Warranty:

10 years on the heat exchanger, 5 years parts and 1 year labor.
