INSTALLATION
All gas water heaters require careful and correct installation to ensure safe and efficient
operation. This manual must be followed exactly. Read the “Safety Guidelines” section at the
beginning of this manual.
•
The T-K3-OS must be installed OUTDOORS ONLY.
DO NOT install the
T-K3-OS
indoors. The T-K3-SP can be installed either indoors or outdoors.
•
The warranty will not cover damage caused by water quality.
Water
hardness may affect the water heater. Water heater may be damaged.
•
The water heater must be installed vertically.
•
If the T-K3-SP is installed in a beauty salon,
some chemicals used in a
beauty salon may affect the flame sensor. Water heater may not work
properly.
TAKAGI recommends isolating the T-K3-SP from beauty
salon elements.
•
Although the T-K3-OS/SP is designed to operate with minimal sound,
TAKAGI 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. If there is no
drain, Takagi will not be responsible for any water damage that may occur.
If you install a drain pan under the unit, ensure that it will not restrict the
combustion air flow.
•
TAKAGI does not recommend installing unit in an attic due to safety
issues.
If you install your
T-K3-SP
in an attic:
•
Make sure your unit will have enough combustion air and proper
ventilation.
•
Keep the area around your T-K3-SP clean. When dust collects on the
flame sensor, the water heater will shut down on errors.
•
Locate unit for easy access for service and maintenance.
•
A drain pan is required to be installed under the water heater in case of
leaks.
