The T-K3 is Takagi's most versatile and powerful unit that allows you to
connect up to four units without the use of an additional controller unit.
The T-K3 can also be converted to a direct vent model.
There are many features that make this unit
stand out from the rest:
Compact Size: Only 13.8
inches wide, the T-K3 can be recessed between wall studs for even more
space savings! A special recess box is available for outdoor
installations.
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. This reduces water waste and allows
for stable temperatures.
Parallel Installation:
Using Takagi's Easy Link technology, the T-K3 can be installed in parallel
with up to three other units without the use of an additional control box,
generating more flow while saving money, space and installation time. Four
T-K3 unites will deliver a total of 21.6 GPM at 60 degrees F delta T;
or 26 GPM at a 50 degree F delta T.
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:
Instead of the usual four 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.
This versatility reduces the need for a separate remote control. However,
setting temperatures other than the eight presets requires the TM-RE10
temperature controller.
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.
As you can see, the T-K3 incorporates all
those "why-don't-you-have-this?" features into this one new
product. Its larger flow capacity through parallel connections will meet
the hot-water needs of most high-volume residential applications and many
commercial projects, too. In short, the T-K3 fills the gap between the
single residential heater and multiple commercial T-M1 units. Performance
depends on the temperature of the ground water of course: At a delta T of
60 degrees F in warmer areas - for example, 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. In colder areas where the input temperature
may be 40 degrees F or less, expect a flow rate about 4.1 GPM, or 246 GPH

Safety is top of mind
for Takagi. When thinking about product safety, consider the following:
 |
Consistently
safe temperature: All
of our units are factory set at 122°F, offering a safe
and steady temperature with computer controlled precision. |
|
Venting
: All Takagi water
heaters use the safest venting on the market today. The venting seals the exhaust from the top of the unit
through the exterior and the built-in exhaust fan ensures
any harmful fumes are fully expelled from the home every
time the water shuts down. |
|
Safety
Devices: Takagi uses
smart safety and monitoring devices to ensure that the
system is working flawlessly. Computerized electronics
allow a Takagi water heater to monitor itself, so you
won't have to. |
|
Safer
In An Earthquake: With
a Takagi, there is no pilot light to ignite flammable
vapors and no heavy tank to fall or pull pipes out of the
wall, eliminating the risk of scalding from ruptured hot
water pipes as well. |
