Rebate
Think Green, Save Green. Rebate and incentive programs provide cash-back to consumers for the purchase of appliances that meet certain energy efficiency standards. Most states are offering rebates in the $50 to $250 range. You can search for rebates in your area from here.

Note: Isolation valves are not included but are recommended for installation.

TK-REO2 Remote Control is included:
Released in 2010, the T-K4 improves upon many of the features from the T-K3. The T-K4 is one of Takagi's smaller tankless water heaters. At 13.8 inches wide and weighing only 38 pounds, its ultra-compact design allows it to be mounted on a wall.

Takagi's newest tankless water heater also features an energy factor of 0.82, so it is extremely efficient and environmentally friendly. Since tankless water heaters only burn gas when hot water is needed, installing this unit can help homeowners save up to 45% on their monthly gas bills.

The T-K4-OS has a built-in power venting system and was designed specifically for outdoor installations. The T-K4-OS does not require any additional Category III venting or vent caps, making installation one step easier for installers.

Great Outside Tankless..get all parts

Very neat compact OUT DOOR unit. No venting to buy or install. Just don't install directly under roof overhang. Be sure to buy the Recess Box that completely houses the tankless unit between 16" on center studs (box is 14.2" wide). However, the depth is 9", that's greater than 2x4 or 2x6 wall if house is sided with OSB and HardiePlank. Most youtube vids show mount on exterior wall.... BAD IDEA, easy to see and steal. Recess box is a must and also use Isolation Valves so you can service/replace tankless if necessary without cutting copper pipes. These two items, in addition to the tankless, really add up to the price "$$" when compared to traditional 30g/50g water tanks. One last thing. The position of the valves in the recess box are NOT optimal due to close proximity of the cold & hot water connection points on TK-4 and the lack of space around the valves forcing you to face the Pressure Relief valve to the right to function. To bad you can't see a picture of how it all installs. One youtube vid "Descaliing a Noritz tankless water heater" shows great valve setup but unfortunately this will NOT work on Takagi installed in Recess Box because no room in box to face pressure relief valve to the left.

Received broken

In the end, it works and the one I had previously worked reliably in harsh conditions for years but disappointingly this one arrived perfectly packaged and brand new but with a malfunctioning main computer board which kept the unit from operating. It took several calls and a few hours on the phone with the manufacturer to diagnose but eventually they did determine cause and fed ex'ed a new board to repair. Works fine now

Great water heater

When building our home there was no question we would go tankless.... which one took a while. Lots of research later we order this. We have been in the house almost 2 months and LOVE it! No issues installing. We have a large shower and typically run both shower heads at the same time. No issues with hot water!!

Straight forward, easy installation.

Light weight, easy to install, easy to follow instructions, works fine. Overall great product. This was my first 'external' install that ended up being a flush install. The design of this unit made installation modifications manageable and only frame out and a piping access cover panel were required, basically half day labor costs to customer.

Found this item at a good price.

Was shipped quickly and arrived ahead of schedule. Was not difficult to install and believe it will be a good product for quite a few years.

My first Takagi lsted 14 years without an issue.

Very dependable. Unfortunately you have to wait a bit for hot water compared to a tank heater, especially if your faucet or appliance is a distance form the unit.

2nd Takagi Tankless water heater

After the confusion of Outdoor vs Indoor (we needed an indoor model) was settled my new TK-4 was installed without any hitches. If it works as good as the TK-3 we will be more than happy. First, you have endless hot water no matter how many are using it. Second, the reduction in propane use is substantial and pays for the cost difference especially with the affordable Takagi brand. It does require annual maintenance but it is well worth the minor trouble.

Q: It says OS --- and the photo shows a vent facing up.... what is the venting for the outside one?

The TK-4-OS vents horizontally from a port near the top of the unit. The illustration in the manual is not correct. No other venting attachments are required.

That's Odd. My OS unit direct vents form the front Panel at the top of the unit. So it basically blows vented exhaust horizontally out from the upper most part of the face Panel. There is not even a port on the top as an option, so I don't know why they show it the picture. They are apparently using a stock photo for all models which is oddly inaccurate. Check out page 45 of the manual (on the product page) It shows a picture of al of the different models, this will show the vent port.

The unit vents out the top, front vent. You might be mistaking the mounting flange on top of the unit for a vent. I have this unit mounted in the available outside receptacle/box. The unit supplies all hot water for three baths , laundry, kitchen, and radiant heat for 1150 sq/ft house. I could not be more satisfied. Ned Krabacher
