Unfortunately this is not a simple answer, as venting is governed by local codes. Please have the installer confirm what is required by code.
Yes, this tankless water heater requires a properly grounded 120 Volt AC power connection to operate.
depends on your system and water usage, yes plus a mixing valve, see the Link below. http://s3.supplyhouse.com/manuals/1289421060124/41440_PROD_FILE.pdf
no, it can not
No, the unit does not include a circulator.
yes it will, you will to reduce after the connection off the unit, it will effect the flow rate.
Most likely no, the TK-4 requires category III stainless steel venting, and it is unlikely that your current venting is made of this material.
Any of the Takagi units (even the T-KJr.) should be fine for a house that size. Just make sure to use primary/secondary piping and make the proper dipswitch adjustments for high-altitude installations.
yes they will, I heat a 1400 sq ft house in chicago with one takagi jr.
I have 3 of these heaters and have never experienced what you described. You can get some water cooling if someone else opens a hot faucet while you are showering. It does not go cold just not as hot.
Not at all. this is the 4th tankless water heater I have owned and by far the best. The temp is super consistent and the delivery is much quicker than the Bosch I owned previously. It has never failed to light, not once. Would recommend without reservation!
I have never had any issues with the water sandwich effect.
No not at all I have installed 4 this year no complaints Sent from my iPhone
No! This is not problem with the unit I have. This can happen if you have poor water pressure at times of showering.
no unit always has hot water
Yes. Just direct vent the exhaust ( 1 ) penetration 99.9 % of installs will do it. Sent from my iPhone
Hello bimranch, I have install four TK-4 heaters. You need to use stainless pipe for the 4" discharge. This is required by manufactor. Z-vent is the brand I have used and the product is easy to install. On the intake side, the conversation kit covers the front intake and provide a 3" intake on the top of the unit. This piping does not have to be stainless steel pipe. If you do not use the conversion kit the unit takes air from the front of the unit and know other piping is required. Hope this helps, jim
Direct vent should be used when you do not have enough fresh air (like a trailer) or in a dust room like a work shop. just stick with the Z-vent and you will be fine.
it only takes two pipes( one for intake ,one for exhaust) unless you use the concentric(sic) pipe then it uses one pipe for both intake and venting. i was able to download the installation manual . it shows all installation methods. ( if you do not use the direct vent conversion there is only the one exhaust pipe and intake air is drawn from the mechanical room.
