The crawl space would need to be able to supply enough combustion air to the heater, as outlined in the manual. If it cannot, you would need to purchase a direct-vent conversion kit (part TK-TV10) in order to set the unit up to bring in outdoor combustion air. Also make sure that your installation complies with any applicable local codes.
The direct vent conversion kit is required. It includes parts needed to create an outdoor fresh air intake on the heater and to cover the standard indoor air intake on the front of the unit. Concentric vent terminations would only be required if you wanted to have a single penetration from the building.
You can, as long as the existing venting is compatible with the T-KJr. unit (which requires 4" Category III stainless steel venting).
Ok. Here is the thing. You need to install a 3/4 pipe from the gas tank to the unit, even if the gas tanks and the unit are 1/2. The more 3/4 pipe are in between, the better the unit will work.!! Very important, otherwise the unit will shut off automatically for error 3. Make sure the unit has its pipe fumes well installed, i mean, it has to have at least 35 inches of vertical pipe and then you can use an elbow. And for the water, just make sure the pressure goes up to 20 psi at least.. With this i think you wont have any trouble.. Refards. Alex Sent from my iPhone
You might get lucky. It depends what other appliances are served by the gas line and how far the unit is from the tank. Among other factors. If you use 2.5 gpm at 80 degree rise then you will need just about the full 140,000 BTU rated input for the tk junior. Phelps Clarke ***.****
I just installed a unit in similar circumstances. 6 months ago. no problem with the operation, customer has had consistent hot water. We did have a problem with sand from the well. make sure that the water supply is well filtered. seems like a nice unit
u must have power (120vac) to operate the onboard computer. if u don't have power to your house, u can rig it up with a small converter (available at auto parts or building supply store for temporary power. Donald-Wade:Hildreth
No. There is an internal blower and microprocessor that need to be powered up. You could run the unit off of a very small generator though. Power draw is very low. Mark
This unit can not be used with out power Sent from my iPad
unless you got some kind of battery/generator backup the answer is no.
No, a Takagi water heater needs power to vent gasses out of it. If there is no power it would be dangerous to try and light it, and I don't think it would work.
No
If the power is out, then your pump won't run so no need to light the flame.
no. even if you could you need power for the internal controls...
no
The unit should fire with no problem. It sounds like the sensor might need to be cleaned.
For heating a better choice would be a boiler over a water heater or tankless water heater. Boilers are designed for heating where water heaters/tankless water heaters are more designed for plumbing.
Yes, it will.
Yes, you can.
The only disadvantage would be efficiency. Tankless water heaters are not designed for radiant heating applications and will usually not yield maximum efficiency if used for radiant heat.
