Takagi outdoor tankless water heaters do have freeze protection, but they are only designed for installation in mild, temperate climates. Keep in mind, also, that the freeze protection cannot function during a power outage.
We have had no freeze up problems as where we live in Ca it seldom gets below freezing. We cannot speak for North/ South Dakota, Minnesota or the Eastern Seaboard etc.
The unit will protect itself from freezing as long as it has power to the unit. The unit will not protect the pipes to and from the heater. Good freeze protection practices will be required for the plumbing outside ie locating the unit and plumbing in a outdoor cabinet or heat tape and insulate the exposed plumbing. Sent from my iPad
Our coldest weather in the eleven years I've lived here started two weeks after installation of our outdoor-mount Takagi tankless heater. It dropped to 10 degrees, and since the heater is meant to be good to 20, we left the water running, just enough to move, not enough to fire the heater. We live in a part of the world where it so rarely gets below 25 degrees F. that leaving the water on a trickle is the common way to keep the pipes from freezing. This last winter the coldest nighttime temperature has been 22F and the heater has been fine. We love it!
Takagi water heater has an anti-freeze devise, which warms up the heat exchanger. If this might be not enough it is better to use a blend of water and antifreeze (propylene glycol) solution, in proportions according to lowest expected temperature. But take into account that glycol-water blends are more viscous than pure water and perhaps a bigger pump would be needed.
This unit can meet all of the hot-water needs of a small home or apartment with one or two bathrooms. It is designed to do anything that a 40-gallon tank-type water heater can do.
That depends on the respective rates for natural gas and liquid propane in your area.
The natural gas version of this product is more economical than the propane version.
We would recommend 3/4".
No, 3/4 inch is required.
There is a natural gas models of this heater available here (part T-KJr2-OS-NG): http://www.pexsupply.com/Takagi-T-KJR2-OS-NG-T-KJr2-OS-Takagi-Tankless-Outdoor-Water-Heater-Natural-Gas
