TAKAGI TK-240X3 Residential/Commercial Gas Tankless Water Heaters Instruction Manual

TAKAGI TK-240X3 Residential/Commercial Gas Tankless Water Heaters Instruction Manual

Takagi has combined water heating and treatment in a product designed to revolutionize tankless water heating. Our new condensing gas tankless line features X3 Technology that extends life on the unit up to three times longer than traditional/unprotected models.

X3 SCALE PREVENTION TECHNOLOGY (PATENT PENDING)

• No annual descaling required
• No scale buildup means the heater maintains like-new performance longer

ENERGY STAR® QUALIFIED

DURABLE HEAT EXCHANGER

• Primary heat exchanger is constructed of a commercial-grade copper that is more resilient to corrosion. Copper is 25x better at heat transfer than Stainless Steel, thus stabilizing outgoing water temperatures quicker
• Secondary heat exchanger is made of 316L Stainless Steel to protect against corrosion

QUALIFIED AS LEAD FREE UNDER THE SAFE DRINKING WATER ACT

SAFETY FEATURES

• Exhaust & Water Temperature Safety Control
• Overheat Cut-Off Fuse
• Air-Fuel Ratio (AFR) Sensor

INTERNAL FREEZE PROTECTION SYSTEM

RECIRC CAPABLE

• Tankless water heaters with X3 Technology are approved to work with an external recirculation pump and cross-over valve. See training manual for full details.

POWER DIRECT VENT DESIGN

• Category III or IV venting can be used
• Exhaust, 3” PVC up to 70’; 4” PVC up to 100’
• Provides flexible venting with PVC, CPVC, polypropylene, or ABS Pipe for Intake and Exhaust (solid core only)

ACCESSORIES

• Pipe Cover
• Neutralizer Kit
• X3 Freeze Protection Kit
• Concentric Termination
• Recess Box

The heater also consists of inline fusing and surge absorbers for electrical surge protection, an electronic spark igniter, aluminized stainless steel burners, hi-limit temperature switches to monitor water and exhaust temperatures, modulating gas valve, an overheat cutoff fuse, ceramic heating blocks to protect the heat exchanger and water piping. The indoor heater shall incorporate auto-fire system for additional freeze protection. The indoor model shall include an exhaust temperature monitoring system using an exhaust thermistor and automatic hi-limit switch to maintain safe exhaust temperatures for sch. 40 PVC. The heater shall have a built-in condensate trap for the secondary heat exchanger The heater shall incorporate a condensate drain blockage detector to provide safe operations and prevent overflow.

The heater shall be design certified by CSA according to CSA/ANSI Z21.10.3•CSA 4.3, approved for sale in the United States, ENERGY STAR® qualified, has a minimum uniform energy factor of 0.93, meets the energy efficiency requirements of the U. S. Department of Energy and ASHRAE 90.1, complies with SCAQMD Rule 1146.2 and other air quality districts with similar requirements for low NOx emissions of 14 ng/J or 20 ppm.
