The T-K Jr. is the smallest unit in the Takagi line-up and offers direct vent capability and power. The T-KJr is perfect for light residential (i.e. small apartment units) and radiant heating applications.

Released in 2003, the T-K Jr. is the smallest water heater in the Takagi tankless line. But this small, but powerful unit - with gas inputs up to 140,000 BTU per hour - can meet all the hot-water needs of a small American home or apartment with one or two bathrooms, as well as smaller commercial applications. Designed to virtually do anything a 40-gallon tank-type water heater can do and more, the compact, wall mounted T-K Jr. can support hydronic baseboard or radiant floor heating applications, as well as provide domestic hot water to plumbing fixtures and appliances. The T-K Jr. has an efficiency rating of 83%, using natural gas, and 84% with propane. At an average ?T (rise in temperature) of 60°F in warmer areas - where the winter ground water is 60°F and with the output set at 120°F - the unit will provide 3.8 GPM, or 228 GPH. In colder areas where the input temperature may be 40°F or less you can expect a flow rate of about 2.7 GPM or 162 GPH.

Cost-efficient and environmentally friendly, the T-K Jr. can be converted into a direct-vent unit by using the optional TV09 conversion kit for installation in a garage, a utility closet or any confined space in which makeup air may be limited. Please refer to "Accessories" for more information on venting options.

Using the average of 60°F input water cited above, the T-K Jr. can provide enough hot water for one shower and a lavatory basin at a time; or one low-flow shower (2.5 GPM or less) and an appliance, such as a dishwasher or washing machine, at the same time. For much colder input temperatures, such as 40°F or lower, this unit can provide endless hot water for consecutive uses; that is, running only one major fixture at a time. Please refer to the flow charts for specific rates.

The four preset temperatures on the unit are: 113°F, 122°F, 140°F, and 182°F. To achieve any temperatures other than those presets, your client will require the TK-RE20 temperature controller.

  • Technology to meet today’s demands

    From bathroom to kitchens, the latest trends in home design all add up to one thing: a growing demand for hot water throughout the home. With an average soaker tub holding 70 gallons of water, today’s homes need more than an old-fashioned 50-gallon tank of hot water to keep up. They need the consistent, never-ending supply of hot water you can get with a tank-less hot water heater from Takagi.

  • Up to 50% energy savings

    Not only does Takagi provide you with plentiful and endless hot water…it does it in the most energy-efficient way possible. Instead of keeping a whole tank full of hot water while you’re not using it, Takagi instantly heats only the water you need.

    A Takagi tank-less heater can pay for itself in energy savings alone. As of January 1st, 2006, homeowners are eligible for a $300 federal income tax credit by installing energy-efficient water-heating units from Takagi

  • A legacy of innovation and dependability

    For more than sixty years, Takagi technology has been efficiently heating water in homes around the world. We’re so confident of the quality, dependability and long-term performance of our products that each model carries a ten-year warranty on the heat exchanger and a five-year warranty on all major parts.

Comments about Takagi Flash T-K Jr. Water Heater (20in H x 14in W x 6in D) - T-KJR:

Bought the Takagi TK-Jr to replace a 20 year old tankless. I've had it for 2 weeks, and it's been great... can really churn out the hot water, and i'm very impressed with the flow rate. It also seems to be very sensitive at low water flow rates. I barely turn on the faucet and it starts up. Seems pretty quiet too, though mine is in the garage so it doesn't really matter.
