General 

 
All gas water heaters require careful and 
correct installation to ensure safe and efficient 
operation. This manual must be followed 
exactly. 
1.  Read the For Your Safety section in the 

beginning of this manual. 

2.  This unit is not capable of being used as a 

pool or spa heater. 

3.  The regulator is preset at the factory. It is 

computer controlled and should not need 
adjustment. 

4. Suitable for potable water heating only.  

Well water or hard water may cause scale 
problems that will not be covered by the 
manufacturer’s warranty. 

5.  Maintain proper space for servicing. Install 

the unit so that it can be connected or 
removed easily. 

6.  Install so that the electrical power can be 

switched off if necessary. 

7.  Avoid installing in an area with high levels 

of dust, sand or debris. Particles may clog 
the air vent, reduce fan function, or cause 
improper combustion.

 

 

8.  Do not install the unit where the exhaust 

vent is pointing into any opening in a 
building or where the noise may disturb 
your neighbors. 

 

Accessories

 

 
Check that all the parts listed below were 
included with the unit. 

 
 

 

 

Electrical Connections

 

 
The T-K2 requires a 60 Hz 120 VAC electrical 
power supply, and it should be properly 
grounded in accordance with the most recent 
edition of the National Electrical Code, 
ANSI/NFPA 70 and any local codes. In 
Canada, all electrical wiring to the heater 
should be installed in accordance with the 
Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 Part 1, 
and any local codes. Do not rely on the gas or 
water piping to ground the metal parts of the 
heater. 

CAUTION

: Label all wires prior to 

disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring 
error can cause improper and dangerous 
operation.  Verify proper operation after 
servicing. 

 

A means for switching off the 120 VAC 
power supply must be provided.

 

 

Wire the heater exactly as shown in the 
wiring diagram.

 

 

A green screw is provided in the junction 
box for the grounding connection.

 

 

This section is for the installer. The 
installer is responsible for the correct 
installation of your Flash Water Heater. 

For Your Safety: 

Only a certified and 

trained service technician or qualified 
plumber may service or install your 
product.

 

Please keep this owner’s manual in a safe 
place for future reference. Copies of this 
manual are available from TAKAGI-USA
