    • Please read all installation instructions completely before installing this product. • If you have any problems or questions regarding this equipment, consult with Takagi or its local representative. • The T-M32 Water Heater is an on-demand, tankless water heater designed to efficiently supply endless hot water for your needs.
  • Page 4: Safety Guidelines

    National Electrical Codes: ANSI/NFPA 70 in the USA or CSA standard C22.1 Canada Electrical Code Part 1 in Canada. Carefully plan where you intend to install your T-M32 Water Heater. Please ensure: • Your water heater will have enough combustible air and proper ventilation.
  • Page 5: Installation

    As with any water heating appliance, the potential for leakage at some time in the life of the product does exist. Takagi will not be responsible for any water damage that may occur. If you install a drain pan under the unit, ensure that it will not restrict the combustion air flow.

  • Page 10: Direct Intake Vent System

    The T-M32 must be installed in a location where the proper amount of combustible air will be available to it at all times without obstructions. • If used as a direct vent appliance, the T-M32 requires a 4” combustible air supply pipe. The intake pipe must be sealed airtight. •...
  • Page 11 350ºF. For best results, a vent system should be as short and straight as possible. This Takagi water heater is a Category III appliance and must be vented accordingly with any 4” vent approved for use with Category III or Special BH type gas vent.
  • Page 12: Vent Termination

    • A proper sidewall vent terminator is recommended when the water heater is vented through a sidewall. If the T-M32 is converted to a direct-vent unit, a proper sidewall direct-vent terminator is to be used. General rules for venting the T-M32 water heater are: Place the water heater as close as possible to the vent terminator.
  • Page 13 • Follow the vent system to vent manufacturer’s instruction and local code. • Do not common vent or connect any vent from other appliances to the T-M32 vent. • Use 4” category III approved or Special BH, single or double wall stainless steel vent pipe.

  • Page 15: Gas Supply And Gas Pipe Sizing

    Until testing of the main gas line supply pressure is completed, ensure the gas line to the T-M32 is disconnected to avoid any damage to the water heater.
  • Page 16 Otherwise, flow capabilities and output temperatures will be limited. Install a manual gas shut-off valve between the T-M32 and the gas supply line. When the gas connections are completed, it is necessary to perform a gas leak test either by applying soapy water to all gas fittings and observing for bubbles or by using a gas leak detection device.

    REMOTE CONTROLLER CONNECTION 1) Disconnect power supply from the T-M32. 2) Take off the T-M32’s front cover. 3) Please find the remote control terminal using the picture below (located around the lower right-hand side of the T-M32). 4) Open the plastic cover of the TM-RE30, and then attach the fork terminal to the connector base of the backside the TM-RE30 with two screws.
  • Page 21: Pump Connection

    The T-M32 can be used to control a recirculation pump. Proper pump control helps to preserve the life of the system and saves energy as well. The T-M32 pump control port is a “normally- open” dry contact, and therefore needs additional components to properly control a recirculation pump.
