Water Plumbing; Pressure Relief Valve - Takagi T-K1 Installation Manual And Owner's Manual

Water Plumbing

Follow local guidelines for the length of the
plumbing line in order to ensure that there is
enough water pressure for all the fixtures on the
line. First, calculate the effective length of the
plumbing line by measuring the total length of pipe,
and then adding to this 5' for each elbow or tee in
the line. Use the following chart to determine the
total number of fixture units on the line, and then
compare with the chart at the bottom of this page
to find the pipe diameter and water pressure
necessary.

Install with control valves on the inlet and outlet,
and use removable unions or connectors to
facilitate maintenance or service if necessary.
If the water heater is installed in a closed water
system, means shall be provided to control thermal
expansion. Contact the water supplier or a local
plumbing inspector on how to control this situation.

Purge the water line of air, and clean the filter
before initial operation.
WARNING:
Do not reverse the hot outlet and cold supply line
connections to the Flash Water Heater. Make sure
the hot and cold lines are connected as in the FOR
YOUR SAFETY section at the front of this manual.

Pressure Relief Valve

An approved pressure relief valve must be
installed in any installation with this unit.
pressure relief valve must be installed on the hot
line out of the unit, with no check valves or control
valves between the unit and the relief valve.
The Pressure relief valve must be rated for 150
PSI, and have a discharge capacity of 165,000
BTU. Connect the discharge opening of the relief
valve to a suitable drain to prevent water damage
should discharge occur.
If the pressure relief valve discharges periodically,
this may be due to thermal expansion in a closed
water supply system. Contact the water supplier or
local plumbing inspector on how to correct this
situation.
Do not plug the pressure relief valve. The line
should have
restrictions and should allow for complete drainage
of valve and line. The pressure relief valve should
be manually operated once a year to check for
correct operation.
Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to
shut off, turn off the manual gas control valve to
the appliance.
