Customers say's :
This water heater kicks ass
This is one hot-hot water heater. It heats water really well. If you're planning to install this yourself, figure on two days of work and two hardware store runs before you have hot water again. Make sure the family is prepped for that, or out of town!

Takagi water heaters are very well made, and installation is straightforward. The surprises are going to come from the site selection (probably where your big old tank water heater was) and getting the water pipes, gas pipe, and an electrical outlet lined up. Typically tank water heaters have their gas connection near the floor and the water lines near the ceiling, with tankless the connections are all along the bottom face of the machine.

Takagi is now owned by AO Smith. Many of the accessories are sold under the AO Smith label with identical part numbers to the Takagi counterparts. You must buy the valve kit: AO Smith 9007604005 Isolation Valve...

Long but not difficult install. Excellent when finished.
It took me about 12 hours to remove the old tank, reroute the cold feed and hot water lines, install a new flex gas feed, drill the wholes in my outside wall for air flow. I had an existing 110VAC outlet.

I had read that the "AO Smith 9007604005 Isolation Valve Kit" was required. Mine was delayed by a blizzard, but I found a standard set at my local Lowes for less money. They are not so special, just drains and shutoffs on in and out as well as tap for pressure valve on out side. You could use standard 3/4" black pipe parts to build your own for less, but the kits are nicely compact and clean.

My only installation issue was finding a pressure only relief safety valve (not included). Everything local was Temp and Pressure and will not fit. I capped it off for 3 days while I got the part. Got mine here at Amazon: "Rheem AP12993C Pressure Relief Valve"...

finally
no more tanks of hot water losing heat to my air-conditioning. Great product which I have used many times before and had no problems. And it's nice to get back the space that the old clunker took up. My gas bill has been cut in half.
