6.6 GPM Natural Gas Indoor Tankless Water Heater **If adding the S8008001005 to your order and DO NOT have an exsisting 3/4" gas line, you will need to upgrade to one.

Customers say's :
Great deal, easy to intall. Requires reading, of course. Otherwise not beyone what most home owner already know.
I purchased this water heater from Amazon after 3 attempts to have Sears install a traditional 40 gallon (short). Problems were so numerous but not relevant to this review. Suffice it so say my frustration level reached to the point that I started thinking out of the box. I need hot water, my current one had died and I had already read several item about these type of water heater but really never consider them until I logged on to Amazon, I looked at their offering then went to Consumers Report plus consulted with a local plumber friend who, in the past had installed Rheem tankless water heaters but was not particularly impressed with them. After reading about Takagi (an extremely creative Japanese manufacturer ) at Consumers Report (they rated this water heater as a outstand product but service was only fair). The box warns that the warranty is void if it is not installed by a Takagi Certified Technician. Based on other reviews on Amazon the US based service techs are...

owner / plumber
i have 3 of these in my home and rent houses
this is the best i even use it to fill my hot tub with hot water
if you have a small family 5 or less it will be fine for your needs
hope the info helps we relocated ours to the attic and it saved us more closet space too


Compact and easy to install
We run a 4 suite Bed and Breakfast in the Finger Lakes region of NY state (The Yorkshire Inn). We have now installed 2 of these units, with each unit providing hot water to two suites. The units are compact and pretty much self contained. Both of our units came with the remote control unit - so it looks like you no longer need to purchase it separately. You need to run category III vent pipe. No single wall or PVC. It takes a 3/4 inch gas fitting and you need to ensure that you can feed it enough gas.

I was surprised to learn two aspects of the heater - it contains a power vent and it automatically adjusts the gas consumption for the demand. The power vent makes extended horizontal venting possible. If you live where the temperature can drop below 20 degrees outside, don't forget to install a back flow preventer in the vent pipe, otherwise you may freeze the heat exchanger. It is worth the extra $35 !!

This unit can easily provide 120 degree water to two...
