Wall Hanging Installation


For a wall mount installation, use TK-BK01
brackets to securely attach the T-K2 to the
wall.
Locate the heater as desired, but follow all
applicable local codes, as well as the indoor or
outdoor clearances that apply to the
installation.

Standing Installation


If the unit is to be installed standing on a
surface, adjust the legs so that the unit stands
securely and is level (legs can be adjusted up
to 1”).
Do not install the unit standing directly on a
combustible surface. Use a 3” non-
combustible base.

Use the included L brackets to connect the
unit to a wall to ensure that it does not fall over.
These brackets will maintain the required 1”
clearance between the back of the unit and a
combustible surface.

Outdoor Installation


Follow all local codes, or in the absence of
local codes, follow the codes for Installation of
Gas Burning Appliances; National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z221.23 in USA or CAN/CGA
B149.1 or .2 in Canada.
For outdoor installation, purchase a TK-TV04
and install on the top of the unit.
Set the dipswitches for an outdoor installation
(See pgs. 21-22).

Locate the water heater in an open, unroofed
area, and maintain the following minimum
clearances from combustible and
noncombustible materials.
