TK-RE01 Temperature Remote

Controller

The TK-RE01 Temperature Remote Controller has two functions, it allows the maximum output temperature from the T-K2 to be

adjusted within the range of 95° F to 180° F, and it also works as a diagnostic toll that will give a concise error code whenever there is a problem with the unit. The temperature options are 95° , 100° , 102° , 104° , 106° , 108° , 109° , 111° , 113° , 115° , 117° , 122° , 131° , 140° , 158° , 167° and 180° F. See the troubleshooting section for information on possible error codes.

TK-BK01 Wall Mounting Brackets

The TK-BK01

Wall Mounting Brackets allow the T-K2 to be installed hanging from a wall. It is not necessary to earthquake strap

these heaters if these brackets are used. If the unit is not going to be mounted on a wall, the “L” brackets that are included with every unit will be sufficient as earthquake protection. Install unit and brackets according to manufacturer’s installation instructions and any applicable codes.

TK-TV01 Vent Terminator

This terminator can be used where a T-K2 is going to be vented out through a wall. This is an CSA approved part of the unit. Connect a Category III Special Gas Vent from the top of the unit to the

backside of this terminator to exhaust flue gases through the wall without a large

thimble. Install vent terminator in accordance with manufacturer’s installation instructions and any applicable codes.

TK-TV03 Vent Damper

The TK-TV03 Vent Damper prevents the backflow of air through the exhaust vent. This is also an CSA approved part of the unit. This helps prevent harmful

exhaust gases from entering the home, as well as helping to prevent the units from freezing in areas where cold air can be blown into the exhaust system. Install vent damper according to manufacturer’s installation instructions, and any applicable codes.

TK-TV04 Vent Cap

The TK-TV04 Vent Cap is for outdoor installation with the T-K2 water heater. The cap is installed on the top of the unit, instead of connecting an exhaust vent. The cap will prevent any debris that might be in the environment from entering the unit and causing damage or a fire hazard, as well as preventing rain or other weather from entering the unit.
