Wall Hanging Installation

For a wall mount installation, use TK-BK01 brackets to securely attach the T-K1S 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.

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

If this unit is installed under an overhang, there must be a 36” clearance from the top of the unit to the overhang, and the surrounding area must be open in front and on the sides of the unit.

WARNING: Do not have the flue terminal pointing toward any opening into a building. Do not locate your heater in a pit or any location where gas and water can accumulate.

WARNING: Do not install the heater where water, debris, or flammable vapors may get into the flue terminal. This may cause damage to the heater.

This model is part of Whirlpool's commitment to innovative technology and superior performance, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial applications.

One of the standout features of the T-K1S is its on-demand heating capability. Unlike traditional water heaters that store hot water in a tank, the T-K1S heats water only when needed.

Homeowners can enjoy continuous hot water, making it ideal for multiple simultaneous uses such as showers, dishwashing, and laundry.

The T-K1S is equipped with advanced technology that optimizes energy use. With its high-efficiency rating, it significantly reduces energy consumption compared to conventional water heaters. The built-in digital scale allows users to set precise temperatures, ensuring comfort while also promoting energy conservation. This feature also helps to minimize the carbon footprint, making the appliance an eco-friendly option.

Safety is a paramount consideration in the design of the T-K1S. It features multiple safety mechanisms, including a robust thermal control system that prevents overheating. The unit also has a built-in safety shut-off mechanism which activates in the event of water flow disruptions, ensuring peace of mind for users.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the T-K1S is its compact design. The space-saving design offers flexibility in installation, allowing it to fit in small or tight spaces, such as utility rooms, basements, or even closets. This feature is especially beneficial for those with limited room for traditional, bulky water heating systems.

Durability is another key aspect of the Whirlpool T-K1S. Constructed with high-quality materials, it is designed to withstand the test of time, minimizing the need for repairs or replacements. Whirlpool also offers excellent warranty options for added security on your investment.

In summary, the Whirlpool T-K1S is an exceptional tankless water heater that combines efficiency, safety, and durability. With its on-demand heating technology, energy-saving features, and compact design, it represents a smart choice for anyone looking to enhance their hot water supply while being environmentally conscious.
