Takagi T-KJr2-IN-LP Review

If you are looking for a water heating solution, there is a large number of things you should know beforehand. If you decided to get rid of the old tanked water heater, you are definitely on the right track. Propane powered models are often installed when there are no natural gas lines, but it’s not always the case. Propane has its advantages, and it can be obtained no matter the geographic location.

Having a continuous source of hot water is possible with a propane heater because propane tanks are portable and easy to obtain. And the majority of propane units, indoor and outdoor ones, are portable because of this feature.

We took this Takagi indoor propane unit, analyzed it, and summarized everything into this Takagi T-KJr2-IN-LP review. We are going to talk about technical specifications, customer support, warranty policy, expectations and design of this tankless unit.

Takagi T-KJr2-IN-LP Specifications

The first thing we noticed was the beautiful minimalist design of this unit. Besides a small Takagi logo on the casing, there are no other markings, and the white color enables it to fit it into any room regardless of its color. On the bottom side, there are the three valves necessary for the heater to work: a water inlet/outlet, and a propane line. And on the top side, there is an exhaust vent, which needs to be set up to lead outside, or to a chimney. If you need further explanations on how these units work and how they are maintained, feel free to go to our in-depth guide on the topic.

When it comes to heating and flow power, this unit is one of the strongest in its class. With a BTU efficiency rating of 19,500 – 140,000 BTU, and a maximum flow of 6.6 GPM/25 LPM, this makes it a good fit for homes with 3 to 4 running faucets. The heat exchanger is made of copper, while the electronics and the pilot light operate on an AC 120V system.

All these specifications make the efficiency factor just above 80%. Combined with the low NOx emission, this model makes a great addition to a new house, as a newly fit water heater or an older house as a retrofit.
