I recently purchased aTakagiTK1S, I am preparing to have this
installed soon. My question is this: my existing tank (located in my
basement) has 3" exhaust that goes into the chiminey stack, can the
new venting replace this? Does the venting only need to enter the
stack or does it need to be piped all the way to the roof? I hope
this makes sense. I have a couple photos if that will help,
unfortunately I cannot post them here, so I will email if needed.
Thank you.

Let us know how the installation went/ how things are working.

I'm considering an installtion on a major renovatin. How did you
decide on a Takagi vs. Bosch, etc?

Good luck!

I installed Bosch a few months ago and I just tied into the existing vent
stack with a wye. I'm still using the old water heater for baseboard heat in
my basement and first floor office. Just make sure the pipe is proper sized
and not reduced from heater to existing stack.

Good luck, Rich

I recently installed the Bosch 125 NG tankless heater. This model is
not power vented and can be vented up the chimney. This saved
considerable time and expense.
I was disappointed in the performance of it during the winter when the
incoming cold water here is very cold. I followed some good advice I
got on this ng and used my tank heater to prewarm the water. It is set
on the lowest temperature. The entire system works great.

What area of the US are you located? I live in Pa, and been hearing
not so good things about winter and tankless heaters.
