The Kepler 163K Tankless Water Heater is a high-efficiency, on-demand water heating system designed to provide continuous hot water for residential and light commercial applications. It is built to deliver hot water quickly and efficiently while saving energy compared to traditional tank-based water heaters.

Key Features:

• Maximum Flow Rate: Capable of delivering up to 163,000 BTUs per hour, which translates to a high flow rate of hot water suitable for larger households or multiple simultaneous hot water demands.

• Hot Water Output: Provides continuous hot water on demand, supporting multiple fixtures simultaneously, though it is more suited to smaller homes or applications with lower simultaneous demand compared to the 199K model.

• Energy Factor (EF): Typically features a high EF rating, often above 0.90, indicating excellent energy efficiency. This means most of the fuel used by the water heater is converted directly into heat, reducing energy waste.

• On-Demand Heating: Only heats water when needed, which eliminates the standby energy losses associated with traditional tank water heaters.

• Compact and Space-Saving: The tankless design allows the unit to be mounted on walls, saving valuable floor space. Its compact size makes it ideal for installation in tight spaces such as closets, basements, or utility rooms.

• No Recirculation Pump: This model does not include a recirculation pump, making it more straightforward and cost-effective for installations where immediate hot water recirculation is not necessary.

• Corrosion-Resistant Components: Built with high-quality materials that resist corrosion, extending the lifespan of the unit and ensuring reliable performance over time.

• Venting Options: Offers flexible venting options, including both horizontal and vertical configurations, to accommodate different installation requirements.

• Versatile Placement: Suitable for installation in various locations, including indoors or protected outdoor areas, depending on the model's venting and weather protection features.

• Temperature Control: Equipped with precise temperature controls, allowing the user to set and maintain the desired water temperature, preventing scalding.

• Overheat and Freeze Protection: Includes safety features such as overheat sensors and freeze protection to ensure safe operation in various conditions.
