PK Water Heaters Innovative Equipment and Uses
Patterson-Kelley’s history dates back to 1880. Our first patent, issued in 1892 and later signed by Thomas Edison, was for the U-tube feedwater heater, the predecessor of today’s standard U-tube heat exchangers.
PK has evolved over the years, continually adapting and changing to lead the marketplace. PK is still innovating and continually bringing new products to market. Our lines of rugged, dependable, uncomplicated semi-instantaneous and gas-fired water heaters can handle just about any building’s requirements either singly or in multiple unit installations.
PK product line focuses on small heaters that produce high hot water output at a closely controlled temperature, making them ideal heaters for any building owner. Their design utilizes PK’s own Anticipator® control to regulate hot water outlet temperature, even with sudden fluctuating draws. With their exceptional, double bolted tubesheet construction, our Compact® semi-instantaneous water heaters let you inspect and service their bundles in place. This leads to quicker maintenance and shorter system outages, giving you the reliability you want and deserve.
Our direct gas-fired Thermific® Water Heating System has only five connections for easy installation, and when it comes to small size, big output, the Thermific and our Modu-Fire® FD are hard to beat. They feature a state-of-the-art vertical design, using a radial-fired burner/heat exchanger, developed by PK engineers. The Modu-Fire FD Water Heating System is the first water heater of its kind to offer system oriented intelligence.
