The Flame Guard Safety System is designed to reduce
the risk of flammable vapor-related fires. The patented
system protects your family by trapping the burning
vapors within the water heater combustion chamber
through the special Flame-trap. The burning vapors
literally “burn themselves out” without escaping back
into the room. In the event of a flammable vapor
®
incident, the Flame Guard Safety System shuts off the
gas supply to the water heater's burner and pilot,
preventing re-ignition of any remaining flammable
vapors in the area. This will permanently disable the
water heater.
Do not use or store flammable products such as
gasoline, solvents, or adhesives in the same room or
area near the water heater. If such flammables must be
used, all gas burning appliances in the vicinity must be
shut off and their pilot lights extinguished. Open the
doors and windows for ventilation while flammable
substances are in use.
If flammable liquids or vapors have spilled or leaked in
the area of the water heater, leave the area immediately
and call the fire department from a neighbor's home. Do
not attempt to clean the spill until all ignition sources
have been extinguished.
Site Location
!
Select a location near the center of the water piping
system. The water heater must be installed indoors
and in a vertical position on a level surface.
!
Locate the water heater as close to the chimney or
gas vent as practical. Consider the vent system
piping and combustion air supply requirements
when selecting the water heater location. The
venting system must be able to run from the water
heater to termination with minimal length and
elbows.
!
Locate the water heater near the existing gas
piping. If installing a new gas line, locate the water
heater to minimize the pipe length and elbows.
Note: This water heater must be installed according to
all local and state codes or, in the absence of local and
state codes, the “National Fuel Gas Code”, ANSI
Z223.1(NFPA 54)-latest edition.
