Water Heater Installation
Corrosive Atmosphere
NOTICE: The water heater should not be
installed near an air supply containing halogenated
hydrocarbons.
Avoid installing a water heater in any of the following
locations: beauty shops, dry-cleaning establishments,
photo processing labs, and storage areas for liquid
and powdered bleaches or swimming pool chemicals.
These locations often contain such halogenated
hydrocarbons.
The air supply containing halogenated hydrocarbons is
safe to breathe, but when passed through a gas flame,
corrosive elements are released that will shorten the
life of any gas-burning appliance.
Propellants from common spray cans or gas leaks from
A/C and refrigeration equipment are highly corrosive
after passing through a flame.
The water heater warranty is void when the failure is
due to operation in corrosive conditions.
