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.
