Flammable Vapor Ignition
Resistant Water Heaters
A. O. Smith FVIR design meets or exceeds the American National Standards Institute standards
(ANS Z21.10.1) that deal with the accidental or unintended ignition of flammable vapors,
such as those emitted by gasoline.
Feature a sealed combustion chamber with air intake filter and a flame arrestor built
into the water heater base. In addition, a thermal cutoff (TCO) device, is designed
to shut off gas flow to the burner and pilot if poor combustion is detected.
If flammable vapors accidentally enter the
combustion chamber, the arrestor is designed
so flames burn off the top surface and can not
escape down through the arrestor.
