Water Heater Installation

Corrosive Atmosphere
NOTICE:
The water heater should not be installed near an air supply
containing halogenated hydrocarbons where contaminants
can enter the combustion air supply.
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.

(Some models only)
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.
NOTICE:
The water heater warranty is void when the failure is due to
operation in corrosive conditions.
