VST gas-fired tankless
Hazard: The exhaust duct can crack, allowing gases to escape inside of the home, posing a carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning hazard that can result in death or serious injury.
Camplux portable tankless
Hazard: The portable water heaters can leak gas from the gas regulator connection, posing a fire hazard.
Usines Giant Factories Gas
Hazard: The power handle can short circuit and overheat, posing fire and burn hazards
Navien condensing tankless
Hazard: A kit installed on the tankless water heaters and boilers to convert them from natural gas to propane can cause the unit to produce excessive amounts of carbon monoxide, posing a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning to consumers.
A. O. Smith
Hazard: The water heater's flame arrestor can fail to work properly, posing a fire hazard.
Ultra-Low NOx
Hazard: The water heater's gas burner screen develops tears. The water heater's burner can then create excess radiant heat, posing a fire hazard if the water heater is installed directly on a wood or other combustible floor.
Rheem electric
Hazard: The control panel on the water heaters can overheat, posing fire and burn hazards.
Water Heating Technologies
Hazard: The water heaters have a space between the burner flange and the combustion chamber that allows flammable liquids or gases to contact burning flammable vapors inside the combustion chamber, posing a risk of fire or explosion.
John Wood oil-fired
Hazard: The water heater's combustion chamber can be misaligned and heat the exterior walls of the water heater instead of the water. Combustible material near the outside of the water heater can catch fire, posing fire and burn hazards.
Giant Factories
Hazard: On units with a space between the bottom of the water tank and the combustion chamber, the flame arrestor or flame arrestor plate can fail, posing a risk of fire or explosion if flammable liquids or gases are nearby.
Tankless gas
Hazard: The water heaters can overheat, posing a fire hazard.
Fluid Handling
Hazard: The ground wire and probe wires could be incorrectly assembled in the units by the manufacturer, posing fire and explosion hazards.
