Vapors from flammable liquids will explode and can ignite causing death and severe burns. Do not store flammable products such as, but not limited to, gasoline, solvents or adhesives in the same room or area near the water heater, boiler or other flame producing equipment. Keep flammable products far away from heaters, boilers, flame producing equipment, in approved containers, tightly closed, out of children’s reach. Gas water heaters, boilers and furnaces have a main burner and a pilot flame or pilot control device. Pilot flames are on all the time or intermittently when an intermittent pilot control device is utilized. Both will ignite flammable vapors. Vapors cannot be seen, are heavier than air, go a long way on the floor, can be carried from other rooms to the pilot flame, pilot control device or main burner by air currents. Gasoline and other flammable liquids give off invisible vapors that travel in the air, and, can be easily ignited. Gasoline should be stored away from ignition sources, outside in a detached garage or shed. Store gasoline in properly sealed approved containers. Containers should always be sealed when not in use. Never use gasoline indoors. It is a motor fuel only and should never be used as a solvent or cleaning agent. Keep children away from gasoline at all times. It should always be stored out of their reach, preferably in a locked cabinet.
All water heaters will eventually leak and may cause damage. The client accepts full responsibility for having or not having drainage provisions installed where water may cause damage. Water temperatures above 125 degrees F can cause severe burns instantly or death from scalds. Children, disabled and elderly are at high risk of being scalded. Instruction manuals should be read before setting temperature at water heater.Water should be tested before bathing or showering. Temperature limiting valves are available and the responsibility of having or not having them installed is solely the customer’s. Water over 125 degrees F can cause severe burns in seconds. Your water heater thermostat should be set to deliver between 120 and 125 degrees F. This setting means you may need a larger water heater. Consumers should consider pressure-balancing, thermostatic combination faucets that help limit water temperature in the bath and shower. Users should never leave a child alone or with other children at bath time, even for a few seconds. When filling a bathtub or starting a shower, users should turn cold water on first, then add hot water until a comfortable temperature is reached. Users should always feel the water temperature throughout the tub before bathing yourself, a child or anyone else. THE FIRM WILL NOT SET THE TEMPERATURE OF HOT WATER AT THE WATER HEATER ABOVE 120 DEGREES F.
Water heater temperature & pressure relief valves and safety valves on heating equipment MUST be operated AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR to assure waterway is clear. Certain natural occurring mineral deposits may adhere to the valve, blocking waterways, rendering the valve inoperative. When the lever is operated, hot water will discharge if the waterways are clear. PRECAUTIONS MUST BE TAKEN TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY FROM CONTACT WITH HOT WATER AND TO AVOID PROPERTY DAMAGE. These valves should be inspected AT LEAST ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS OR SOONER and replaced if necessary by QUALIFIED PERSONS ONLY.
