The gas water heater installation space must be convectively ventilated with the outside. There must be no wires or electrical equipment above the installation position of the water heater. Gas stoves such as gas ovens and gas stoves cannot be installed below. Inlet water and intake valves must be installed separately for the water heater, and the switch is convenient. The height of the water heater installation should be easy to observe.

3. The water heater should be installed on a strong and flame-resistant wall. The hook is firm and reliable. After installation, ensure that the body is vertical and should not be tilted. The connecting parts at both ends of the air pipe must be fixed by the pipe clamp to prevent falling off, and the connecting air pipe cannot be placed close to the gas appliance to prevent the ignition accident of the heat radiation.

4. There must be no wires, electrical equipment or gas pipes above the installation position of the water heater. Gas stoves, gas stoves and other gas appliances cannot be installed below. The installation location of the water heater shall be constructed of non-combustible materials. If the installation site is flammable or flame retardant, the heat shield shall be used for heat insulation. The distance between the heat shield and the wall shall be greater than 10 mm.

The precautions for the use of gas water heaters and the precautions during installation are introduced here.
