Flammable Vapour Ignition

Resistant (FVIR) Water Heaters

A. O. Smith FVIR design meets the American National Standards Institute standards (ANSI Z21.10.1 - CSA 4.1) that deal with the accidental or unintended ignition of ﬂammable vapours, such as those emitted by gasoline.

Features 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.

1/2" GAS CONNECTION

Maximum Hydrostatic Working Pressure: 150 PSI.

If ﬂammable vapours accidentally enter the combustion chamber, the arrestor is designed so ﬂames burn off the top surface and can not escape down through the arrestor.
