Chairman's Commendation from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
"This is a significant safety improvement, and we encourage consumers to look for this technology when purchasing a gas water heater." — Ann Brown
Chairman, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
Nothing is more important than protecting your family from injuries. That's why a gas water heater equipped with a new Flame Guard? Safety System* can be so important. Flame Guard? is the world's first safety feature to reduce the risk of a flammable vapor-related fire from a gas appliance.
Everyday household products can fuel a fast spreading home fire. Vapors from gasoline, paint thinner, aerosol sprays and cleaning solvents can ignite if they come in contact with an open flame from a candle, matches or the pilot or burner of a gas appliance.
A water heater with the patented Flame Guard? Safety System* is designed to prevent burning flammable vapors from escaping back into the room, thus protecting your family.
This new technology is such an important safety innovation it has earned a special Chairman's Commendation from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, a 1999 "Best of What's New" designation from Popular Science magazine and was selected one of 1999 "99 Best New Products" by Today's Homeowner magazine.
