Corderite Combustion Containment (C3) design meets American National Standards Institute standards (ANS Z21.10.1) that deal with the accidental or unintended ignition of flammable vapors, such as those emitted by gasoline.

Covered by four U.S. patents, C3 Technology gas water heaters feature a sealed combustion chamber with air intake screen and a fireproof Corderite flame arrestor built into the water heater base. In addition, a thermal cutoff (TCO) device, integral with the thermocouple, is designed to shut off gas flow to the burner and pilot if poor combustion is detected.
