HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD:

VVater heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated

to a

temperature

which

will

satisfy

space

heating,

clothes

washing,

dish

washing,

cleaning

and other

sanitizing

needs

can

scald

and

permanently

injure

you

upon contact.

Some

people

are

more

likely to be

permanently

injured by hot water

than

others.

These include the elderly, children, the infirm, or

physically/mentally

handicapped.

Ifanyone

using

hotwaterin

your

home

fits into one

of

these

groups

or if there is a local

code

or

state

law

requiring

a certain

temperature

water

at

the

hot

water

tap, then you must take special

precautions.

In

addition

to

using

the

lowest

possible

temperature

setting

that

satisfies

your

hot

water

needs,

a

means

such

as

a

*mixing

valve,

shall

be

used at the hot water taps used by these people

or at the

water

heater.

Mixing

valves

are

available

at

plumbing

supply

or

hardware

stores, see Figure 14 below. Valves for

reducing

point

of

use

temperature

by mixing cold and hot water

are

also

available.

Follow

manufacturer's

instructions

for

installation

of

the

valves.

Before

FIGURE 13.

Louvers and Grilles: In calculating free area, consideration shall be given to the blocking effect of louvers, grilles or

screens protecting openings. Screens used shall not be smaller than 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) mesh. If the free area through a design of louver or grille is known, it should be used in

calculating the size opening required to provide the free

area specified. If the design and free area is not known, it may be assumed that wood louvers will be 20-25 percent free area and metal louvers and grilles will have 60-75 percent free area. Louvers and grilles shall be fixed in the open position or interlocked with the equipment so that they

are opened automatically during equipment operation.

Special Conditions Created by Mechanical Exhausting or

Fireplaces: operation of exhaust fans, ventilation systems, clothes dryers or fireplaces may create conditions requiring

special attention to avoid unsatisfactory operation of installed gas utilization equipment.
