The air does not flow into a killer water heater. Do not exceed 8 years.

Entering November, it is not far from the winter. Winter is a period of high incidence of gas water heaters and fire-fighting accidents. Due to the low temperature in winter, the doors and windows are often closed and the air circulation is not smooth. As a result, the oxygen supply in the gas water heater and the roasting furnace in use is insufficient, and the natural gas will undergo incomplete combustion, resulting in a large amount of toxic and harmful gases such as carbon monoxide. Poisoning suffocates casualties. In winter, the doors and windows are closed, and the use of gas water heaters and roasting fires for heating in the case of poor air circulation has become the "first killer" of gas accidents.

Gas water heaters should be kept away from flammable materials for a period of not more than 8 years.

Gas water heaters are strictly prohibited from being installed in bathrooms or in any room with poor ventilation and ventilation, including closed balconies without fixed windows. Gas water heaters must be installed away from flammable materials such as curtains to install exhaust ducts leading to the outside, and ensure that the exhaust duct has sufficient pumping force to avoid accidents such as fire and poisoning.

In addition, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine has issued a quality and safety risk warning for domestic gas water heaters through the official website. It is best not to use gas water heaters for more than 8 years, otherwise it should be replaced as soon as possible.

According to reports, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine recently organized the Product Quality and Safety Risk Monitoring Center and the National Gas Appliance Quality Supervision and Inspection Center. After analyzing the typical cases of domestic gas water heater safety accidents, it was pointed out that the national standard "Safety Management Regulations for Household Gas Burning Appliances" stipulates that burning appliances From the day of sale, the expiration date of a fast water heater using artificial gas should be 6 years, and the expiration date of a fast water heater using liquefied petroleum gas and natural gas should be 8 years.

Overage water heater device aging failure may leak and cause explosion

Experts said that the use of gas water heaters over the years, aging failure of safety devices, may increase the gas consumption of water heaters, serious scaling, may also lead to explosions, and nozzles are not easy to catch fire, it is easy to cause carbon monoxide poisoning accidents. The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine therefore issued a safety risk warning to consumers. Do not buy a straight-line water heater, replace the old water heater on time, do not use it for life, and do not exceed the service life of the water heater. There is still deterioration of combustion conditions, water leakage and leakage after maintenance. Gas and other faults must also be replaced.
