 P/N 240010943, Rev. C [09/07/2016]

• SAFETY RELIEF VALVE

 - Valve designed to relieve     

pressure in hot water supply system when pressure 

exceeds pressure capability of equipment.

• SAFETY SHUTOFF DEVICE 

-  Device that will shut 

off gas supply to controlled burner in event source of 

ignition fails.

• SEDIMENT TRAP

 - Gas piping arrangement designed 

to collect any liquid or solid contaminant before reaching 

gas valve.

• VENT

 - Passageway used to convey flue gases from     

appliance vent connector to outdoors.

• VENTING SYSTEM 

- Continuous open passageway from 

of appliance vent connector to outdoors for purpose of 

removing flue or vent gases.
