Default Re: Gas water heater in bedroom closet

Did one a couple weeks ago with PVC and a rubber connection that had loosened off at the induced forced fan. This is common because when installed the clamp is tightened and then becomes loose if not tighten correctly. Most people don't understand where to install the CO detection and think about fire alarm installation being the best location. Not so, "this is what can kill you".
Gas and carbons act on pressure they are heavier than air and they seek out areas to hide in a basement never setting off detection until it is too late.
