With over four billion hours of trouble-free performance in the field and more than 800,000 installations, GSW Flame Guard® system gas water heaters are the only Flammable Vapour Ignition Resistant (FVIR)-compliant water heaters on the market with over five years of proven performance. FVIR water heaters are designed to keep burning vapours inside the combustion chamber until they burn out. A sensor inside the water heater will detect if it has ignited a flammable vapour from outside of the water heater and shut off the flow of gas to the burner and pilot light.
Flame Guard® patented technology prevents the ignition of flammable vapours from products such as gasoline, paint thinner and solvents. Subjected to over 1,000 tests including lint, dust and oil, butane and endurance burn, the Flame Guard® system is the safest and most proven technology available today.
