This is the seventh edition of ANSI Z21.10.1 / CSA 4.1, Gas water heaters, volume I, storage water heaters with input ratings of 75,000 Btu per hour or less.

Scope

1.1
This Standard applies to newly produced, automatic storage water heaters having input ratings of 75,000 Btu/hr (21 980 W) or less (see Clause 3, Definitions), hereinafter referred to as water heaters or appliances, constructed entirely of new, unused parts and materials:

a) for use with natural gas;

b) for use with manufactured gas;

c) for use with mixed gas;

d) for use with liquefied petroleum gases;

e) for use with LP gas-air mixtures;

f) for recreational vehicle installation for use with liquefied petroleum gases only (see Clause 4.1.26);

g) for manufactured home (mobile home) installation convertible for use with natural gas and liquefied petroleum gases when provision is made for the simple conversion from one gas to the other (see Clause 4.1.25);

h) for recreational vehicle installation convertible for use with natural gas and liquefied petroleum gases when provision is made for the simple conversion from one gas to the other (see Clause 4.1.26); and

i) for use with combination potable water/space heating applications (see Clause 4.1.29 and Clause 3, Definitions).

1.2
This Standard also applies to water heaters incorporating heat pipe heat exchangers (see Clause 4.4, Heat pipe heat exchangers).

1.7
If a value for measurement as given in this Standard is followed by an equivalent value in other units, the first stated value is to be regarded as the specification, except as noted in Clauses 4.33.2 and 4.34.2.

1.8
All references to “psi” throughout this Standard are to be considered gauge pressures unless otherwise specified.

1.9
Clause 7, Items unique to the United States, contains provisions that are unique to the United States.

1.10
Clause 8, Items unique to Canada, contains provisions that are unique to Canada.

1.11
Special construction provisions applicable to a water heater designed for use with an optional listed conversion kit are outlined under Annex F, Optional provisions for listed appliance conversion kits.

1.12
Clause 2, Reference publications, contains a list of standards specifically referenced in this Standard, and sources from which these reference standards may be obtained.

1.13
In this Standard, “shall” Is used to express a requirement, i.e.: a provision that the use shall satisfy in order to comply with the Standard; “should” Is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised by not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard.
