pilot flame by air currents.
Vapors from flammable liquids

Installation:
Do not install water heater where flammable products will be stored or used such as a garage,
basement, storage area or utility room unless the main burner and pilot flames are at least 18”
above the floor. This will reduce, but not eliminate, the risk of vapors being ignited by the main
burner or pilot flame.
