Features

heater, gas model 42VR40-40F has several great features. Guardian
System
allows this and other models from Fury series to exceed ANSI standards

ignition resistance.

and your home, as it
automatically shuts down the water heater if flammable vapors
are detected.
This system also lets you operate the unit with less
maintenance involved

arrestor plate is that part of the Guardian System
that prevents the ignition of the flammable vapor outside the
combustion chamber and clogging by lint, dust and oil.

is another advanced feature not only on this 40 gallon
