Wow that is dangerous. I am so glad I put in a residential and pulled my propane. I can not believe that they are still putting this type of unit in now with the new EPA regs limiting the sodium Chromate to protect the tubes.
Scary yes. but dangerous? I have lived with gas appliances most of my life and with proper care they are safe.. in fact safer than electric.
NEVER have I had or heard of a mouse chewing through a gas line and causing a fire.. But I long since lost count of the number of ELECTRICAL fires that started that way.
