All water heater that burn natural gas or propane require a venting system. The process of burning of the gas is called combustion and it creates heat, exhaust gases including highly poisonous carbon monoxide and moisture.

The water heater's ventilation system removes these byproducts from the home, making it a critical safety feature. In most cases, the type of ventilation system depends on the type of water heater.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO COVER AN ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOX NO MATTER WHERE IT IS LOCATED

When one or more electrical wires are twisted together, the connection causes resistance to the flow of electricity, which in turn creates heat.

With several wires in one box, the heat generated can be multiplied. Not only does the cover protect the wiring from accidental human contact, it also prevents the spread of a fire should the wires overheat.

If a circuit’s fuse or breaker failed, the wires inside an approved junction box with an approved cover would almost instantly burn in two and act as a fuse to stop the flow of current.
