Hot water heater burner assembly

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6929279
Rheem Manufacturing Co.'s compact water-heater burner design conserves space within the heater-tank assembly and reduces its overall height. The improved burner assembly uses a gas-supply tube with a uniquely constructed end portion for mounting the burner-support bracket and burner. The end portion, partially flattened on its top surface, includes an attached gas-discharge orifice. The burner supply bracket attaches directly to the end portion or is otherwise supported so that gas passing through the discharge orifice appropriately mixes with air for combustion.
