The State of California enacted the California Safe
drinking water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, 
(Prop. 65), which “prohibits any person in the course 
of doing business from knowingly and intentionally 
exposing any individual to a chemical known to the 
State of California to cause cancer or reproductive 
toxicity without first giving clear and reasonable warn-
ing to such individuals.” The Governor’s Scientific 
Advisory Panel added carbon monoxide to the list of 
hazardous chemicals known to cause reproductive 
harm.

Carbon monoxide would not be present in
concentrations that would pose a “significant risk” to 
the consumer when the equipment is installed, oper-
ated and maintained as follows:

• Installed in accordance with all local codes, or in 
   the absence of local codes, with the current 
   National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 
   (latest edition).

• Installed under a properly designed operating  
   exhaust hood.

• Connected to the type of gas for which the 
   appliance is manufactured.

• In-line pressure regulator, not supplied by Keating, 
   must be installed outside the appliance to 
   maintain proper incoming gas pressure (7" W.C. 
   Natural, 11" W.C. L.P.).
