    Abstract: A gas distribution unit includes a main flow passage and a plurality of distribution flow passages that branch from the main flow passage and supplies a fuel gas to each of groups of a plurality of nozzles. A main body includes a main depressed portion that forms the main flow passage, a plurality of depressed portions that form the respective distribution flow passages, and fuel gas inlets provided at upstream ends of the respective depressed portions and communicated with the main depressed portion. Among the inlets, the inlet of the depressed portion corresponding to the group including the largest number of the nozzles is formed to have a diameter larger than diameters of the inlets of the other depressed portions, and the inlet having the large diameter is formed to have a thickness in a center axis direction smaller than thicknesses of the inlets of the other depressed portions.

    Abstract: A water heater includes a primary heat exchanger, a secondary heat exchanger disposed above the primary heat exchanger, a flow path member, and a flow restriction member. The secondary heat exchanger includes a case and heat transfer pipes arranged in the case. The case includes a wall having a gas inlet through which combustion exhaust gas discharged from the primary heat exchanger is introduced into the case. The flow path member connects the primary heat exchanger and the secondary heat exchanger and is disposed adjacent to the gas inlet and is configured to introduce the combustion exhaust gas discharged from the primary heat exchanger into the secondary heat exchanger through the gas inlet. The flow restriction member is disposed on the wall of the case to suppress upward flowing of the combustion exhaust gas that is introduced into the case through the gas inlet.

    Abstract: A water heater includes a plurality of stages of burners, a water supply pipe, a hot water outlet pipe, a heat exchanger, a passing water quantity control unit, a temperature detection unit, and an operation control unit. The operation control unit, upon confirmation that a predetermined start condition of a passing water restriction is satisfied at a start of a hot water supply, performs the output hot water temperature control by calculating a target flow rate that causes no switching or a minimum count of switching of the combustion stages of the burners and configuring the passing water quantity control unit to have the target flow rate. The operation control unit, upon confirmation that a predetermined release condition of the passing water restriction is satisfied, executes the passing water control in which the passing water quantity is returned to the predetermined water quantity by gradually releasing the passing water restriction.

    Abstract: A water heater mounting structure for mounting a case to a mounting surface via a support fitting component that is fixed to the mounting surface in a vertical direction. The case houses a burning device. On a back plate of the case, a lock-engagement fitting component is mounted. The lock-engagement fitting component has an upper plate portion and a lower plate portion. The upper plate portion is fixed to the back plate, and the lower plate portion is lock-engageable with the support fitting component from above and has a dimension longer than the support fitting component in the left-right direction. The lower plate portion is lock-engaged with the support fitting component from above to hang and support the case through the lock-engagement fitting component by the support fitting component.

    Abstract: A water heater connectable to an external air supply and exhaust pipe includes a housing that houses a combustion device, a connecting portion, a first air supply and exhaust pipe, and a second air supply and exhaust pipe. The connecting portion includes an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder projecting upward from an upper surface of the housing. The first air supply and exhaust pipe and the second air supply and exhaust pipe are selectively connectable to the connecting portion. The first air supply and exhaust pipe is connectable to the connecting portion by interpolating a first air supply pipe into the outer cylinder and interpolating a first exhaust pipe into the inner cylinder, and the second air supply and exhaust pipe is connectable to the connecting portion by externally fitting a second air supply pipe onto the outer cylinder and interpolating a second exhaust pipe into the inner cylinder.
