Abstract
A single control device is operational to control the flow of gas to a water heater as well as to protect against excessive temperature and pressure. The control device requires only a single fitting to be attached to the water heater tank to expedite the assembly process, eliminate a number of potential sources of leakage and reduce heat loss.
