If gas burners are not installed properly, what type of ignition can occur?

When gas burners are not installed properly, delayed ignition can occur. This happens when there is a buildup of gas in the combustion chamber before it ignites. Instead of igniting immediately upon the supply of gas, the gas can accumulate, creating a potentially hazardous situation. When the accumulated gas finally ignites, it can lead to a sudden and violent combustion, which can damage the burner and surrounding area, and pose serious safety risks such as explosions or fires.

Proper installation ensures that gas is dispersed appropriately and ignited without delay, minimizing the risk of dangerous situations. Therefore, understanding the dangers associated with improper installation emphasizes the importance of adhering to proper installation guidelines and procedures for gas appliances.
