<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a water heater capable of improving heat insulation between a lower portion of a tank liable to be exposed to a low temperature and a pipe connected with the lower portion, and outside air, and to simplify work for heat insulation. <P>SOLUTION: In this water heater 1, a bottom of the tank 31 is covered with a bottom heat insulating material 511 formed of polystyrene foam and a second heat insulating material 52 formed of wool. The bottom heat insulating material 511 has a cut 511b so that it does not interfere with a pipe connecting portion 60 at the bottom of the tank 31 and a pipe 70 connected with the pipe connecting portion. The second heat insulating material 52 covers the bottom of the tank 31 exposed from the cut 511b, the pipe connecting portion 60 and the pipe 70. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
