Question:

can a gas furnace (Gaffers & Sattler brand) be producing carbon monoxide?

I live in a house with an old Gaffers Sattler brand gas furnace/heater. Could this thing be releasing carbon monoxide? My house carbon monoxide detectors have never set off the alarm but perhaps the release from the furnace could be below its threshold. I would appreciate any advice on what situations might exist with the furnace that could produce carbon monoxide and what the solutions might be.

Answer:

The only safety recommendations I have for pipe fittings are : (1) Assure that they are suitable for the intended service and the pressure. (2) Don't drop them on your foot. The term structural fittings is too broad and vague for there to be a clear understanding of what you want. However : (1) Assure they are suitable for the intended service and the applied load. (2) Don't drop them on your foot.
Yeah, you can get many different types of locks. Locks that can be operated remotely by your cell phone, fingerprint sensitive door locks and many many more. The thing is that these systems will cost you thousands of dollars. I think feeding her cokes is far cheaper than the cost of locking family out. Seems to me like maybe you need to re-examine the family dynamics. Maybe you're going overboard. A cheaper solution might be to get a small fridge, one of those small 5 cubic foot fridges and keep it in your room. You can install a combination lock or a padlock and nobody can get in unless they have the key or know the combination. Otherwise you're going to be spending a TON of money just to protect your cokes. Hope this helps. '')
