About heaters; instantaneous gas water heaters, for domestic or other purposes

HS code 841911 covers the import and export of instantaneous gas water heaters, a critical component in the global plumbing and heating industry. These heaters play a vital role in providing hot water for domestic and commercial applications, contributing to the comfort and convenience of households and businesses worldwide. As a key part of the broader heating equipment manufacturing sector, the 841911 industry is an important driver of economic activity and technological innovation.

Production process

The production of instantaneous gas water heaters typically involves a multi-step process. First, the main components, such as the heat exchanger, burner, and control systems, are manufactured. These parts are then assembled into the final heater unit, which may include additional features like safety mechanisms and energy-efficient designs. Quality control and testing procedures are crucial to ensure the heaters meet safety and performance standards before being packaged and distributed.

Production inputs

The 841911 industry relies on a variety of inputs, including metal components for the heater body and fittings, gas control valves, thermostats, and other electronic parts. Manufacturers also require access to natural gas or propane supplies, as well as specialized tools and equipment for assembly and testing. Additionally, the industry depends on a skilled workforce capable of operating the production machinery and performing technical installations.

Production outputs

Instantaneous gas water heaters produced under HS code 841911 are primarily used in residential and commercial buildings, where they provide on-demand hot water for various applications, such as 842111 Domestic or laundry-type washing machines, 842121 Dish washing machines, and 842129 Other machinery for cleaning or drying bottles or other containers. The output of this industry also serves as an input for the broader 8421 Machinery for filtering or purifying liquids or gases and 8422 Machinery for washing, cleaning, squeezing, drying, filling, closing, sealing, or labeling bottles, cans, boxes, bags or other containers; machinery for aerating beverages; dish washing machines industries.
