Can you have an oxygen concentrator in a room with a gas heater?
Please read and follow the instructions with your concentrator. Most will tell you to keep all parts of an oxygen concentrator- including tubing- at least 10 ft away from any heat source, including gas heaters. Oxygen does not burn- but it can make things that DO burn, burn VERY quickly. See the link below for safety precautions from one maker of oxygen concentrators- If you have more questions, please contact me through my message board, and I will try to get you a good answer. Thank you to the both of you. I have had the "service" guy tell me its fine but the instrutions say otherwise. I'm sooo conflicted. Thanks again for the input from you two. I never thought I would get a response so quick. HUGS to you two.
