If the gas supply goes off temporarily then comes back on does the unit have means to keep raw gas from flowing through it into the room?

If there is an interruption of gas for any reason the thermocoupler will shut off the supply of gas to the pilot. The pilot will go out. For the gas to flow again, you must set the control knob to the pilot setting, depress the knob and light the pilot. Without the control knob deprressed, the gas will not flow. So the answer to your question is yes.

The unit has a pilot light and thermocouple. If the gas supply is interrupted, the pilot light will go out, which will inhibit the gas flow.

This manifold screws on to a typical propane tank with or wo opd. the tree has multi ports to attache supply hoses. When you turn off tank the manifold still holds a fair amount of gas so I recommend leaving the appliance on until it runs out by itself. That way when you remove hose you don't loose gas.

Yes. It's supposed to be an indication that the unit is powered. Don't know why they included it but it is supposed to remain on.

It is hardwired into your electrical system. If you are running wire up to code in the wall, it doesn't matter how far it is. Check with an electrician about the code. I have a thermostat mounted on the unit. Electrical runs into it. So when turned off, no power being drained.

Mine is connected to natural gas without fan and happy with that. If you can have blower on heater it helps to move air better i guess.

electrical power outage, YES. End of the world situation and gas lines are shut off.. then no

Yes, the thermostat will turn off the gas flame when the target temperature is reached and turn it back on again when needed. There is a continuous pilot light.

To some extent yes but the unit does not go into a purge (blowing out hot gases and cooling off) for 5 min in case someone is at the sink turning it on and off. It's stays in a "ready to go" mode and will put out hot water immediately. The sandwich is drastically reduced but the only way to completely get rid of it is to use it recirculating pump.

It can't shut off the gas because the gas isn't running through the scale. You have to do it manually.

You plug it in and it automatically starts and stops to keep the pressure in the tank. If you do not want to do that, you shut it off.

Personally I would not. If the gas tank starts to run out it can increase the amount of co2 the gas canister releases. This is normally fine if you only leave it on during the day (during photosynthesis) but should be turned off at night. You could end up suffocating your tank over 10 days. You're be better off just turning it off.

On mine, once the hose is disconnected from the quick-connect, gas does not flow. However, I still shutoff the gas at the source after I've disconnected - I wouldn't trust the quick-connect long-term. The nice thing about the quick-connect is that I don't have to be in a hurry to shut off the gas valve, and can get to it a few minutes later.

It must be connected to a natural gas line (pipe). If you don't have natural gas where you live, this unit is not for you. If you do have natural gas, it does operate without electricity so is good if you lose electricity.

I would say is the room is ventilated to where you don't get any fumes. but the manufacturer say not to. I grew up with a propane cook stove and don't see much difference in it if proper cautions are observed. I got mine incase of a power outage and as luck would have it we did not loose electricity last winter. so all I have done with mine so far is make sure it worked properly

The unit only works when the gas is filled the are with the gas, by that time you and your family will be death, this is not a good unit and the company that's not back their equipment.

The unit I have runs on the gas piped into my home by the gas company. I call this natural gas, so yes. If you mean some other source of gas I can't say what will work or not. By the way, it works very well and my summer gas bill was cut in half.

This unit is for natural gas . To answer your question it is after the regulator. Your gas is regulated at the meter on most commercially supplied natural gas. If you use 20lb propane you do not need one of these. If you leave your grill on your tank will run out before you burn up your grill. Nice safety device to protect your grill and your wallet. If you forget to turn your grill off at the knobs this has your back, so your grill will not run for a week or the next time you notice it on.
