LPG tankless water heater question

I just ordered one of these guys. Question, is this safe to have set up inside of a bathhouse? Meaning I'm pretty sure the pilot isn't always lit, it just auto lights when there's running water. Just want to make sure we'll be safe, I know we need to vent the exhaust fumes out though.

Can't beat this w a stick then. There's even a smaller one 3.2 gpm for like $116, this dude was only $153

I should say... Technically no they should not be inside. But theoretically you can probably get away with it.

Why theoretically no then?
Cause there is a warning on them that if you smell gas, do not use the phone to call the gas company, go to a neighbors and do so.
Just got one for a mother-in-law suite we did. It's installed outside, which I assume is to code. There is a big warning label on the outside stating the above. I assume then there is some sort of pilot or ignition that could fail.

It looks like a Chinese Knock off a Marey water heater. Marey's installation instructions are for mounting inside.
From Marey: Install it anywhere, because you don't need an electrical connection. The ignition is battery-powered. Popular uses are for RV, food trucks, remote cabin, pool and poolhouse shower, barn, dog kennel, small cottage in the country.

The same thing would apply to your stove, water heater, furnace, gas logs, etc. all items located inside the house.
With proper venting I don't think installing it in a bath house would be a problem. You could install a carbon monoxide detector if it makes you sleep better at night but carbon monoxide makes you sleep pretty sound too

as long as it is vented correctly, it will be fine...
