LOCATING THE NEW WATER HEATER

Facts to Consider About the Location

Carefully choose a location for the new water heater. The placement is a very important consideration for the safety of the occupants in the building and for the most economical use of the appliance.

Whether replacing an old water heater or putting the water heater in a new location, the following critical points must be observed. The water heater must be located:

1.On a level surface. Shim the channel type skid base as necessary if levelling is required.

2.Near a floor drain. The heater should be located in an area where leakage of the tank or connections will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the heater or to lower floors of the structure.

3.Close to the point of major hot water usage and the power supply.

Hot water piping and branch circuit wiring should be as short as possible.

Insulate hot and cold water piping where heat loss and condensation may be a problem.

Heater construction permits installation, maintenance, and service work to be performed through the front control panel.

Suggested clearances from adjacent surfaces are 12 inches on top, 30 inches in front for access to the unit.

The heater may be installed on or against combustible surfaces. The left side and back may be placed flush against adjacent surfaces.

The temperature of the space in which the water heater is installed must not go below 32°F or above 122°F.
