A 7" clearance is recommended with a minimum of 5-1/2"
air space between any object and the front and back of the
water heater and 7" on each side. Clearance is needed to
allow for removal of the front and back covers in the event
service is needed.
A minimum 6" clearance is required at the top of the water
heater to pull the filter up and remove it for cleaning. It is
critical that the hot and cold water plumbing and the
electrical connections do not interfere with the removal of
the filter.
