LOCATING THE WATER HEATER
Property Damage Hazard
•
All water heaters eventually leak.
•
Do not install without adequate drainage.
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 water heater.
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:
• On a level surface. Shim the channel type skid base as
necessary if levelling is required.
• Near a oor 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 oors of
the structure.
• 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
