Table C. Reduction of Clearances to Protected Surfaces
When installed according to the listed minimum clearances
from combustible construction, the pool heater can still
be serviced without removing permanent construction
around the heater.
However for ease of servicing, we recommend a clearance
of at least 24" (610 mm) in the front, and at least 18" (457
mm) on the water connection side.
