Location Requirements

Do not use or store flammable products such as gasoline,
solvents, or adhesives in the same room or area near the
water heater. If such flammables must be used, all gas
burning appliances in the vicinity must be shut off and their
pilot lights extinguished. Open the doors and windows for
ventilation while flammable substances are in use.
If flammable liquids or vapors have spilled or leaked in
the area of the water heater, leave the area immediately
and call the fire department from a neighbor's home. Do
not attempt to clean the spill until all ignition sources have
been extinguished.
Site Location
• Select a location near the center of the water piping
system. The water heater must be installed indoors
and in a vertical position on a level surface.
• Consider the exhaust vent system piping and com-
bustion air supply requirements when selecting the
water heater location. The venting system must be
able to run from the water heater to the termination
with a minimal length and number of elbows. The
venting system must comply with the requirements set
forth in the venting section of this manual.
• Locate the water heater near the existing gas
piping. If installing a new gas line, locate the water
heater to minimize the pipe length and elbows.

local and state codes or, in the absence of local and state
