Heater placement and clearances

Warning: The water heater with recess
box accessory is intended for an out-
door installation only.
The water heater is approved for installation on a
combustible wall (see chapter 4.4 Mounting
installation) provided the floor covering below
the heater is noncombustible. For installations in an
alcove or closet, maintain the minimum clearances to
combustible and non-combustible materials. See
chapter 2.5, page 8.
Do not install the Recess box:
• Under a deck or patio.
• Side of the building with prevailing winter winds.
• Close to plants or trees.
• In areas where people or animals can accidentally
touch louvered exhaust openings.
• Maintain a clean area in front of the appliance of 4
feet (1,2m).
The Recess box should be installed so the discharge
vent maintains the minimum allowable clearances as
required by the local authority. Where no local require-
ment exists, maintain the following minimum suggested
clearances from builing openings as shown in Fig. 15.
