Failure to properly
Isolate the water heater during an air pressure test presents a hazard to life and property.
With a water pressure test the water heater need not be isolated.
Location
Locate the water heater in a clean dry area as near as practical to the area of greatest heated water demand. Long uninsulated hot water lines can waste energy and water.
Place the water heater in such a manner that the thermostat and element access panels can be removed to permit inspection and servicing such as removal of elements or checking controls.
The water heater and water lines should be protected from freezing temperatures.
Do not install the water heater in outdoor, unprotected areas.
Make certain the floor underneath the water heater is strong enough to sufficiently support the weight of the water heater once it is filled with water.
CAUTION: The water heater should not be located in an area where leakage of the tank or connections will result in damage to the area adjacent to it or to lower floors of the structure. Where such areas cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suitable catch pan, adequately drained, be installed under the water heater.
