COMPONENT LOCATION
CAUTION
This water heater must be located in an area where leakage of
the tank, water line connections, or the temperature and pressure
relief valve will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the
water heater or to lower floors of the structure. When such
locations cannot be avoided, a suitable drain pan must be
installed under the water heater. The drain pan depth must be
suitable for draining and collecting water and have a minimum
length and width of at least four (4) inches measured from the
jacket of the water heater. The drain pan, as described above,
can be purchased from your plumbing professional. The drain pan
must be piped to an adequate drain. The piping must be at least
¾ inch in diameter and pitched for proper drainage.
