No Stand Required


Here if we use the new style gas fired heater that have the safety system on them they do not need to be on a stand if in the garage. Is this allowed where your at?

Not allowed here. I asked the inspector about that and his explanation was that the code did not allow for that as an exception to the rule.

Re: No Stand Required


Been using them here for about 5 years now. I love them. Our city codes still require them to be on a stand though.

You wouldn't love them that much if you had to explain to a residential customer why the price of water heaters have increased so much to justify your install price. Another example of our government keeping us safe from ourselves. No disrespect intended toward you.
