Protection From Damage
1. All water heaters installed in areas where they may be subjected
to mechanical damage shall be suitably guarded against such
damage by being installed behind adequate barriers or by being
elevated or located out of the normal path of a vehicle using any
such garage.
2. The Administrative Authority may require the use of an approved
dielectric insulator on the water piping connections of water
heaters and related water heating equipment.
3. In seismic zones 3 and 4, water heaters shall be anchored or
strapped to resist horizontal displacement due to earthquake
motion. Strapping shall be at points within the upper one-third
(1/3) and lower one-third (1/3) of its vertical dimensions. At the
lower point, a minimum distance of four (4) inches (102 mm) shall
be maintained above the controls with the strapping.
4. A water heater supported from the ground shall rest on level
concrete or other approved base extending not less than three (3)
inches (76 mm) above the adjoining ground level.
5. When a water heater is located in an attic, attic-ceiling assembly,
oor-ceiling assembly, or oor-suboor assembly where damage
may result from a leaking water heater, a watertight pan of corrosion
resistant materials shall be installed beneath the water heater with
a minimum three-quarter (3/4) inch (20 mm) diameter drain to an
approved location.
NOTE: Obey all local codes. Obtain all applicable permits before
installing the water heater.
NOTE: Install all system components and piping in such a manner
that does not reduce the performance of any re rated assembly.
