Facts to Consider About the
Location
You should, carefully choose an indoor location for the new
water heater, because the placement is a very important consid­
eration for the safety of the occupants in the building and for
the most economical use of the appliance. This water heater is
not intended for outdoor installation,
'Whether replacing an old water heater or putting the water
heater in a new location, the following critical points must be
observed,
• The location selected should be indoors as close to and as
centralized with the water piping system as possible. This
water heater, as well as all water heaters, will eventually leak.
Do not install without adequate drainage provisions where
water flow will cause damage.
A CAUTION
WATER HEATERS EVENTUALLY LEAK; Installation of
the water heater must be accomplished in such a manner
that if the tank or any connections should leak, the flow of
water will not cause damage to the structure. For this
reason, it is not advisable to install the water heater In an
attic or upper floor. When such locations cannot be ®ioid-
ed, a suitable drain pan should be installed under the
water heater. Drain pans are available at your local Sears
stores. Such a drain pan must be piped to an adequate
drain.
A CAUTION
INSTALLATION IN RESIDENTIAL GARAGES; The
water heater must be located and/or protected so It Is
not subject to physical damage by a moving vehicle.
The location selection must provide adequate clearances for
servicing and proper operation of the wutcr heater.
