Hi all,
I'm moving my gas-fired WH to a new dedicated closet off the garage - can it sit directly on the garage slab or should I build a platform? The old closet had one, but that was from 1989.
Does the door have to be weather sealed? It will have outside air supply ducting.
Best I can tell, all newer gas water heaters are FVIR and no longer have to be elevated above the garage floor.
I'm in a no-man's land/no AHJ area, but would like to avoid any issues with a home inspection when I sell up.
Thanks,
Michael
