Maybe old question, my plumber installed PEX close to my new AO smith electric tank heater. Right up to the short nipples that come out the top of the heater.
Is that OK? I read this in a 2010 california building code (maybe a draft version):
604.11.2 Water Heater Connections. [Not Adopted by BSC, HCD, DSA/SS, DHS, AGR & OSHPD 1, 2, 3 & 4] PEX tubing shall not be installed within the first eighteen (18) inches (457mm) of piping connected to a water heater.
