This installation shall allow access to the front of the water heater and
adequate clearance shall be provided for servicing and operating this water
heater. The water heater may be installed on either a combustible or non-

shall be installed on top of a metal or wood panel (or equivalent) extending
beyond the full width and depth of the appliance by at least three (3) inches
(7.6 cm) in any direction or, if the appliance is to be installed in an alcove or
closet, the entire floor shall be covered by the panel. If the rating plate or
the label on the front of the water heater specifies minimum clearances
less than those listed in the below table, the water heater may be
installed in accordance with the minimum clearances listed on the rating
