Water Heater Steel Platform
There are several reasons for having your water heater placed on a water heater steel platform. The most important one is to prevent fire incidents. Lifting your water heater prevents flammable fumes and vapors’ from gasoline, paint or any other combustible fluid from lying on the floor in the garage.
Your water heater stand needs to lift your water heater at least 14 inches off the ground if it is placed in your garage. Whatever you do, don’t you ever place your water heater on the concrete.
Every Water Heater installation must follow code. The new models of water heaters are resistant to flammable vapor ignitions (sealed combustion compartment), but that does not change that water heater installation must be up to code. In every county there are plumbing codes and standards that every water heater owner needs to comply with, so they can ensure the safety of their families in the Phoenix and surrounding areas.
Even if your water heater is the new flammable ignition resistance model, it needs to stay off the ground in case it’s placed inside the garage where a car might get parked. Besides, once you place it on an ideal hot water heater stands, you won’t have to clean up as many contaminants out of the vents and filters. Whatever you do, don’t you ever place your water heater on the concrete.This will make them rot out, shortening their lifespan as a result.
Water Heater Drip Pan
