That is funny Keith.
I don't think this board has to many Politicians, so mention of your chistian name works for me and if anyone does not like it, tuff sh#t.

Hi,

Just wanted to determine if the codes mentioned only apply
to gas heaters.. Given the same senario, if the water heater
was an electric or tankless system, could it be installed in a
closet inside of a bedroom. I was considering having my den converted
to a den/bedroom... but my problem is similar. There is a gas waterheater installed in the room (closet). I was kinda thinking maybe i could have it converted to electric or better yet tankless.. Just thinking out loud..
Any ideas?

THanks,

Terrance

Hi all,

I am wondering if somebody can help me out. I currently live in a complex in Northern VA where I have a water heater in my bedroom closet. I am not the most educated on what type of water heater it is, but can this be up to code? I was told by the property staff that it is fine to store things inside of the closet including clothing, etc just do not having anything touch it. I am just worried I am at a risk. Any comments or replies would be greatly appreciated, I can also get you any information from the tank if anyone is curious on the type of tank.

Thanks.

Nicholas, is it electric?

The above is regards to gas.
If electric it may be ok.
