How high off the floor?
I have two questions if someone could please answer for me. First a furnace in the garage behind a vented door. How high should it be off of the floor? Same for the water heater sitting next to it. Both fuel sources are gas. Thanks Mike.

Re: How high off the floor?
Michael,
Do you have any pics? Wondering about the vented door comment. Are the furnace and water heater both inside a room that is part of the garage? Is the water heater a FVIR model Ignition sources need to be 18" above the floor Last edited by jmoore5; 6/1/10 at 1:08 AM..

Re: How high off the floor?
The burner, not the bottom of the appliance.
Most furnaces are well above that when sitting on the floor. "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different results." Albert Einstein  David A.
