Default Two water heaters (A Touching Story)

I am wondering if there is anything wrong with two water heaters touching ,though I am recommending drain pans as a side note.?

Seems that though there is a floor drain in front of them the floor slants towards the bedroom door in back of them.

Generally, it's not a problem. The clearance requirements are listed right on the units. Usually it's 0" sides and back.

Thanks
Guess the only problem is finding room for the drain pans.

I would not normally think any thing of it either However for the sake of this discussion, with the combustion draw at the bottom of the water heaters, I wonder if that may cause some issues.
