2. Where to install my water heater?

2.1 Precautions

• Choose a place of installation whose temperature is always between 4°C and 35°C.
• The water heater must be positioned as close as possible to the major draw-off points (bathroom,
kitchen, etc.)
• If it is positioned outside the living area (cellar, garage), the pipes and the safety units (safety unit,
pressure limiter) must be insulated.
• Make provision in the room for ventilation to prevent condensation and corrosion of the water
heater paint.
• Ensure that the supporting element (wall or ceiling) is sufficiently resistant to accommodate
the weight of the water heater full of water (see table p. 37).
• Make provision for a space of 40 cm for the periodic maintenance of the heater element.
• In the case of installation above living rooms (suspended ceilings,
attics, etc.), it is ESSENTIAL to make provision for a water collection
tank connected to the drain under the water heater (shower type
tank for example).

2.2 Specific installation in the bathroom

• Installation outside these areas (NF C 15-100 or standards in force in the country).
