Installing a 15 gallon Hot Water Heater (Tuggers Vol. 60)

By Lou Steplock, Pet Tug #60

The best thing about tripling the size of the HWH is that we didn't lose any space in the engine room.  Actually we gained space since now I can install a new shelf over the 4D battery that occupies the

 space of the old HWH.  An added bonus is I can fit more easily into the engine room.  We used a cardboard cylinder that we could easily change the circumference to get the maximum size possible.   I lowered the shelf, gaining about 8" (just a guess). So it makes much more efficient use of the space the battery used to take up. (Pardon the hanging preposition).  I also saved the old heater so we can bring it to show and tell and maybe the silent auction.

  1. The bigger the house the water heating problems bigger greater if not controlled with the HVAC system. The article is really on the point. Heating and Cooling Vaughan
