Re: Gas Water Heater Garage Closet
Stuart,

One thing you did not define (or I missed it).

The room the water heater is in, is its floor raised or at garage level?

If the floor is at garage level, the water heater will need to be raised.

If the floor is raised, it 'might' be okay, depending on 'how high' the floor is raised - the ignition source (lowest flame or spark) needs to be 18" above the 'garage floor', so it might be okay if there is a 9" step and the burner is 9" above the raised floor (both unlikely).
