I understand ther is a gas hot water tank that can be placed on a concrete slab in the garage, rather than being raised 18" I have been rceiving conflicting information

I think if it has a sealed combustion chamber it may be allowed.

Here’s a good link on the new gas fired water heaters from AGA.

The new design changes became effective July 1, 2004 with the allowing of all old stock being sold by the distributors. Watch for local code changes and check with your local AHJ to see if being accepted, they still may require the elevated platform.

Word has it from several plumbers in this region, watch for changing regs in the near future, with such items as seperate exterior make up air being brought into the dwelling similar to high eff. furnaces and other safety changes

Welcome to NACHI George. I look forward to working in the same area as you and have heard lots of good things about you from various people. Good, respected competition is always a pleasure to be around. I just checked with Fergusons and was told what I thought. THEORETICALLY they don’t need stands but until code catches up…I would call Richard Harmon and check with him at Columbia County.

Nothing that says they cannot be tied together into a common flue. I see this all the time.

Can you tie them together if one is gas the other is oil? and if they were the same flue i thought the hw heater should be tied into the chimney directly and above the boiler connection…

Is the boiler being used as the homes heating source? They may be using the HW heater perdominantly in the summer months to cut down on fuel oil costs, and in the winter as a way to have hot water ready for those AM showers.
