I will hang a removable panel in front of the water heater with a vent at the bottom for combustion. <br /><br />2. A permanent panel on the non combustion side of the gas furnace.<br /><br />3. A removable panel with vent on the combustion side of the gas furnace. <br /><br />Are 1,2,and 3 legal and meet code? Or will I have to fashion panels out of gypsum? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>NorCalRydaz</b> <br /><small>Member # 3233</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2015,0,14,18,13,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Are you going to wrap your water heater? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>stanger00</b> <br /><small>Member # 13818</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2015,0,14,18,24,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> No, was just going to leave it as is.<br /><br />Also, I want this to be safe too not just to be compliant.
