Tight-Space Water Heater Replacement

project details

Project Description

This sequence documents an older narrow tank with corrosion near the top, measurement of the available opening, and placement of a new Rheem Performance tank water heater in the same constrained area.

The Challenge

The key challenge was the limited clearance. The water heater replacement needed to fit the measured space while leaving reasonable access to the controls and service connections after the older tank was removed.

Project Note: The images show the old equipment, space measurement, and installed replacement. No address, inspection result, or performance claim is inferred from the photographs.
