This could be your chance to reposition the heater to give a shorter run to the most used outlets in your home. There are other factors to consider when looking for a place to put the heater. △ ▽ shekar • Reply • Share › • 8 years ago Thanks for providing the relevant standards applicable for design on pipe and its components.
