To install water heater on carpeting, you must install appliance on a metal or wood panel that extends at least three inches beyond the full width and depth of appliance. 3. If the appliance is installed where connection or tank leakage will damage adjacent area, install a drain pan (which can be drained to out side of coach) under water heater.
