Installing a 40-gallon electric water heater in my smallish (624 sq' ft') Northern Michigan lake side cottage.
Space is limited and I wish to build an three sided alcove for the heater in the bathroom.
What are the side and back wall clearance recommendations, and hazards for a (near) zero clearance.
Also, is a 30-amp breaker sufficient for a 4500 watt unit, and is a 30-amp switch near the heater also sized correctly and a good idea.
Thanks.
