shed for water heater?
Hello: Meccle2
A non metal water heater enclosure is designed for that specific purpose. Normally operating water heaters do not produce near enough radiant heat to be of any concern.
The tanks are well insulated to protect against heat loss. If they where not insulated the heat loss would cause the burner to never turn off and the amount of hot water available to be very limited.
The air space around the enclosure is also determined to be correct for the tank size it covers. As well as the vents built into the enclosure, etc. Which is exactly why installing a pre-made water heater cover enclosure, installed per instructions meets all the codes and works correctly as designed.
No known logical reason why condensation should be of any concerns. Not enough heat inside the shed to create moisture or condensation. Sounds like a sales pitch from those whom do not know or care to learn. They just sell.
Several important installation considerations to meet.
Install the tank level on a cement pad, if possible. Pre made pads are also available but must be level. Install the flue venting system to code.
Be sure the downdraft divertor is crrectly placed on the tank and venting pipe inside the shed is installed per instruction. Also the exterior venting flue pipe is secured and above the roof line. Vent pipe has a proper vent cap installed correctly and all exactly to local code.
Be surprised how many tank installations are not installed correctly. Most commonly the venting systems and more likely the vent cap on the flue pipe. Usually vent cap found smashed so far down onto the flue pipe it blocks the entire system, causing flue exhaust and gases to spill out of the divertor.
Second most common incorrect installation is a flue pipe not extended above the roof line or not far enough above roofline to provide proper drafting, etc.
Third most commonly found incorrect installation, usually after a tank replacement, incorrectly installed or missing downdfrat divertor. A must have part, installed correctly, to insure proper operation and venting.
