Sounds fine in principle to me, but there might be other issues (eg
proximity to a boundary). And where does your pressure relief drain go?
That might be an issue 8' above the pavement!

Thanks for the tips. Good point about the pressure relief drain. I
could route that into a nearby bathroom sink waste pipe. Would that
breach any building regs or otherwise pose any problems?

Pretty sure that's not allowed - again the installation instructions
should specify. For a start, I think the point of discharge must be
clearly visible, so if a dangerous fault condition develops it doesn't
go undetected.
