Furnace ---2.5ft-- Hot Water ---2.5ft-- Dryer


Assuming all code is applied when moving it (e.g dielctric couplers,
gas drip pipe, vent slope/size, etc.), does the location of the hot
water heater to the other gas devices cause an issue? *My assumption
is no because I see many apartment with everything crammed into a
untility closet. *My basement is considerbly larger than a utility
closet.


Thanks for any insight you may have !


As long as you have room to service the furnace it is OK. *Dryer is usually
serviced from the front but a furnace may need a side access. *Check the
installation instructions if you still have them.


Good point. The chimney is actually kitty-corner between the tank and
furnace so there is ample room to service. But definitely a great
point that could have been overlooked.

Thank you to all the responded.
