Hi guys thanks in advance for looking I am thinking of moving my water heater outside. I would like to replace my old water heater but due to space constraints in its existing location. Installing a larger one there is out of the question. I have considered the need for an enclosure ptobably stick built on a concrete slab (insulated of course ) and the need for a junction box and a service discoonect. My primary concern would be pipes freezing in the winter. The ideal location would require about a 10 - 15 ft run of pipe through the crawl space to the exterior of the home could these pipes just be insulated and be good to go I live in sc where the temps are generally mild but it does occasionally hit the upper teens. Any advice or opinions would be apprecited
Thanks,ac
