How much space do I need above the water heater to hook up the water lines? I only have 5' 7" to the bottom of my ceiling joists in my basement.

The connections are threaded. You should be able to elbow the piping over and even down, doing your valves on the horizontal or in other space you create by laying out the piping to do so.

The fittings on top of the water heater are 61" from the floor - leaving you 6" to put in an elbow for a horizontal run to connect it. Put your unions/isolation valves on the horizontal run and you should be fine, if a little tight.

I built a sturdy shelf five feet off the basement floor so that my dehumidfier could drain outside without the need for a pump. You will need to build raised edges on the shelf so that the dehumidifier can't vibrate itself off the shelf.

Ron - I don't know about the 7-foot rise, but the Friedrich folks have been pretty helpful with questions. I have mine installed on a plywood platform over a basement deep sink, with the hose simply going down into the sink. The unit has worked very well. Chuck

i would say it isabout 6 to 8 inches above the floor, and in the way of the water line! i did not use the bottom board and it is no problem. if you read the reviews, you will find that a large amount of people say the same thing about the water line being in the way... it has not been a problem for me though

You should have enough space. This unit is not big. I have a newer double sink that is very deep. This means I have even less space below the sink. I have a reverse osmosis unit a garbage disposal unit and this water heater. I had to move things around to get them to fit properly. Still a little loose.

I hope I understand your question correctly. At 5 feet above the water surface, these pumps experience a reduction in flow of about 50%. Example a pump rated at 700gph actually has a flow of 400gph at 5 feet above waterline. To visualize the flow, imagine your garden hose pointed upward with the valve about 1/3 open... at 400gph the stream of water would rise about 6 inches before topping out. If that is enough water then a 700gph pump is enough. If you buy a 950gph or 1200gph you can restrict the outflow with a plastic valve from your hardware store if it is too much. If you already have the fountain, try connecting your garden hose and adjust the tap to the ideal flow rate. Then disconnect the hose while leaving the water running and then let the water run into a pail for 1 minute. Then measure the water that has ran into the pail and multiply by 60 to get gph. Then take that total and multiply by 1.75 and also by 2. The two calculated numbers will give you an idea of the minimum sized pump and the maximum sized pump you will need.

7 inches is what our faucet measures at its highest point.....hope that helps.

I have 7'5" of ceiling height in my basement and it just fits, but we had to modify how we assembled the top of the rack. It just needed to be stood up before the top bar (angled with pull-up bar attached) was installed. We even installed the optional lat pull-down attachment and it all fits nicely in the basement. One note would be that you need about another 8-10" (about 8'+) for pull-ups. We were able to position the rack so that we do pull-ups with our heads between the floor joists, giving us an extra 10" of clearance. It's a great set-up for a home gym.

You'll have plenty of room with 56". I'm only 63" tall and I never have to lift them filters that high. I actually went out and measured. It looks like if you took off the top and pulled them straight out, it would be about 43". However, you have to determine if the filter case will sit on the floor of your basement. If it sits up some to meet the existing pipes, you have to take that into consideration. Mine sits about 6" off the floor and I still could change the filters with 56" or clearance. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Depending on how high you suck out the water, but should be powerful enough fron a regular basement to the outside. It does not matter how far the distance. Remember what matters is HOW HIGH not how far.

I would suggest 3 ft.at a min. Mine are in a basement room with exposed floor joists. I mounted pretty close to the middle of that area to afford room for any and all uses.

I guess in my tub area, tub top to ceiling approx 7 feet, but there was an extention that I did not use about 16 inches

If placed vertically, two inches will be enough. The instruction says only the bottom of the heater has to be submerged. If you lay it down, or maintain a diagonal position, then the required depth will be even smaller, but you will need a horizontal space to accommodate the length of the heater.

Yo David, go to the specifications, listed below your picture. They will give you width, height, length, weight and all other technical information. The unit, you are looking at has a vertical rise of 7-8 feet. Your county code will dictate the depth of your water pipe, 3 feet recommended. If your structure is elevated be sure to add the additional height. Don't. exceed the capacity of the pump, good luck--Jorden

The unit is 22" long. You install it at the height you want. It is top fed, meaning the hot and cold water feed come down from above.

The flow from my sink is pretty restricted, but the water is hot. It might work, but to be on the safe side, I'd go up the next bigger heater, assuming that you have access to the right amount of power.
