To be on the safe side, don't do it. After all, the water heater burns natural gas and will have an open flame. If the cover is on, there will be a safety hazard. Safety first
When a gas water heater is used, it needs air to enter to support combustion. (It is not possible to cover the seal).
The water heater itself has a grounding wire, make sure that your power socket uses 3 flat jacks to reliably ground.
Buying a circulation device can solve this problem, there are ready-made products to buy, and it is good to connect directly to the inlet and outlet of the water heater.
This is not recommended for the following reasons:
1. The temperature of hot water is as high as 60-90 degrees, no matter what kind of pipe, it is easy to age, and it will rot in the wall when the time comes, which will lead to problems such as tile leakage and wall water seepage, and the consequences are relatively serious. >>>More
OK. Replace the inlet and outlet valves under the water heater with a straight-through ball valve. Increase the flow of water. >>>More
