City of The Colony TX water heater requirements

Category: The Colony TX

Effective September 2007, the Texas State Legislature enacted into the Plumbing License Law additional wording to specifically include water heaters in their list of plumbing fixtures, required by law, to have a plumbing permit issued prior to installation. In addition, the law provides that such installations be done according to current codes by a The Colony TX licensed master plumber and inspected by a licensed plumbing inspector.

The Colony Texas Water Heater Installation Requirements:

All water heater installations require permits. Plumbing contractor must be registered with the City of The Colony. Installation of water heaters shall be installed in accordance with Chapter 20, 24 and 28 of the 2006 International Codes.

1. Water heater shall be located and connected so as to provide easy access for observation, maintenance, servicing and replacement.

2. Water heaters shall not be installed in a room used for storage.

3. Gas-fired water heaters located in a bedroom or bathroom shall be installed in a sealed enclosure so that combustion air will not be taken from the living space.
