That would not allow the T&P drain to be readily observable by the building occupants orThen they have to drill a 1/4 in hole in the heel of 90 that is in the crawl space, that acts like a vent and a drain so it will not freez if the t&p spits or opens up just a little. It works every time with no problems yet
Yes, a water heater is allowed, by code, to be installed in an underfloor area.The question of the year is:Can you install a water heater in a below grade crawlspace and meet all of the code requirements?
M2005.2.1 Water heater access. Access to water heaters that are located in an attic or underfloor crawl space is permitted to be through a closet located in a sleeping room or bathroom where ventilation of those spaces is in accordance with this code.
