American Water 100323288 30 Gal Short Natural Gas Water Heater

Product Description

The AMERICAN WATER 100323288 is a 30-gallon short natural gas water heater designed for residential plumbing systems where vertical clearance is limited. Measuring 19.75 inches in diameter and 49.25 inches in height, this unit fits in tighter mechanical spaces than standard-height tanks of the same capacity. At 108 pounds, it is a substantial unit that requires proper staging and lifting during installation. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors install this type of equipment as part of new construction or direct replacement projects in residential and light commercial applications.

This water heater is suited for residential installations where natural gas service is available and a compact footprint is required. The short-profile design makes it a practical choice for installations in crawl spaces, low-clearance utility closets, or any space where a full-height 30-gallon tank would not fit. It is categorized under gas plumbing equipment and is intended for connection to a natural gas supply line with proper venting as required by local codes.

Key Features

• 30-gallon capacity in a short-profile tank for space-constrained installations

• Compact footprint: 19.75 inches diameter x 49.25 inches height

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation natural gas water heater for residential plumbing systems requiring a short 30-gallon gas-fired tank.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes, the International Plumbing Code (IPC), and the appliance manufacturer instructions. Shut off the gas supply and cold water inlet before disconnecting any existing unit. Proper venting to the exterior is required for natural gas water heaters and must comply with local mechanical and gas codes. Do not operate the unit before all gas, water, and vent connections have been inspected and confirmed leak-free.
