Anybody hung a furnace in their garage?
I ask because Ive come across this thing where you're supposed to have 8ft minimum from the floor to the bottom of the furnace. My ceilings are about 8ft so I would not meet that 8ft minimum. I don't have access to Plumbing and Gas code and my inquiry to the City was useless. I have heard this 8ft thing elsewhere, but its also in the installation instructions for the furnace.
I'm wondering if its part of code because of chemical settling or something or maybe vehicle height. But then those seem more related to commercial parking garages and mechanic shops rather than a run of the mill residential garage.
Thanks.
