Where the 30 gallon waters heaters are specified, larger water heaters are acceptable, as long as it is accessible for maintenance and does not hinder ingress/egress to the mechanical chase.

A larger water heater is acceptable as long as it is accessible for maintenance and does not hinder ingress/egress to the mechanical chase or restroom area.
