Water heater replacement [on demand (Girard)]
Anyone replace the water heater in a sportscoach (DP ). Can't see hookups anywhere!!! No water/gas. Looks like it is installed in a metal box!.thanks

You can normally only see the outside section of the water heater. The back of it will be inside a cabinet. It will usually be sealed or have a partition so you won't be able to see it. The back is also where all the connections are routed.

When you remove the heater I think you'll find the connections at the back coming through the wall.

Access to ours is through the pass through. I have to remove a panel on the back wall of the pass through to get to the side of the Girard WH.

I have a Girard tankless water heater too. What happened to yours that makes you want to replace it?
