I haven't looked into the possibilities or clearances of doing this but i wonder if it's possible. I think my cabin has enough combustion intake air for the few short minutes per day to spray and rinse dirty dishes but i am seeking info to see if these systems can be mounted in a cabinet under a kitchen counter.

There is a lot of heat in the exhaust even tho they can be efficient. I would not want to trap that under a counter. Personally I would not want the exhaust gases in the cabin at all; for my own breathing. The burner also consumes air, O2 specifically. Codes limit the use of a non vented water heater for safety reasons.

Having not used hot water in dish washing or clothing for over 10 years now, cold water, a good scrub pad and Dawn detergent have done the job with no worries and no water spots for doing the dishes and Cold Water ALL is a good detergent for clothing.

Yes of course it would vented to the outside. I don't own one to know if it can fit under a counter yet. I will try to look up manufacturer info but I'm wondering if anyone has done this. Thx in advance

We installed this one in our cabin and has worked flawless pipe in right over the toilet.
