An enclosure for a water heating system for a service selected from the group consisting of receiving water through a water inlet port, recirculating water through a recirculation port, outputting a heated water supply through a water outlet port, receiving a gas supply through a gas inlet port, receiving an air supply through an air inlet port and a combustion exhaust through an exhaust port, the enclosure including a wall through which at least one of the water inlet port, the recirculation port, the water outlet port, the gas inlet port, the air inlet port and the exhaust port is disposed, the wall is configured to be removable for access to equipment disposed inside the enclosure, the equipment is connected to the at least one of the water inlet port, the recirculation port, the water outlet port, the gas inlet port, the air inlet port and the exhaust port.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed herein is: 1. An enclosure for a heating system for a service selected from the group consisting of receiving water through a water inlet port and recirculating water through a recirculation port, said enclosure comprising a wall through which at least one of the water inlet port and the water recirculation port is disposed, said wall is configured to be removable for access to a heat exchanger disposed inside said enclosure, wherein the area around the service is accessible when said wall is removed without requiring the removal of a connection to at least one of the water inlet port and the water recirculation port and without requiring the removal of a protective plate to the heat exchanger and the heat exchanger is connected to at least one of the water inlet port and the water recirculation port, said wall is disposed on a front surface of said enclosure and said wall comprises at least one hinged door configured to be openable while the service is in use and said at least one hinged door is the only barrier separating an environment outside of said enclosure and an environment inside of said enclosure at said at least one hinged door. 2. An enclosure for a heating system for a service selected from the group consisting of receiving water through a water inlet port and recirculating water through a recirculation port, said enclosure comprising a wall through which at least one of the water inlet port and the water recirculation port is disposed, said wall is configured to be removable for access to a heat exchanger disposed inside said enclosure, wherein the area around the service is accessible when said wall is removed without requiring the removal of a connection to at least one of the water inlet port and the water recirculation port and without requiring the removal of a protective plate to the heat exchanger and the heat exchanger is connected to at least one of the water inlet port and the water recirculation port, said wall is disposed on a front surface of said enclosure, wherein said wall comprises at least one sliding door, said at least one sliding door comprising a plurality of tracks and a door configured to be functionally coupled to said plurality of tracks and said door remains coupled to said plurality of tracks when said at least one sliding door is disposed in an open position to allow access to equipment disposed inside said enclosure and said at least one sliding door is the only barrier separating an environment outside of said enclosure and an environment inside of said enclosure at said at least one sliding door.
