Can you install a SW6D water heater instead if SW6D-E?

I need to remove my SW6D-E water heater due to a leaking tank. I have access to a one year old SW6D (no electric) water heater for $100. A friend of a friend deal. Can I install the non-electric heate...

If it is physically the same dimensions (H x W x D) then it should fit without any needs to modify the opening.

May or may not need to modify the plumbing depending on if they changed locations of the connections between the two but even that is pretty easy to fix.

Get the dimensions and check those against what you have..

$100 deal, I would jump on that if I had that chance, although I am used to manual pilot light water heaters, they don't bother me.
