Parts not permanently secured shall be designed so they cannot be incorrectly assembled or improperly located when removed and replaced during cleaning or other servicing. In submitting an appliance for test, the manufacturer may furnish a list of manufacturing tolerances applicable thereto and may have the appliance tested for compliance with this Standard in both extremes of tolerances specified. 4.1.3 The general construction and assembly of the water heater shall be of a neat and workmanlike character with parts well fitted and bolts or other fasteners drawn up tightly to give rigidity.
