DHW Coil Placement in Pocono

Quick question - saw a post in the archive that a DHW coil in a Leisure Line Pocono should be 6-8" above the fire.

Does anyone know at what height Jerry (LL) drills the coil holes at the factory? That will ease my guessing. THanks.

Not sure about a factory install, but this is my install in a Pocono

Yes, 6" to 8" is fine.

Thanks.

Jerry, is that 6-8 above the typical flame or the coal bed? Would you expect similiar effectiveness if it was plumbed vertically like in TdiDave's pics above?
