chipmunk. It is not mandatory, however when transporting a hws on its side the anode will flop about within the cylinder & chip the vitreous enamel, the anode can also break off at the thread, thereby rendering it useless.
Your warrany will be shot & you will become impotent.
If you have to transport the HWS in the horizontal position – remove the Anode & replace it when you get there.
