Had a 50 inch water heater — replacing it with a 59 1/4 inch one

Had a 50 inch water heater — replacing it with a 59 1/4 inch one.

Will there be any problems because of height difference? Does the height difference cause any problems with installation?

    Wouldn't you be in a much better position to answer that than us?

    Anthony,
    Water heaters are installed in many different places. I've seen them in crawl spaces, closets, and the tiny triangular attics behind kneewalls. Your question is best answered on site, with a tape measure.

    You could try posting a picture of the installation and you might find people here willing to guess from the picture.
