Is that safe to position the AGA 90G at this location?

It is not an I beam, it is an thick wood beam (I think 4x6). The house is 63 years old.

it wont be a problem its still a supporting beam.

What if the tank went thru the floor and cut the tank in half, who shall I blame? Ha ha.

I'll position the tank there. Thanks for your help.

It would be more safe if you put it in a corner, but I use to live in a 108 years old house and the beams at that time were very strong supportive. So I wouldn't really worry about it.
