Sure, as long as you comply with securing and supporting (330.30), and it is not subject to physical damage (330.12(1)).

For safety it should be feed through GFCI receptacles. as i know the water heater is consider as class A devices. Right!

A
gfci receptacle is 120v while most water heaters are 240V
Where did a receptacle sneak in. There are GFCI 120 and 240 volt breakers.

Only place a GFCI would be required is if the water heater were cord and plug connected, on a 15/20 amp receptacle, and in a location mentioned in 210.8. Most typical application where you might find this would be a gas water heater with electronic controls and/or a draft motor, or maybe some insta-hot heaters.

Perhaps Abdel is thinking of an insta-hot point of use water heater.
Somewhat off topic: didn't I see somewhere that all receptacles in a commercial kitchen 100A and lower need to be GFIC protected in the 2017 code??
