No. Not directly.
It needs to be 18 inches away... in length, not distance according to the UPC. An 18 inch water heater flex would work or 18 inches of copper tube with a pex adapter on the end will work.

Can you connect pex to an electric water heater?
Yes, usually I like to start it with some copper (8 inches) and then attach pex adapters. You can run it directly to it, but it's awkward you're crimping on pex to brass fittings on the tank, it's hard to crimp. If you can manage it, there's nothing wrong with it. It's easier to add a copper nipple first.

Is it okay to use three-eighths PEX pipe for a tankless water heater manifold system?
It depends on the length of the run. 3/8 pipe tends to be a little small and will restrict the flow. Use the 1/2 if you can. It's not that much extra but it will give you much better water delivery. Of course, between the manifold and the water heater, use 3/4 inch or larger copper. ___________________ I would have to agree with the previous contributor. 1/2" PEX is indeed the preferred size for running the water to the plumbing fixtures.
