California Law requires that residential water heaters must be braced, anchored or strapped to resist falling or hori-
zontal displacement due to earthquake motions. For residential water heaters up to 52 gallon capacity, a brochure
with generic earthquake bracing instructions can be obtained from:
or, ask a water heater dealer. However, applicable Local Codes shall govern installations. (For residential water heat-
ers of capacity greater than 52 gallons, consult the local building jurisdiction for acceptable bracing installations)
