FOR INSTALLATIONS IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

California Law requires that residential water heaters must be braced, anchored or strapped to resist falling

or horizontal displacement due to earthquake motions. For residential water heaters up to 52 gallon ca-

pacity, 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 heaters of capacity greater than 52 gallons, consult the local building jurisdiction for acceptable brac-

ing installations)

The installation instructions in the Use & Care Manual supplied with the water heater

should be followed in addition to the following Supplemental Instructions.

For increased energy efficiency, certain water heater models covered by this Use & Care Manual have been

supplied with two (2) 24" sections of pipe insulation. Should the model being employed in your particular

installation include the pipe insulation, please install the insulation as shown below for the type of installation

configuration that best matches yours.
