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 capacity, a brochure with generic earthquake bracing instructions can
be obtained from: Office of the State Architect, 400 P Street, Sacramento, CA 95814 or you
may call 916-445-8100 or ask a water heater dealer.
However, applicable local codes shall govern installation. For residential water heaters
of a capacity greater than 52 gallons, consult the local building jurisdiction for acceptable
bracing procedures.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION
CAREFULLY.
