motions.  For  residential  storage  tanks  up  to  52  gallon  capacity,  a  brochure  with  generic  
earthquake  bracing  instructions  can  be  obtained  from:  Office  of  the  State  Architect,  
1102  Q  Street,  Suite  5100,  Sacramento,  CA  95814  or  you  may  call  916-­445-­8100  or  ask  a  
storage  tank  dealer.  

However,  applicable  local  codes  shall  govern  installation.  For  residential  storage  tanks    
of  a  capacity  greater  than  52  gallons,  consult  the  local  building  jurisdiction  for  acceptable  
bracing  procedures.
