Protection From Damage
1. All water heaters installed in areas where they may be subjected to
mechanical damage shall be suitably guarded against such damage
by being installed behind adequate barriers or by being elevated or
located out of the normal path of a vehicle using any such garage.
2. In seismic zones 3 and 4, water heaters shall be anchored or
strapped to resist horizontal displacement due to earthquake
motion. Strapping shall be at points within the upper one-third (1/3)
and lower one-third (1/3) of its vertical dimensions. At the lower
point, a minimum distance of four (4) inches (102 mm) shall be
maintained above the controls with the strapping.
3. An water heater supported from the ground shall rest on level
concrete or other approved base extending not less than three (3)
inches (76 mm) above the adjoining ground level.
4. When a water heater is located where damage may result from a
leaking water heater, a watertight pan of corrosion resistant materials
shall be installed beneath the water heater with a minimum three-
quarter (3/4) inch (20 mm) diameter drain to an approved location.
