California Law requires that water heaters must be braced, anchored or strapped to
resist falling or horizontal displacement due to earthquake motions. For water heaters
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 water heater dealer.
However, applicable local codes shall govern installation. For water heaters
of a capacity greater than 52 gallons, consult the local building jurisdiction for acceptable
bracing procedures.
