The Plumber's Choice 55 Gal. Seismic Water Heater Restraining Strap in Galvanized Steel

Prepare and prevent: an operating water heater which falls off its place can cause extreme injury, burns and gas explosion. It kills people and burns down homes. Protect yourself and your family. Secure your water heater to the wall by mounting 2 Restraining Straps tightly around the top and bottom of the heater. According to the Residential Building Code, water heater anchors are required for seismic locations. But since water heaters may move out of place due to various reasons other than earthquakes, we do recommend this extra security protection to all water heater owners across the globe.
