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 residential water heaters of a
capacity greater than 52 gallons or tankless-style,
consult the local building jurisdiction code for
acceptable bracing procedures.
