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.
