Earthquake Straps

The Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC), section 510.5 says "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 of four (4) inches (102mm) shall be maintained above the controls with the strapping."

All of the areas in Southern California we work in are in seismic zones 3 and 4. At 1-800-Anytyme, we use only the best earthquake strapping kits available. They conform to the strict California standards (previous methods of earthquake strapping are no longer accepted in California, you must use an approved strap kit). The kits we will insall will be the last earthquake straps you will ever need. Earthquake strapping is a very important part of your water heater installation. We're ready to install your earthquake straps today!
