Holdrite 40-SWHP-A Suspended Water Heater Platform 21 in

Product Description

The HOLDRITE 40-SWHP-A is a pre-assembled suspended water heater platform with an integrated drain pan, designed to support water heaters in overhead or elevated installations. It holds water heaters up to 20 gallons with a maximum total load capacity of 375 pounds. The platform measures 21 inches in diameter and arrives fully assembled, reducing job-site labor and setup time. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors install this unit in residential and light commercial applications where floor space is limited and the water heater must be suspended from overhead structure using all-thread rod.

This platform is suited for installations where the water heater is mounted off the floor, such as in utility closets, attic spaces, or mechanical rooms with overhead framing. The assembled configuration means no field fabrication is required before hanging. The built-in drain pan handles condensate or minor leakage without a separate pan installation, making it a practical single-component solution for tight-schedule rough-in work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or mechanical contractor in accordance with local plumbing codes and the water heater manufacturer's installation instructions. Shut off the water supply and disconnect power or gas to the water heater before any work begins. The platform is suspended using all-thread rod anchored to structural overhead framing — verify that the framing members are rated to carry the full suspended load of 375 pounds. Confirm local code requirements for drain pan discharge piping before completing the installation.
