Rwc 40-S-22-U Water Heater Stand 22x22 in 52 Gal

Product Description

The RWC 40-S-22-U is an unassembled water heater stand designed to elevate residential water heaters off the floor in compliance with code requirements for gas-fired water heater installations in garages and similar spaces. Built from cold rolled steel, this stand measures 22 inches long by 22 inches wide and provides a sturdy, stable base. It ships unassembled, allowing the installer to configure and position it on-site before setting the unit. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary trade professionals who specify and install this type of stand during new installations or equipment replacements.

This stand is sized for use with 52-gallon water heaters. It is suited for residential applications where local mechanical codes require water heaters to be raised above the floor level, particularly in garages where ignition source elevation is mandated by the International Fuel Gas Code. The unassembled format makes transport and job-site staging straightforward, especially in tight mechanical rooms or utility closets where a pre-assembled stand would be difficult to maneuver.

• Cold rolled steel construction provides structural rigidity for water heater support
• 22-inch by 22-inch footprint sized for 52-gallon water heater bases

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off the gas supply and water supply to the existing water heater before beginning any stand installation or equipment swap. Verify that the assembled stand height meets local code requirements for ignition source elevation, as specified by the IFGC or applicable state and municipal amendments. Ensure the stand is fully assembled and level on a solid floor surface before setting the water heater onto it.
