Rwc 40-S-30-U Water Heater Stand 30x30x16 120 Gal

Product Description

The RWC 40-S-30-U is an unassembled water heater stand designed to elevate and support residential domestic water heaters. Built to handle water heaters up to 100 to 120 gallons and rated for loads up to 1350 pounds, this stand provides a stable platform in utility rooms, garages, and mechanical spaces. The stand ships unassembled, keeping packaging compact and allowing the installer to assemble on-site before positioning the unit. It measures 30 inches long by 30 inches wide by 16 inches tall, placing the water heater at a working height that also satisfies ignition source elevation requirements commonly enforced in residential installations.

The 40-S-30-U is suited for residential applications where large-capacity storage water heaters are installed. The 16-inch platform height meets the elevation requirement for gas-fired water heaters installed in garages, where the ignition source must be raised above the floor to reduce ignition risk from flammable vapors. This stand is appropriate for use with tank-style domestic water heaters up to 120 gallons and 1350 pounds in single-family homes, light commercial settings, and multifamily utility closets where floor-level installation is not permitted.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply and gas or electrical service to the water heater before repositioning or replacing the unit onto the stand. Verify local code requirements for stand height and structural support, as the IFGC and local amendments may specify minimum ignition source elevation in garages. Assemble the stand fully and confirm it is level before loading the water heater onto the platform.
