Part of the Holdrite Quick Belt product line, this kit uses a strap-and-bracket system to anchor the water heater to a wall, reducing the risk of tipping, displacement, or connection damage during an earthquake. It is compatible with water heaters up to 80 gallons in capacity. Plumbers and mechanical contractors install this hardware as part of code-compliant water heater installations in seismic zones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis restraint kit is suited for residential and light commercial applications where local or state building codes require seismic bracing of water heating equipment. It is commonly installed in garages, utility rooms, and mechanical spaces on new construction and retrofit jobs. Jurisdictions in seismic zones — including much of California and the Pacific Northwest — typically mandate this type of restraint for both tank-style gas and electric water heaters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for water heaters up to 80 gallons capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProvides seismic restraint to reduce tipping and displacement risk\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWall-anchor design suitable for residential and light commercial installs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets requirements for seismic restraint installations in applicable jurisdictions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style seismic restraint solution for tank-style water heaters up to 80 gallons, including both gas and electric residential and light commercial units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or mechanical contractor. Shut off the water supply and power or gas to the water heater before beginning any work on or around the unit. The restraint straps must be anchored to structural wall framing — not drywall alone — in accordance with local building codes and seismic bracing requirements, which may reference IPC or local amendments. Do not over-tighten straps against the water heater tank in a way that could deform the jacket or damage fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Water Heater Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: RWC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: QB-50-F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RWC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51523944055090,"sku":"HOLDRITE50-F","price":25.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/673be6e8a77a2e2ec3f4a9b885bfd8a6.jpg?v=1785444488","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/rwc-qb-50-f-water-heater-seismic-restraint-kit-80-gal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
