Rwc QS-120 Water Heater Body Strap 120 Gallon

Product Description

The RWC QS-120 is a water heater body strap from the Holdrite Quick STRAP line, designed to secure water heaters in place as required by seismic restraint and plumbing codes. The strap wraps around the body of the water heater and anchors it to a wall or structural framing to prevent displacement during seismic events. It is rated for use with water heaters up to 120 gallons, covering the full range of residential and light commercial tank sizes. Plumbers and mechanical contractors install this hardware during new water heater installations or as a retrofit on existing equipment.

The QS-120 is suited for residential and light commercial applications where code requires seismic restraint of water heating equipment. It accommodates large-capacity water heaters up to 120 gallons, making it appropriate for high-demand residential installations, small commercial facilities, or multi-family properties. The Quick STRAP design is intended to simplify field installation without requiring custom fabrication of strapping hardware.
