Rwc QS-50-P Water Heater Seismic Restraint Up to 80 Gal

Product Description

The RWC QS-50-P is a water heater seismic restraint strap designed to secure tank-style water heaters in place during seismic events. Constructed from polybutylene material, this restraint system helps prevent tip-over and displacement of water heaters up to 80 gallons. It is installed by licensed plumbers in residential and light commercial settings where local code requires seismic bracing for water heating equipment. The QS-50-P is part of the Holdrite Quick STRAP product line, engineered to meet the demand for compliant, efficient seismic restraint installation.

This restraint is appropriate for tank-style water heaters in seismic zones where local plumbing or building codes mandate approved anchoring systems. It is commonly installed in garages, utility rooms, and mechanical spaces in both new construction and retrofit applications. The polybutylene construction resists corrosion, making it a practical choice in environments subject to moisture. Plumbers and mechanical contractors installing water heaters in California and other seismic-active regions will find this strap meets the practical needs of code-compliant installs.
