Re: Earthquake strap all water heaters?
Every jurisdiction in CA that I know of has long ago adopted the DSA protocol for approved seismic strappinng of water heaters, which in my opinion is bogus to say the least. Their web site shows a photo of what they claim is a classicically strapped water heater, which ain't plus a couple of other obvious CA code defects.

DSA - Department of the State Architect Hmmmmmmm ?
