Protect your home and your water heater with this heavy-duty Everflow stand. It's not just a convenience; in many places, it's actually a building code requirement to have your water heater elevated off the floor. Why? Two big reasons: to protect your home from potential flood damage if the heater leaks, and to make draining and servicing the heater way easier.
This stand is a beast. It's made from 18-gauge galvanized steel, so it's rust-resistant and super strong. It can support water heaters weighing up to 650 pounds (that's about a 52-gallon tank, so it handles most residential units). The platform measures 24 by 18 inches, giving your heater a stable, level base.
The best part is the height – it raises your heater a full 18 inches off the ground. No more crawling on the floor with a bucket to drain the sediment! The kit even includes seismic clips for securing the heater to the stand (especially important in earthquake-prone areas), helping to prevent tipping.
While it's designed for water heaters, its sturdy construction also makes it handy as a stand for other heavy appliances like a small refrigerator, a wine cooler, or a microwave. It's a simple, affordable piece of preventative maintenance that can save you thousands in water damage. A must-have for any utility room, garage, or basement.
