ABSTRACT:
A water heater restraint has brackets and a buckle to allow a flexible strap to hold a water heater to a support. The bracket has two slots separated by a bar with one end of the strap threaded through the slots to form a loop encircling the bar so that friction or stitching holds the loop from unthreading. A buckle has two similar slots separated by a bar all located on a spring tang with access occurring through a slot in a base plate, so that when the bar is moved toward the base plate the strap is bound between the base plate and the spring tang to restrain motion of the strap. A projection on either the spring tang or on a sidewall extension of the base plate provides a releasable locking mechanism to lock the spring tang in position and lock the strap against movement.
