I’ve seen some laughable attempts at seismic strapping for water heaters. Usually a piece of plumbers tape and a drywall screw or two. Today’s took the cake…

It had two straps...the one to the left (not in photo) was dangling in mid-air, attached to nothing, but they managed to hose-clip the remaining one to the GAS PIPE!!! Kind of defeats the purpose somewhat.  (And yes, I know about the transparent TPR discharge line)
I'm sure there are some other "doozies" out there. Anyone else left of the Rockies want to share?
