I'm having an issue with a rental property I've got. I have to install a second water heater strap. The water heater itself is old but still working. It was up to code when I bought the house, but now I have to install another one to code. I'm looking at HD and Lowe's and they've got various ones. Most are listed as up to 80 gallons, but I'm not sure if they'll work with a 40 gallon tank.
Ideally I would just get a single strap, but they now seem to come in pairs. Is this something I could do myself? I'm not even sure what the setup was like before. I vaguely remember it's tapping into wood. I don't have a drill (for bolts), but I could manage a self tapping screw.
