New Fast Assemble Water Heater Stand from Basset
Wednesday, March 18th, 2009WHS-1FA, Fast Assemble Water Heater Stand
Patent pending design offers a unique ‘slip tab’ interlocking system that quickly secures the water heater stand legs and cross braces. Because of this unique interlocking system, nearly all assembly hardware is eliminated, resulting in a reduction of assembly time by over 80% to less than 3 minutes.
Since the ‘Fast Assemble’ water heater stand is shipped unassembled from the factory in protective corrugated ‘pizza box’ style packaging, potential damage to the water heater stand during transit to the wholesaler or jobsite is virtually eliminated. Plus, there is no need for the contractor to lug around a pre-assembled stand, just simply snap the Basset ‘Fast Assemble’ water heater stand together at the jobsite and complete the installation.
The new ‘Fast Assemble’ stand incorporates all physical specifications found in current Basset models, which includes durable 18 ga. galvanized steel construction, 650 lb. safe load rating for water heaters up to 50 gallons and cross-braced leg supports to prevent stand tipping. Water heater is raised 18” off the floor as required by National Fuel Gas Code and Uniform Plumbing Code.
