The present disclosure provides a hot water storage tank support system and a water heater pan. In one implementation, the hot water tank support system comprises a water heat pan having a bottom wall, an outer wall extending upwardly from and substantially surrounding the bottom wall, and at least one elevated support feature, and at least one substantially rigid supplemental support component. The at least one elevated support feature is configured to support the hot water storage tank, and the at least one elevated support feature includes at least one supplemental support cavity configured to receive the at least one supplemental support component. In some implementations, the supplemental support component(s) may be insertable and removable from the water heater pan.

A linear fireplace system, assemblies, modular units, and related methods that can be installed in a modular fashion at a selected installation location so as to avoid drawbacks experienced in the prior art. The system can include modular linear units, corner units, and/or end units interconnectable to form a modular linear fireplace assembly. The system can include an alignment track system with a track member that receives alignment rails on the bottom of the modular units to axially align the interconnected units. The system can include a combustion air flow passage within the fireplace that maintains a relatively low exterior temperature of the assembly and that allows combustible and non-combustible building materials to be installed against or immediately adjacent to the top and base portions of the modular units of the assembly.

The present disclosure provides an outdoor support-type water heater, including a gas water heater main body and a water-heater bracket. By arranging at the bottom of the gas water heater main body a bracket which includes two separate brackets that are arranged at both sides of the gas water heater main body to support the gas water heater main body, the gas water heater main body may be fixed outdoors, the user just needs to connect a fuel gas vessel carried by the user to the gas inlet to complete the supply of fuel gas, and connect an outdoor water pipe to the water inlet pipe to complete the supply of water; therefore, supply of hot water is enabled outdoors with the gas water heater and a wider application scope is enabled for the water heater.

A flue restrainer and a method is provided for restraining a secondary flue conduit of a condensing water heater wherein to prevent damage to the connections of the secondary flue conduit during transport and manipulation of the condensing water heater prior to being placed into service. The flue restrainer is an inexpensive, single molded plastics part, which is clamped or friction fitted to the secondary flue during fabrication of the water heater.
