Oatey 34057 21" X 21" X 18" High Galvanized Water Heater Stand

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a pretty large water heater and I needed something very sturdy in order to keep it off the ground so I could have additional space. This one definitely did the job. It was very easy to put together and felt really stable and safe.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Oatey water heater stand is a solid, well-built option that adds both safety and practicality to your setup. Made from 18-gauge galvanized steel, it's rust-resistant and sturdy enough to hold up to 50-gallon gas water heaters without any flexing or instability. I've used it with a 40-gallon unit, and it feels completely secure. One of the key safety benefits is that it raises the heater 18 inches off the ground, meeting code requirements for gas units installed in garages or areas with flammable vapors. That elevation gives extra peace of mind, especially in older homes or tight utility spaces. It also saves space—the design is compact and doesn't take up extra room, making it ideal for smaller laundry or utility areas. While it doesn't come with a drain pan, it works well with one if needed. Overall, it's a reliable, durable stand that checks all the boxes for safety, quality, and convenience.
