    A lag screw would be a good choice to screw into wood. I think a 1/4 inch screw that is
    1 1/2 inch long would be a good size.
    I am assuming that the straps are already attached to the water heater. If not a Number 10 hex head metal screw 1/2 inch long would work. Do not screw int to the inside tank.
