Designed for storage of potable water up to 180° F (82° C).
All tanks are constructed and certified – in accordance with ASME IV, Part HLW, for 125 PSI (862 KPa).
Glass lined steel tank – glass lining is applied to the interior surface of the steel providing a tough wear resistant lining which minimizes the effects of high temperature hot water.
Magnesium anode rod – for protection and longer service life.
One ¾” Aquastat NPT fitting – Located in the lower part of the tank.
Lifting Lugs – Standard.
Red Oxide Primer – Shop primer is standard on all tanks. Top coast and finish coats are available.
Five year limited warranty on steel tank – provides warranty protection against tank failure resulting from defects in materials and workmanship.
Ten year limited warranty on steel tank (with double glass lining) – provide superior warranty protection against tank failure. Double glass lining is not an inventory item, built upon request.

W-H-196 Test = 7.0 – 8.0 mg/in2
The W-H-196 Test is required for water heaters sold to the U.S. Government. The test consists of exposing the enamel to a boiling (212 ° f) 4/10% solution of Sodium Bicarbonate for eight (8), eighteen (18) hour cycles. Maximum weight loss after eight cycles is not to exceed 15 mg/in2.
PEI T-21 Spot Acid Test = Class A
PEI T-21 Spot Acid Test is used to
determine enamel resistance to acids.
The test area is examined for visible
effects on the enamel and is graded
from Class AA (no sign of etching) to
Class D (etched surface).
Impact resistance = 4 to 5
The Impact Resistance Test is used to
determine the adhesive qualities of
enamel to the substrate. The enamel
is graded from Class 1 (worst) to Class
5 (best), fractured glass adhering
solidly to the impact area. Class 3 is
acceptable.
Hi-Pot Test Less than 20
They HYPO Test is a measurement of
the continuity of the glass coating
(Spark Test). Fifty (50) breakthroughs
or fewer are the usual specification of
HWT’s.
