3.Stainless Steel – Stainless steel (type 304, 316, or 316L) is well suited for high purity applications requiring a corrosion resistant tank with minimal leaching of impurities into the water. Well suited for process, RO, and DI water systems in the pharmaceutical, food, and electronic industries.
TANK CONNECTIONS
The heater is supplied with separate cold water and hot water connections. A connection is provided for mounting a combination safety temperature and pressure relief valve. An overflow line should be utilized from the relief valve outlet to a floor drain. See drawing for locations and sizes.
OUTER SHELL, INSULATION, AND SUPPORTS
The tank is encapsulated in 2-inches of high-density fiberglass insulation. The protective shell is constructed of galvaneel and is coated with a durable silver hammertone finish. The entire vessel is supported on heavy-duty integrally welded steel supports for sturdy floor mounting.
STEAM HEATING COIL
The water heater is supplied with a high quality factory installed 2-pass U-tube heating coil constructed from 20-gauge ¾-inch O.D. single wall copper tubing designed for a maximum working pressure of 150 psi. The tubing is installed in a heavy-duty fabricated steel head with threaded NPT steam and condensate connections. Each assembly is fastened to a corresponding tank flange using a gasket and hex head steel bolts and nuts. Specialized heating coil construction may be included. These options include: double wall tubing with a leak detection port, or special materials (stainless steel, 90/10 copper-nickel, other) for the tubes and/or head. See drawing for complete details.
