A business has added a washing station, a duplex has been converted into a single-family home with two more bathrooms, a daycare fills several sinks at once at lunchtime. The \u003cstrong\u003eBradford White M3ST80R5 hot water storage tank\u003c\/strong\u003e answers that need: it keeps \u003cstrong\u003e80 US gallons (67 imperial gallons, or 303 L)\u003c\/strong\u003e of already heated water in reserve, ready to be used along with the water from the heater.

It has no element and no coil: it is an insulated tank that holds the water produced by another unit, such as an electric water heater or an electric boiler. Its benefit is simple. The water heater works continuously at its own pace and fills the reserve; when demand jumps suddenly, the stored water adds to the heater’s water and the temperature at the tap holds longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis approach often avoids replacing a unit still in good condition with a larger model. It also splits the hot water volume between two tanks, which makes it easier to get through a narrow staircase or into a small mechanical room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the M3ST80R5 fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its 80 US gallon volume, this tank suits small buildings and neighbourhood businesses rather than large buildings. A few typical examples: a hair salon rinsing hair all day long, a daycare, a small restaurant or café whose dishwasher and sinks run together, a plex whose hot water is produced by a single unit, or a large home heated by an electric boiler whose hot water production lacks reserve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn each case, we start from the real demand: number of fixtures, appliances running at the same time and length of the peaks. The tank is only recommended if it truly solves the situation; sometimes a better-sized water heater remains the best solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it fits into an existing electric installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tank is connected to the water heater or electric boiler by a piping loop. A small circulating pump, controlled by a thermostat, moves water between the heating unit and the reserve to keep it at the right temperature. Cold water enters the system, passes through the water heater, then goes to the tank and to the taps depending on the layout chosen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause stored water can be kept hotter than the water delivered to the taps, we add a \u003cstrong\u003ethermostatic mixing valve\u003c\/strong\u003e at the outlet when needed to limit the risk of scalding. The exact layout depends on your current unit; it is explained in the quote, along with the choice of pump and controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer’s data\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 US gallons \/ 67 imperial gallons \/ 303 L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorking pressure:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 psi (1,034 kPa)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater connections:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 in (51 mm) NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInner lining:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vitraglas with Microban\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInsulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 in (51 mm) CFC-free foam on the sides and top of the tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProtection:\u003c\/strong\u003e two anode rods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrain valve:\u003c\/strong\u003e brass, low-restriction, designed to resist vandalism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e height 58 3\/4 in (1,492 mm), diameter 24 in (610 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192 lb (87 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard:\u003c\/strong\u003e meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1b\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA tank protected by two anodes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inside of the M3ST80R5 is lined with \u003cstrong\u003eVitraglas with Microban\u003c\/strong\u003e, Bradford White’s lining for its steel tanks. The manufacturer adds \u003cstrong\u003etwo anode rods\u003c\/strong\u003e. An anode wears away on purpose in place of the steel: with two rods, protection is better spread over the height of the tank.

It holds the water produced by commercial electric water heaters or by an electric boiler, and makes it available when demand exceeds what these units produce at that moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the ASME configuration changes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)\u003c\/strong\u003e code governs the design and construction of pressure vessels. In Bradford White’s storage tank series, ASME construction is offered as an option, and the M3ST200R5A is precisely the version that includes it. In many projects, the engineer, the insurer or the building manager requires a tank built to this code above a certain volume; choosing the ASME version from the outset avoids reordering at the last minute. We confirm this requirement with you from the assessment stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer’s data\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 US gallons \/ 167 imperial gallons \/ 751 L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e ASME configuration included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorking pressure:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 psi (1,034 kPa)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater connections:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 1\/2 in (64 mm) NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInner lining:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vitraglas with Microban\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInsulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 in (51 mm) CFC-free foam on the sides and top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProtection:\u003c\/strong\u003e two anode rods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrain valve:\u003c\/strong\u003e brass, low-restriction, vandal-resistant design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e height 77 in (1,956 mm), diameter 32 in (813 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 633 lb (287 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard:\u003c\/strong\u003e meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1b\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuildings where this volume makes sense\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 200 US gallon reserve is justified when demand arrives in very sharp waves. In a seniors’ residence, baths and care are concentrated in the morning. In an arena or a fitness centre, all the showers run at the same time for twenty minutes, then nothing. A commercial laundry fills several washers at once. A small hotel or inn sees its guests shower at the same hour before checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a medium-sized residential building, this volume is sometimes larger than needed; a smaller tank from the same series may be enough. It is the analysis of your peaks that decides, not the size of the building.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA volume that changes the system design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith large storage, hot water production can be spread over long hours rather than concentrated at the peak. In practice, this often makes it possible to use electric water heaters or an electric boiler of reasonable wattage relative to the building’s electrical service, while still delivering the peak without a temperature drop. A circulating pump, controlled by a thermostat on the tank, handles the exchange between the heating units and the reserve. A thermostatic mixing valve at the outlet keeps the stored water hot while delivering a safe temperature to showers and sinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePlanning the delivery of a 633 lb tank\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M3ST200R5A weighs 633 lb empty. Once filled, the load on the floor becomes considerable, and the slab must be able to carry it. Its 32 in diameter does not fit through every door, and its 77 in height requires checking the free height under the pipes and ducts of the mechanical room. We plan the delivery route, the handling equipment and the final position before ordering, taking into account the service space around the fittings and the drain valve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTank construction and protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inside is lined with \u003cstrong\u003eVitraglas with Microban\u003c\/strong\u003e and protected by \u003cstrong\u003etwo anode rods\u003c\/strong\u003e. On a tank this tall, two anodes spread the protection better than one. 2 in of CFC-free foam covers the sides and top, and Bradford White states that its storage tanks meet or exceed the ASHRAE 90.1b standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e2 1\/2 in connections and working pressure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2 1\/2 in (64 mm) NPT water connections allow high flow rates to the building’s distribution system. The working pressure is 150 psi (1,034 kPa). We check the supply pressure, install a pressure-reducing valve when needed, and select a relief valve suited to the volume and configuration of the tank. A thermal expansion tank sized for the system completes the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaintaining a large tank\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne visit per year is a minimum for a tank of this volume: flushing sediment through the low-restriction brass valve, testing the relief valve, checking the fittings and the pump controls, and inspecting the anodes at regular intervals.
