In a converted plex where each apartment had its own tank, a central indirect tank can also simplify maintenance, provided the boiler and the distribution allow it. Every case calls for an analysis: number of plumbing fixtures, simultaneous use, peak hours and boiler capacity. We do this calculation before proposing the model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 111 US gallons, 92 imperial gallons, 420 L.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-hour rating (AHRI):\u003c\/strong\u003e 409 gal\/h (1,548 L\/h), with boiler water at 180 °F (82 °C).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContinuous draw:\u003c\/strong\u003e 319 gal\/h at 135 °F (1,208 L\/h at 57 °C).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandby heat loss:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 °F\/h (0.16 °C\/h).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum heat source input:\u003c\/strong\u003e 199,000 BTU\/h.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum heat source flow:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.0 gal\/min (34.0 L\/min).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum boiler supply temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240 °F (116 °C).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeat exchanger:\u003c\/strong\u003e single-wall stainless steel coil, 1 in.

Boiler water flows through the coil, gives up its heat to the potable water and returns to the boiler, without ever coming into contact with the domestic water. On a 420 L volume, this heating method has a clear advantage: the boiler recharges the reserve while the water is being used, which gives a first-hour rating of 409 gal\/h and a continuous draw of 319 gal\/h at 135 °F. For a building where morning showers are concentrated in a short period, this recharging capacity matters as much as the stored volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePairing the SS-120-L with a high-output electric boiler\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBradford White states that these ratings are obtained with a heat source of at least 199,000 BTU\/h, a flow of at least 9.0 gal\/min and boiler water at 180 °F (82 °C). The manufacturer also specifies that different conditions give different results. A smaller electric boiler will heat the reserve properly, but more slowly; in a building, this can mean less hot water at the end of the peak. We therefore size the whole system: boiler output, the share reserved for heating in extreme cold, circulator flow and priority control. If the existing boiler cannot keep up, we present the options before starting the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e1 in. potable water connections\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the smaller models in the series, which use 3\/4 in. connections, the SS-120-L takes in cold water and delivers hot water through 1 in. NPT fittings. This larger diameter limits pressure loss when several apartments or several fixtures draw at the same time. The boiler connections, also 1 in. NPT, are at the front of the tank to make piping easier in a mechanical room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e444 stainless steel and low standby loss\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tank and heat exchanger are made of \u003cstrong\u003e444 ferritic stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, a chromium, molybdenum and titanium alloy. There is no internal lining to monitor. With a standby loss of 0.3 °F\/h, the lowest of the SS tanks we offer, the large reserve holds its temperature well overnight and during quiet hours. The model's ratings are AHRI certified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHandling and location\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a diameter of 30 1\/4 in. and an empty weight of 217 lb, the SS-120-L requires preparation. We measure the doors, hallways and stairs leading to the mechanical room, and we check that the slab or floor can support the tank once filled with 420 L of water. Service space around the front connections and the relief valve is planned from the first visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResidential or commercial warranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBradford White applies different warranty terms depending on the use, residential or commercial.

We recommend at least one visit per year: a partial flush to remove sediment, a test of the relief valve, and a check of the fittings, the circulator and the boiler control.
