The \u003cstrong\u003eBradford White SS-50-L indirect water heater\u003c\/strong\u003e acts as the buffer tank between the boiler and your taps: it holds \u003cstrong\u003e50 US gallons (42 imperial gallons, 189 L)\u003c\/strong\u003e of potable water, heated by a stainless steel coil connected to the heating loop. It is a size well suited to a family home with two bathrooms.

An indirect tank, on the other hand, has no element at all: it uses the output of the boiler already installed for heating. The result shows mostly in the amount of hot water available. Since the boiler recharges the tank while you draw water, the first-hour rating of the SS-50-L is well above its volume, which helps a family run showers, a bath and the dishwasher back to back in the morning and evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stainless steel tank and coil add another benefit: the vessel has no internal lining that could crack over time. It is a durable choice for a home you plan to keep for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSS-50-L specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 US gallons, 42 imperial gallons, 189 L.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAHRI first-hour rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 269 gal\/h (1,018 L\/h), boiler at 180 °F (82 °C).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContinuous draw:\u003c\/strong\u003e 229 gal\/h at 135 °F, or 867 L\/h at 57 °C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandby loss:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 °F\/h (0.27 °C\/h).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeat source required for these ratings:\u003c\/strong\u003e at least 145,000 BTU\/h and 14.0 gal\/min (53.0 L\/min).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoiler water:\u003c\/strong\u003e maximum supply temperature of 240 °F (116 °C).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeat exchanger:\u003c\/strong\u003e single-wall stainless steel coil, 1 in.

Most systems handle this difference with a mixing valve or a control that temporarily raises the boiler temperature when the tank calls for heat. With hot water radiators, the boiler already works at a higher temperature and the integration is more direct. In both cases, we examine the existing configuration before proposing the connection, so that space heating and hot water do not interfere with each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat a continuous draw of 229 gal\/h means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe continuous draw indicates the amount of water at 135 °F (57 °C) the tank can supply on an ongoing basis when the boiler sends it the output and flow specified by the manufacturer. This figure explains why a mid-sized indirect tank keeps up very well with back-to-back showers. Bradford White points out, however, that its certifications are obtained under specific conditions, with boiler water at 180 °F, and that different conditions give different results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSizing the boiler and the tank together\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo reach the published ratings, the heat source must supply at least 145,000 BTU\/h and a flow of 14.0 gal\/min. Many residential electric boilers have a lower output; the SS-50-L then works normally, but with slower recovery than the values in the table. That is why we never choose the tank on its own: we look at the boiler's output, the home's heating load in extreme cold and your usage habits, then explain what you can really expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConstruction and accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 444 stainless steel alloy, with chromium, molybdenum and titanium, forms both the tank and the coil. The boiler connections are at the front, a practical layout when the tank is installed next to the boiler. The \u003cstrong\u003elow-restriction brass drain valve\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a tamper-resistant design, makes flushing faster. With a standby loss of 0.5 °F\/h, the stored water holds its heat well between uses. The model's ratings are AHRI certified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer's warranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBradford White's warranty terms vary depending on whether the tank is used in a residence or in a commercial application.

We then purge the air from the coil, check every fitting for leaks and run a complete heating cycle before leaving. We show you where the drain valve and the relief valve are, and we recommend one maintenance visit per year for the boiler and tank together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere we work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe serve \u003cstrong\u003eMontreal\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLaval\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLongueuil\u003c\/strong\u003e, Saint-Hubert, La Prairie, Candiac, Rosemère, Sainte-Thérèse and the whole \u003cstrong\u003eSouth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eNorth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e.
