State Sandblaster SBD 100 Gal Commercial Gas Water Heater, 199,900 BTU

Part of the State Sandblaster SBD line, this 100-gallon gas-fired commercial heater runs on natural gas, with a 199,900 BTU/hr input and 80% thermal efficiency. At a 100°F rise it recovers roughly 193 gal/hr, suiting restaurants, multi-family buildings, salons, schools and light industrial sites.

The Hydro Cannon (Eliminator) system keeps sediment suspended so normal draws carry it out, helping the tank hold its rated efficiency. A PERMAGLAS Ultra Coat glass lining and multiple CoreGard anodes guard the steel tank, and the working pressure limit is 160 psi. Intermittent electronic ignition does away with a standing pilot.

Water hookups are offered at the top (1-1/2 in.) or at the front and back (2 in.), so the heater can match existing piping. It needs a 120V, 5A supply and uses a 6 in. vent with an automatic flue damper. The T&P relief valve comes fitted at the factory and carries CSA certification and an ASME rating, and an adjustable 120-180°F thermostat, handhole cleanout and NSF 5 compliance for 180°F water round out the package.
