State Sandblaster SBD 81 Gal Commercial Gas Water Heater, 199,000 BTU

An 81-gallon commercial natural gas water heater from the State Sandblaster SBD series, rated at 199,000 BTU input and 80% thermal efficiency. It is aimed at restaurants, apartment buildings, schools, healthcare sites and other facilities that draw hot water all day.

The Hydro Cannon system sets up a swirling motion inside the tank that helps limit sediment buildup, which supports efficiency and reduces maintenance over time. A multi-flue heat exchanger spreads heat through the stored water for steady recovery under heavy use, and a glass-lined steel tank with several anode rods resists corrosion.

Installers can choose between front, top and back water connections to suit the existing piping, and the relief valve comes factory installed. Its compact, low-profile build suits tight mechanical rooms.
