Commercial Water heater

**artho45** · 04-19-2023, 10:45 AM

I have a very large commercial water heater that has a stainless steel tank. I' guessing it is at least 100 gallon. It is covered with about 4 inches of what I believe is a spray foam. 2 questions, Is it worth it to take it off? If so, how do I get it off?
TIA

I would see if yards by you buy dirty stainless steel and what the price is scrapped as is verses trying to clean it up

Speaking from experience.... Theres about 50 to 100 lbs of sediment in those 100 gal tanks, so you will have to get that out too for clean SS price. i would just pull the brass and send it off as is.

I never heard of a SS tank, Copper tanks yes, but thats an Aussie thing i believe
