Know your tank

Anatomy of a tank.

This is the machine we have spent seventy years on. Every part of it is familiar territory.

Vent hood

Carries exhaust safely up and out.

Hot out, cold in

Two pipes, two jobs. Hot water leaves, cold water enters to be heated.

Temperature dial

The setting we check on every service call.

Burner viewport

The little round window where the flame shows. We read it like a gauge.

Drain valve

Where sediment leaves the tank during a flush.
