80 GAL WATER STORAGE TANK

🔥 What it is

The Rheem ST80 is an 80-gallon insulated hot water storage tank used in commercial and large residential hot water systems.

⚙️ What it does

It does not heat water on its own. Instead, it:

• Stores large volumes of already-heated water
• Works with a boiler or water heater system
• Helps supply high-demand hot water quickly
• Smooths out demand spikes (showers, laundry, commercial use)

🧰 Key features

• Capacity: 80 gallons
• Construction: glass-lined / porcelain enamel steel tank
• Insulation: rigid polyurethane foam
• Pressure rating: typically 150 PSI
• Connections: large 2-inch inlet/outlet fittings
• ASME-rated versions available depending on model
• Designed for commercial hot water systems

🏢 Where it’s used

• Apartment buildings
• Schools / gyms / commercial facilities
• Large homes with high hot water demand
• Boiler-based hydronic hot water systems

🧠 Simple explanation

It’s basically a big insulated “hot water holding tank” that sits between a heater/boiler and your fixtures so you don’t run out of hot water during heavy use.
