    Re: Asme requirements on storage tanks

    In Wash state, if tank is connected to boiler over 200mbh and or if water temp exceeds 210 f, If tank is over 5 cft in volume. If installed in a place of public gathering or place of worship the volume goes down to I think 2.5 cft. Thats our take on it.
