recommendation for an indirect water tank

Member Posts: 39
i need to replace my 40g indirect water tank. anyone have any recommendations? i'm thinking something around the same capacity, or a little more wouldn't hurt.
my current one had all 4 connectors on top, but i guess that wouldn't be an issue a plumber to redo the connections. i'm in NYC if that matters.
i have a 93,000k btu boiler.

Any indirect rated over 93k will maximize your boiler. Aside from some of the Amtrol models most 40 gallon models will e rated higher."If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough"

Don't oversize it. How many people are drawing hot water from it? Are there hi capacity fixtures in the house? Keep in mind that a standard 40-gallon gas-fired water heater typically uses a 40,000 BTU burner and fires at about 70% efficiency. Your 93,000 BTU boiler will put much more energy into the water and probably runs at least 80% efficiency or higher. I'm willing to bet you need not purchase a larger tank.Contact John "JohnNY" Cataneo, NYC Master Plumber, Lic 1784
