Sorry if I am missing something...but you are asking me or anyone here to go and buy you one and ship it? I can certainly get you one...just email me direct and include your payment method and address...Surely there is a local supplier in your area. Call plumbing supply houses and they will direct you to the nearest hydronics supplier for your area.

    for what?

    Is this for a heating system or a domestic hot water piping application?

    To help you we need all the information. Chris

    I am a contractor doing radiant systems and need to find which manufacturer makes and sells them. I need a small hydronic tank. If you can give me a lead on one I can tell my suppliers

    Honeywell and Bell & Gosset are my favorites. If you re-read your orig post you will see how we were confused...

    makes a nice tiny one, about the size of a soccer ball, maybe two gallons? A #10 perhaps? Anyway, that is the one I use on a small electric DHWH for system flushing/heating and small radiant areas off-season. Cost me about $25 at a big box store. There, I said it.

    It starts with a exp tank on a weekend, then some CI fittings, then you are hooked! "since I am here..."

    Exactly....

    Economy Plumbing and Heating Supply in Jamaica Plain, MA is my go-to supply house. They are not open on weekends so that left the one other place in town...

    But one has to agree, any time saved on the "convenience" at The Order of the Orange Apron is spent endlessly peeling barcode stickers off every fitting and nipple....

    I have found a better way

    Hit the opposite side of the fitting with the torch for a second or two. It warms the fitting enough that the sticker peels right off.

    Too much heat though, and you weld the sticker permanently and have to complete the cremation.

    There is a place in hell for those who advocate barcode stickers on every foot of stock and fittings.... they sit under Lucifer's gaze peeling them off with bleeding fingernails for eternity... It is fitting. And just.
