A NEW CLASS OF WATER HEATER
The Squire Stainless Steel Indirect Water Heater -- with 12 models to choose from in
capacities from 30-119 gallons, we are sure to have the right size indirect water heater
to fit your application.
Squire features important enhancements that our customers will recognize and benefit
from such as a welded and passivated stainless steel tank and heat exchanger, twoinch thick, high-density insulating foam, and best of all it is designed, engineered and
assembled in America.
STAINLESS STEEL TANK MANUFACTURING
LASER CUT PRECISION
A CNC laser uses Programmable Logic Controls to precisely cut the Squire Indirect Water Heater’s tank
shell out of 14 gauge 316L stainless steel to a tolerance of .01 inch.
TANK CYLINDER ROLLER
The computer controlled tank cylinder rolling machine ensures that the 316L stainless steel is
transformed into a geometrically perfect cylinder.
COIL WINDER
LASER CUT PRECISION
Straight tubes are rolled by a seven axis coil winder and turned into a precise, round coil used in
the indirect water heater to transfer the BTU’s from the heat source to the potable water stored in
the tank.
ROBOTIC WELDER
This state of the art six axis programmable robotic welder uses computer guidance to accurately
weld the stainless steel fittings to the tank.
HYDROSTATIC LEAK TEST
After welding, the tank is hydrostatically pressure tested to ensure quality conformance.
PASSIVATION PROCESS
Each tank is subjected to a soaking spray of nitric
acid. This treatment washes away any iron that was
left behind during the welding process and reestablishes the oxide level of the stainless steel to
ensure corrosion resistance. By removing iron from
the welded surfaces, the Squire is less susceptible to
corrosion brought on by aggressive water.
ROBOTIC WELDER
JACKET AND FOAM
The dent resistant polypropylene jacket and ABS
caps are attached to the tank assembly, and then
high density foam is added using a high pressure
dispensing system to provide insulation that will
keep the heat where it belongs, in the water. The
result is a tank that is jacketed and evenly foam
insulated with standby losses as low as 0.5°F per
hour.
