Man…at least you found the model # on them…I inspected three in the last month and couldn’t find the damn model or serial tag.

Michael…


yep...April (D) 1996 to be exact. The M is the manufacturing plant designator. Someone must have had an old one on hand.

Question: what reference guide do you use for water heaters? I was hoping prestons would have covered it, but it does not.

I use Google. ![icon_smile.gif](upload://b6iczyK1ETUUqRUc4PAkX83GF2O.gif) . Most of the stuff is out there somewhere. And then, if that fails, there's always the very helpful people here and over at that other site. Thank you all!

I have some very extensive water heater research that has been ongoing for three years. If anyone would like it as a Word file, let me know.

Russell, if you would send that info my way I’d be forever in your debt. (well, not really forever, but I would say “thank you”)
