Type SHEM-T

A Steel Horizontal Elevated Make-up boiler feed unit with turbine pumps for low flow, high pressure applications. A standard , 3/16" thick, black steel receiver is ASME code constructed with dished heads; tank can be ASME code stamped if needed. Material thickness ranges from 3/16" to 3/8" for years of service; an option for heavier thickness is available.
