The tank features a porcelain-lined interior, offering excellent corrosion resistance to prolong the life of the water heater.

: Designed primarily for floor-standing vertical utility room placements. Ensure proper surrounding drafts for atmospheric exhaust routing.

| Specification | Detail | |---------------|--------| | Nominal Capacity | 40 Gallons (151.4 liters) | | Actual Storage Volume | 38–40 gallons (varies slightly by dip tube) | | Tank Material | Vitraglas® enamel-lined steel (porcelain coating) | | Anode Rod | Magnesium (sacrificial) – 3/4" NPT access |

If your home has (above 7 grains per gallon), you must install an expansion tank and consider a water softener. Sediment buildup will destroy the bottom of the tank within 3-4 years.

Consider replacing your Richmond 5V40-7 if:

Here are the key specs of the Richmond 5V40-7 water heater:

: Features a "4-hole top" or side-mounted openings for easier access and fast installation in tight quarters.

: If the water stays cold, check the pilot flame. A weak or absent flame often points to a faulty thermocouple or a clogged pilot orifice.

Typically utilizes screw-in type heating elements. These are standard and easily replaceable. If the unit is installed in an area with hard water, the lower element may eventually require replacement due to sediment buildup (scale).

Equipped with a precision-aligned burner array, the combustion system limits operational noise while driving uniform heat transfer across the base of the tank. The 4-hole top assembly allows direct access to the flue path, simplifying standard atmospheric venting hookups during a system retrofitting process. Corrosion Prevention Design
