Zusammenfassung: | A hot water heater (40) has an inner storage tank (2), a lower skirt ring (42, 60, 74, 84, 110, 116) supporting and spacing the tank above a support surface (10a), and an outer jacket (46, 66, 80, 90, 98, 104, 122) around the inner storage tank and spaced outwardly therefrom to define an annular cavity space (22) therebetween. The skirt ring mates with the outer jacket and forms a dam sealing the annular space. Foamed insulation introduced as a liquid into the annular space hardens to form an annular insulation layer (13) around the inner storage tank. The dam prevents leakage of liquid therepast. Inwardly and outwardly extending skirt ring flanges (44, 62, 78, 88, 114, 120) are disclosed, together with various outer jacket constructions (46, 66, 80, 90, 98, 104, 122), including turned lower end flanges (52, 102, 108), and straight lower ends (68, 81, 92, 126). |
