STEELflow

Stainless steel unvented cylinders

McDonald Water Storage is synonymous with superior quality hot water cylinders and its STEELflow unvented cylinders are no exception.

Manufactured from premium grade duplex stainless steel ensuring superior corrosion resistance, STEELflow provides uncompromising efficiency and high quality standards, with high performance cylinders for those on a budget.

The range is designed with the installer in mind, with the inclusion of a 90 degree elbow on the hot water draw off to reduce installation time and negate any damage caused by solder flux above the connection, in addition to the embossed label connections and compression fittings as standard.

STEELflow offers a comprehensive range of unvented cylinders from 60 – 300 litres in direct and indirect configurations, in addition to renewable solar thermal and heat pump models including tank on tank solutions, including pre-plumb solutions.
