Where is the serial number on a Weil-McLain water heater?
On an indirect-fired water heater or storage tank, the rating label is on the side of the tank jacket.
Keep the model, serial and any separate production code or printed date together. Not every serial number contains a publicly decodable date.
Checking the manufacture date
Use the format that belongs to this product family. A printed production date, a supported serial code or manufacturer confirmation can establish the age. Repeating year codes may leave more than one possible year; a model-series introduction date helps narrow the range but does not date your individual unit.
How long does a Weil-McLain water heater last?
Water Heaters typically last 8 to 12 years. Use, water quality and maintenance matter more than the brand. Drain a few litres from the bottom yearly and check the anode rod every few years to slow corrosion.
