About water heaters, instantaneous or storage, non-electric

cpc code 44826 covers the production and distribution of non-electric water heaters, which are essential components in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. These appliances play a crucial role in providing hot water for a wide range of applications, from household use to industrial processes. As a key part of the broader plumbing and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) industry, the non-electric water heater segment contributes significantly to the overall economy, supporting various downstream industries and meeting the growing demand for efficient and reliable hot water solutions.

Production process

The production of non-electric water heaters typically involves a combination of manufacturing processes, including metal fabrication, assembly, and testing. Manufacturers may utilize techniques such as stamping, welding, and coating to create the tank and other components. The heating mechanism, which can be powered by natural gas, propane, or oil, is then integrated into the water heater's design. Quality control measures, such as pressure testing and thermal efficiency assessments, are crucial to ensure the safety and performance of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of non-electric water heaters include metal sheets or coils (such as steel or stainless steel) for the tank, burners or heating elements, insulation materials, and various fittings and controls. Manufacturers may also rely on specialized machinery, such as metal-working equipment and assembly lines, to streamline the production process. Additionally, the industry requires a skilled workforce, including engineers, technicians, and assembly line workers, to design, build, and test the water heaters.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 44826 is non-electric water heaters, which are then distributed to various end-users, including 41110 Residential buildings, 41120 Non-residential buildings, and 43210 Plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning installation. These water heaters are essential components in the construction and renovation of buildings, as well as in the maintenance and repair of plumbing systems. Additionally, the output of this industry may be consumed by 43220 Building completion and finishing, 43290 Other construction installation, and 95220 Repair of household appliances, among other related industries.
