The Sandblaster line is State\'s commercial atmospheric gas tank water heater. Built on the ProLine chassis with commercial-rated burner, heavier insulation, and commercial warranty terms. For light commercial applications: restaurants, salons, multi-unit residential, small offices.
Sandblaster lineup
When Sandblaster is right
- Small restaurants (under 50 seats)
- Salons and spas
- Multi-unit residential common areas
- Small offices with multi-bathroom demand
- Houses of worship
- Community centers
When commercial cascade is better
For applications needing 400+ kBTU sustained DHW with variable load (medium-to-large hotels, large restaurants), consider Noritz NCC cascade instead. Cascade tankless beats large-tank commercial on standby loss and redundancy.
Warranty
3 years tank / 3 years parts / 1 year labor — commercial.
Install
- Atmospheric B-vent chimney with proper draft
- Gas line sized to BTU rating (¾" minimum for 65+ kBTU units)
- Combustion air per code (commercial code may differ from residential)
- Commercial application means commercial warranty applies; verify with State if installing in commercial space
Bottom line
State Sandblaster is the light commercial atmospheric gas tank choice when budget matters and demand profile is moderate. For higher demand or redundancy needs, commercial cascade tankless is the better answer.
