State Water Heater Age Decoding Information

State water heater data tag giving serial number and age of the heater (C) Daniel Friedman at InspectApedia.comThis page decodes the age of State brand water heaters. If your water heater or water tank is a different brand see

WATER HEATER AGE & MANUALS - home for water heaters, calorifiers, geysers, hot water cylinders

or

WATER PUMP & TANK I&O & REPAIR MANUALS - home for water tank and pump manuals & age decoders

State water heaters, produced by State Industries, encode the age in the first three positions of the State water heater serial number as

MYYnnnn

Where M is a one-letter month code, encoded corresponding to A = January through M = December and the second two digits are the numeric year.

On some State water heaters, age is encoded in the first four positions of the State or Apollo Comfort Products Water Heater serial number as

MMYYnnnnn such as 0910123456 where the heater was made September 2010.

Note that I've seen some guides claiming the opposite encoding, that is YYMMnnnnn

Other water heater brands by State or using the same format include Apollo Comfort Products water heaters.

What is the age of this State Select water heater - ES650DORSG

On 2021-03-16 by danjoefriedman (mod) - How do I determine the year of the hotwater tank

@GIO,

To determine the "year" (of manufacture) and thus the age of your water heater

1. look at the water heater to identify the manufacturer or brand

2. find the data tag on the water heater: that will contain a lot of information including the water heater serial number and model name

3. At InspectApedia.com find the water heater age decoder for your brand of water heater by using the on-page search box - for example search for

STATE WATER HEATER AGE

(which would bring you to this page)

Now on this page read the page top about how to de-code or find the "age" encoded in the serial number for your water heater.
