Never heard of Super Stor...
The serial number looks a little like a State Industries number. If that's the case then it's May of 2002. Mark Nahrgang www.DaytonSpringfieldHomeInspector.com www.HeyMark.info Home Inspections for Springfield, Dayton, and surrounding OH areas. |

This is what I know as Super Stor.
Is this State Industries? Thanks, Scott Falvey Clear View Home Inspections, LLC Newbury, NH NACHI#05051292 www.clearviewhomeinspectionsllc.com |

If you have a picture of the label, sometimes that has some clues. Be patient though, someone else will likely be along soon that will know, Possibly Russel Ray. He's pretty good with these numbers. So are several others here. Mark Nahrgang www.DaytonSpringfieldHomeInspector.com www.HeyMark.info Home Inspections for Springfield, Dayton, and surrounding OH areas. |

State's first letter is (L)--
Bradford White single letter (E) would be 1988. If it looks new then it is 2008. Both make a ton of of "other brand" names, |

AOSmith uses a letter followed by the year -- in this case 2002.

STATE First letter – Month of manufacture
A Jan - B Feb - C Mar - D Apr - E May - F Jun G Jul - H Aug - J Sep - K Oct - L Nov - M Dec followed by two numbers = year of manufacture Hey Jae, I don't know which one of us is right or not, but I thought state's first letter indicated a month. Followed by two digit year. That's why I was guessing that this brand was another one possibly manufactured by them.

I'm doubting myself too. Heck you're more experienced than I. I'm hoping someone can jump in here and set us straight. I'm a little cloudy, I've haven't been thinking so good the last couple of days... Last Friday the misses asked me if her jeans made her back side look big. I said "No, it's the size of your ..." I never saw her swing the bat. Mark Nahrgang www.DaytonSpringfieldHomeInspector.com www.HeyMark.info Home Inspections for Springfield, Dayton, and surrounding OH areas. |

In my area, I see these Super Stor units all the time probably 15-20%. I have never worried about the age until this one and never really thought about who makes them.
I guess it will be great if somebody can help decifer this so I have a little better handle on these units. Thanks, Scott Falvey Clear View Home Inspections, LLC Newbury, NH NACHI#05051292 www.clearviewhomeinspectionsllc.com |

May 2002.
However, the casing looks like it's from the mid to late 1970s. I suspect that the water heater was renovated in May 2002, which resulted in the new tag. If you look at the burners and probably the thermostat, they probably look like 2002 units rather than 1970s units. NACHI 2005 U.S. Member of the Year
