scrapping small heater?

[ilyaz]

I found this water heater in a dumpster. Small (15 gal). Except for the copper pipes and the steel shell, is there anything else there to scrap? If so, does it require a lot of effort to take apart?

Thanks

Look on line and see how it is made You forgot the tank inside!!!

also, some yards will take the outside casing as sheet metal if you take it off......wouldn't bother though unless you do a lot of them.....or get a lot of sheet metal to add it to.

I see copper pipe some copper wire a brass fitting some have aluminum anodes in the tank, not sure what the heating elements are made of...scrap it up...

I pulled the copper and aluminum off of one but didn't take the casing off to see what the tank was made of.

I would spin off the brass fittings (if they spin off ..some get corroded in) and then scrap as steel ( the tank inside is usually steel)..Good luck
