(3\/8\") stainless steel with the larger 63mm (2.5\") thermostat recess for improved flow. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bracket thickness has been upgraded to 2mm (12 gauge) stainless steel from the original 1.2mm mild steel, to prevent any movement leading to hairline cracks developing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole assembly is then laser welded on a jig to ensure accuracy and a permanently leak free tank.  Each tank is pressure tested to 2.5 Bar (36PSI) before leaving the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTanks are finished in a satin black polyester powdercoat to match
