The vessels and heat exchangers in SBB/SB-E tanks are made from heavy gauge steel. All surfaces in contact with domestic hot water receive a thick ­porcelain enamel coating after shot-peening to clean the steel surface. In addition, vessel exteriors receive a light porcelain coating. Up to three inches of urethane foam insulation ensures that hot water stays hot, and standby heat loss is minimized. All SBB/SB-E tanks come with heavy-duty sacrificial anodes and visible anode wear indicators. SBB/SB-E tanks are also fitted with an extra-large clean-out port for ease of maintenance.

Stiebel Eltron SBB series tanks are equipped with either one or two large-bore heat exchangers, designed to maximize heat transfer. For solar thermal applications, an SBB tank can be used with an external backup heater, or an SB-E tank with its integral electric element can be used. Dual heat exchanger models are typically used in solar thermal applications by connecting the lower coil to the collector array, and the upper coil connected to any type of boiler for backup heat input or as a takeoff for a radiant heating loop.
