I understand you have new grates. However Meyers’s Supply Inc in Johnstown PA for parts? Unless someone knows we’re the grates are coming from.

Yes, I got 4 grates from Meyers Supply in Johnstown and 2 grates from Curwensville True Value in Curwensville PA. I replaced 5 of them and have 1 spare. I noticed last night, cast into the loading door, is says number and series. Perhaps there was a metal tag that went in there.

I replaced 5 of the 6 grates, the one in the front was still good.

Those look very similar to Harman grates.

I took another picture of the water heater. It’s a B&G catalog #1000. I didn’t see anything on the internet, anybody got any old catalogs?

Here your information. I believe they call it a CHX series. It says HX-606 or 808 cast in the cover.

Revisiting this, somehow on the internet I found a foundry in Brooklyn NY that casts grates. I called them to inquire about grates and they said to call Curwensville True Value, that they have grates. They must supply Curwensville and perhaps others with grates.
