Permaglass hot water heaters were a line of water heaters manufactured by the American appliance company, A.O. Smith. These water heaters were known for their durable construction and reliability. The term "Permaglass" typically referred to the glass lining used inside the tank to protect against corrosion and extend the lifespan of the heater.

 

Permaglass water heaters were popular for residential and commercial applications due to their efficiency and ability to provide consistent hot water. They were available in various sizes and configurations, including both gas and electric models. The glass lining technology helped prevent rust and corrosion, which are common issues in water heaters over time.
