McKenna Boiler Works, Inc. builds ASME Section VIII pressure vessels in its code shop in Oceanside, California, and stamps them under its ASME U certificate. McKenna builds steam accumulators, storage tanks, and custom vessels in carbon steel or stainless steel. There are no standard sizes: a McKenna engineer designs each vessel with the customer to fit the application, specifications, and space. McKenna maintains a written quality control manual for its code work. Call (323) 987-1816.

What we build
Steam accumulators, storage tanks, and custom vessels.
Built in our ASME code shop, and U-stamped when the design pressure calls for Section VIII. Tell us the application and a McKenna engineer will work out the vessel with you.
Steam accumulators
- Store energy as hot pressurized water and release steam when demand spikes.
- Let your boilers fire steady through load swings instead of chasing peaks.
- Sized from your steam load profile and pressure.
Storage tanks
- Storage tanks for condensate, feedwater, or process fluids.
- ASME U-stamped when the design pressure calls for Section VIII.
- Sized to your plant’s storage needs, with connections laid out to match your piping.
Custom vessels
- Built to your drawing, your engineer’s specification, or a McKenna design.
- Examples: air receivers, flash tanks, expansion tanks, process vessels.
- Sized and laid out to fit the space you have.
Need a heat exchanger, condensate receiver, or steam traps? We supply and install those too.
