Replacement Boiler Feed & Condensate Return Tanks
Shop replacement boiler feed and condensate return tanks for steam boiler applications. These tank-only replacements are used when an existing boiler feed tank, condensate return tank, boiler return tank, or feedwater tank is leaking, rusted, or no longer serviceable.
In the field, these tanks may also be called receiver tanks. On this page, receiver tank refers to the tank portion of a boiler feed or condensate return system, not a separate level-controlled condensate receiver system.
- Horizontal and vertical replacement tank configurations
- Steel and stainless steel tank options available
- Built for tank-only replacement, retrofit work, and new boiler room projects

How to Match the Right Replacement Tank
Replacement tank selection usually starts with the existing tank layout. Important details include available floor space, orientation, approximate capacity, piping connections, vent location, gauge glass openings, float assembly location, and material requirements.
Names can vary by contractor, facility, or manufacturer. The same tank-only replacement may be described as a condensate return tank, boiler feed tank, boiler return tank, feedwater tank, or receiver tank. Rema organizes this category around tank-only replacements used with boiler feed and condensate return systems.
- Horizontal tanks are often chosen when floor space allows for a longer tank layout.
- Vertical tanks are commonly used when the mechanical room footprint is limited.
- Steel tanks work well for many standard service conditions and replacement projects.
- Stainless steel tanks are typically selected when corrosion resistance is more important.
Many replacement tank projects involve rusted tanks, leaking seams, damaged fittings, failed gauge glass connections, or older boiler room layouts where the original footprint and connection points need to be matched as closely as possible.
Typical replacement options include a horizontal boiler condensate return tank with float and gauge and a vertical boiler condensate return tank.

Replacement Boiler Feed & Condensate Return Tanks for Steam Systems
Replacement boiler feed and condensate return tanks are used when the tank portion of an existing boiler feed or return system needs to be replaced. In many boiler rooms, the pumps, controls, and piping may still be usable, but the tank itself may be rusted, leaking, or no longer reliable.
These tanks hold returned condensate and/or make-up water before the water is supplied back to the boiler system. A properly matched replacement tank helps support reliable boiler operation, maintains usable condensate storage, and can avoid replacing an entire system when only the tank is the problem.
Depending on the job, these tanks may be called condensate return tanks, boiler feed tanks, boiler return tanks, feedwater tanks, receiver tanks, or replacement return tanks. Some manufacturers and contractors use the term receiver tank for the tank portion of a boiler feed or condensate return system. If you need a separate level-controlled collection and transfer unit, view our condensate receiver systems.
These replacement tanks are commonly used in laundries, hospitals, schools, dry cleaners, manufacturing plants, food processing facilities, and commercial boiler rooms. In many installations, matching the existing tank footprint, material, capacity, and connection layout is more important than choosing a standard catalog size.
Browse tank configurations including horizontal steel replacement tanks, vertical steel replacement tanks, horizontal stainless replacement tanks, and vertical stainless replacement tanks.

Replacement Boiler Feed & Condensate Return Tank FAQs
Can I replace just the tank and keep my existing pumps?
In many installations, yes. Customers often replace only the tank while keeping the existing pumps, controls, and piping. Matching tank footprint, capacity, material, and connection layout is important when replacing an existing boiler feed or condensate return tank.
Is a condensate return tank the same as a boiler feed tank?
The terms often overlap in the field. A condensate return tank is usually described by its job of holding returned condensate, while a boiler feed tank is usually described by its job of supplying water back to the boiler system. In many Rema applications, these tank-only replacements are part of the same boiler feed and condensate return equipment family.
Why do some people call these receiver tanks?
Some contractors and manufacturers use receiver tank to describe the tank that receives condensate or feedwater in a boiler room system. On this page, receiver tank refers to the tank-only replacement used with a boiler feed or condensate return system. It does not refer to a separate level-controlled condensate receiver system.
How do I match a replacement boiler feed or condensate return tank?
Start by checking tank orientation, overall dimensions, approximate capacity, material, and the location of inlets, outlets, vents, gauge glass, float openings, and other fittings. If the replacement is not a standard match, a custom tank may be the better option.
When should I choose stainless steel instead of steel?
Stainless steel tanks are commonly selected when corrosion resistance is more important or where service conditions are harder on standard steel tanks. Steel tanks remain a strong choice for many standard replacement applications.
