A potable, hot water storage vessel is shown with a metallic body having a water inlet, water outlet and at least one additional opening communicating the vessel interior and exterior. A flexible, non-molded liner is installed within the vessel interior through the additional opening. The liner has integrally formed ports which extend through the vessel inlet and outlets to the exterior of the vessel body. A bolt-on flange is received on the vessel exterior at the inlet and outlet to form a seal with each of the liner ports.
