Expansion Tank And Make-Up Water
Determine required system fi ll pressure, design
•
temperature, and water content.
Boiler contains 2.6 gallons (U.S.). Size expansion tank
•
accordingly. Consult expansion tank manufacturer for
proper sizing information.
Connect properly sized expansion tank (not furnished)
•
See Figure 2, for diaphragm type expansion tank.
For diaphragm type expansion tanks, adjust tank air
pressure to match system fi ll pressure.
Install air vent (furnished) as shown for diaphragm type
•
expansion tank system only.
Install make-up water connections as shown and per
•
local codes.
If pressure reducing valve is used, adjust to match
•
system fi ll pressure. Verify clean water supply is
available when connecting cold make-up water supply
to boiler. When water supply is from well or pump,
install sand strainer at pump.
