Rheem / Rudd / Richmond Model Number 81V080HE180 Gallon
Heat Exchanger Tank Solar Component Installation
Before putting any fluid in
the solar loop, Check to see
that Expansion Tank is
charged to 12 Lb. Charge
glycol loop to 24, pounds,
(about the maximum a drill
pump will go to) or 10 to 12
pounds more than the Expan-
sion tank was charged to.
After charging, pressurize the
loop by filling the Expansion
tank with air to 50 pounds of
pressure. This helps to pre-
vent high temperature stagna-
tion boiling.
Expansion tank factory set to
12 Lb.

Feed Line to collector
If it is desirable to have
the expansion tank and
pump higher or above
the tank, this can be ac-
complished by making
an extension (like a
long nipple) made from
a 3/4” copper tube and
two 3/4” copper by 3/4
male pipe thread
(3/4 C x 3/4” MPT)
adaptors on each end.
This piece can then re-
places the 6” nipple be-
tween the Expansion
tank Brass Tee and V1.
It does not matter if the
pump is above or below
the Expansion tank
