W A R N I N G !

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property dam-

age, serious bodily injury or death. Read instructions completely before proceeding with instal-

lation. Only qualified personnel may install or service this equipment in accordance with local

codes and ordinances.

Do not exceed 80psi (5.5 bar) air charge. Air charge pressure exceeding 80psi (5.5 bar) could

become hazardous and will void any and all warranties, either written or implied. Failure to fol-

low these instructions will result in the possibility of property damage, serious bodily injury

or death.

This Expansion Tank is designed and intended for water storage at a maximum pressure of

150psi (10.3 bar) and a maximum temperature of 200°F (93ºC). Any use other than for potable

water or a sustained or instantaneous pressure in excess of 150psi (10.3 bar) or 200°F (93ºC)

is UNSAFE and can cause property damage, serious bodily injury or result in death.

Disclaimer: The manufacturer of this tank does not accept any liability or other responsibility for

personal injury or property damage resulting from improper use, installation or operation of this tank

or the system of which it is a part.

Notice: The expansion tank, piping and your connections may in time leak. Select a location

to install the expansion tank where a water leak will not damage the surrounding area. The manu-

facturer is not responsible for any water damage in connection with this expansion tank.

Installation

1. Before beginning installation determine the system pressure.

a. Open a faucet to allow the system pressure to equalize.

b. Close faucet.

c. Read the system pressure at the pressure gauge (Figure 1).

2. The expansion tank pre-charge must be set to the system pressure as

determined in Step 1. Pre-charge prior to installation in the system.

Caution: Pre-charge prior to installation in the system.

Do not adjust the air pre-charge of the expansion tank

with the system under pressure. The air pre-charge

should only be adjusted under zero system pressure.

Note: The normal pre-charge is 20psi (138 kPa).

Do not exceed 80psi. If system pressure exceeds

80psi (5.5 bar) it will be necessary to either: Add a A.

pressure reducing valve to the system or, Locate the B.

expansion tank in a riser where the static pressure is

below 80psi (5.5 bar).

a. Unscrew the protective cap from the air inlet valve.

b. Using a tire pressure gauge, check the tank pre-charge pressure.

c. If necessary, pressurize the tank to the proper setting using a manual

bicycle tire pump. Caution do not exceed 80psi.

d. Replace the protective air cap.

3. Shut off the water supply valve.

4. Shut off power source to the water heater, (electricity, gas, oil burner

switch) and drain system following water heater manufacturer

recommendations.

5. Install the expansion tank in the system (refer to Figure 1).

a. The weight of the expansion tank filled with water is supported by

the system piping. Therefore, it is important that, where appropriate,

the piping has suitable bracing (strapping, hanger, brackets).

b. The expansion tank may be installed vertically (preferred method)

or horizontally. Caution: The tank must be properly supported

in horizontal applications.

c. This expansion tank, as all expansion tanks, may eventually leak.

Do not install without adequate drainage provisions.

6. Turn on the water supply valve.

7. Open a hot water fixture and allow water flow until all air is removed from

the system.

8. Reapply power to the water heater.

9. Open a hot water fixture to allow a slight flow until the hot water has

reached operating temperature.

10. Recheck system pressure following Step 1.a through c.

Caution: Pre-charge prior to installation in the sys-

tem. Do not adjust the air pre-charge of the expan-

sion tank with the system under pressure. The air

pre-charge should only be adjusted under zero sys-

tem pressure.

If necessary, adjust the pressure reducing valve to the

expansion tank pre-charge as determined in Step 2.

Important!

• A pressure relief valve sized and installed in accor-

dance with local codes must be incorporated in

the systems requiring a combined temperature

and pressure safety relief valve. The temperature

and pressure safety relief valve should be sized

and installed in accordance with local codes.

• Never plug a safety Relief Valve.
