Watts Water Heater Expansion Tank

We offer a range of expansion tanks for potable and non potable applications.

Watts water heater expansion tank. Our non potable water expansion tanks are designed to absorb the increased volume of water caused by thermal expansion and maintain a balanced pressure throughout the a water heating system. When water is heated it expands due to a phenomenon known as thermal expansion. This prevents loss of air to the water and ensures long and trouble free life for the system. Expansion tanks are designed to safely absorb the excess water created and prevent relief valves from triggering.

Customer support find a watts distributor. They are used to prevent system damage and unnecessary relief valve discharge caused by excessive pressure from thermal expansion. Install the expansion tank in the system refer to figure 1. This water heater expansion tank stops hot water from backflowing into the cold water line and prevents hot water from escaping through the pressure relief valve and onto the floor.

Watts potable water expansion tank for 50 gal. When water is heated it expands due to a phenomenon known as thermal expansion. Shut off power source to the water heater electricity gas oil burner switch and drain system following water heater manufacturer recommendations. Constant fluctuations in water pressure can be dangerous and they can damage the water heater properly installing a thermal expansion tank can solve all these issues.

The potable water expansion tank shall be installed in the cold water service pipe line on the supply side of the water heater or water storage tank. Series plt tanks feature a pre pressurized steel tank with an expansion membrane that prevents contact of the water with the air in the tank. We offer a range of expansion tanks for potable and non potable applications. This expansion tank controls thermal expansion of water in open domestic hot water supply systems.

These tanks may be used with all types of direct fired hot water heaters gas oil or electric and hot water storage tanks. It absorbs the increased volume of water generated by the hot water heating source. Its pre pressurized steel tank uses an expansion membrane to prevent air water contact for long system life. The weight of the expansion tank filled with water is supported by the system piping.

Expansion tanks are designed to safely absorb the excess water created and prevent relief valves from triggering. Potable water expansion tank 3 4 in male connection tank volume 4 5 gallons this potable water expansion tank is used on gas oil or electric direct fired residential water heater and hot water storage tank applications to absorb the increased volume of water created by thermal expansion.
