INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This product has been designed for use with hot water
supply system equipped with a back-flow
preventer and for water heaters (both direct and indirect
fired). Its function is to absorb the increased volume of
the water when the system heats up.
INSTALLATION
1. Read this manual carefully before attempting to
install this tank. Tank must be sized correctly by a
licensed plumber before installing. Under-sizing
tank can lead to instances of over pressurization
of tank and potential damage to tanks structure
and internal coatings.
2. Inspect the tank for any damage. If the tank
appears damaged or dented, return the tank
where you originally purchased it and ask for its
substitution with another tank.
3. Determine the system pressure (See Chart), then
remove the plastic cap on the air valve and use a
pressure gauge to verify the pre-charge pressure of
the tanks. Adjust if required.
4. Replace and tighten the plastic cup.

TYPICAL INSTALLATION

INCORRECT INSTALLATION
5. Connect the tank to the cold water inlet line to
the water heater between the heater itself and the
back-flow preventer and/or any valve. Tank should
typically be installed in vertical position with
water fitting facing up for optimum performance
(see figure). If installed with water fitting facing
down, air can be trapped in tank and reduce
performance of tank.
6. Draw water from the system until all air is
removed, then turn the system on until it reaches
the desired temperature (see water heater
manufacturer's instructions).
7. Slightly open a hot water fixture and allow system
to reach its operating temperature. Then close the
fixture. The tank is now operational.
WARNING: Dielectric fitting must be installed between
the water heater cold water line and the expansion tank
to assist in preventing electrolysis within the Thermal
Expansion Tank. This is not a requirement if PVC pipe is
used to plumb the hot water tank's cold water line.
