Installation Guide

This hydro-pneumatic tank is designed and intended for hot or
cold water storage at a maximum pressure of 150 per square inch
gauge (150 PSIG). Any use other than water or at a sustained
or instantaneous pressure in excess of 150 PSIG is UNSAFE.
A pressure relief valve of adequate size must be incorporated
in the water heater system. This expansion tank, as all tanks,
will eventually leak. Do not install without adequate drainage
provisions where water leakage will cause damage. Failure to
follow these instructions can cause an explosion and result in
SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY. 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 of the system of which it is a part.
LOCATING THE NEW EXPANSION TANK
FACTS TO CONSIDER ABOUT THE LOCATION
1. The location selected should be indoors in an area not subject
to freezing.
2. The items which should be installed in sequence in the cold
water line are (1) the EXPANSION TANK must be installed at
least 18 inches away from the cold water inlet tting on the water
heater, (2) the PRESSURE GAUGE, and (3) the PRESSURE
REDUCING VALVE, if required, see Figure 1.
3. The expansion tank is designed to be supported by the system
piping in the vertical position.
4. The expansion tank, pipes and your connections may, in time
leak. Put the expansion tank in a place where a water leak will
not damage anything. The expansion tank should be located
in an area where water leakage from the tank or connections
will not result in damage to the area around the expansion tank
or to the lower oors of the structure.
