contains precise sizing guidelines for sytems not
covered in the above charts.
The thermal-expansion tank for domestic water
heaters, sized right, is the only logical answer to the
growing problem of thermal expansion in water
heaters protected by BFP, check valves or pressure-
reducing valves. A simple installation to the supply
side on the water heater, this small tank will eliminate
the dangerous condition so that the relief valve will not
open during normal heating cycles.
