Re: [DIY] Expansion Tank

Well...40 years of several houses the only time I had expansion tank was with hot water'cirulating
baseboard and in-floor heat panels.. (the best home heat in MHO)...never on drinkable or
hot water side...never found good reason for need..maybe except or local hot water store near
sink with recirculate perhaps? Burt that is not technically an expansion tank per se.For a closed
system (ie check valves on water meter. etc) an expansion tank may be needed but todays
tanks are rated enug and with 150psi safety valves that open and release the pressure..but hey!
again in so many years I never had a safety valve open...maybe if the water temp is cranked up
high enuf//// but hey...that is scalding...

So == only if code demands an expansion tank on hot water system for new combustion in your area.

I was wondering when you need an
expansion tank and whether it should be on the hot or cold
side.
