Regtrol XT Series Thermal Expansion Tanks

A pre-pressurized steel tank with an expansion membrane that prevents contact of the water with the air in the tank. This prevents loss of air to the water and insures long and trouble free life for the system. There tanks may be used with all types of Direct Fired Storage Tanks-gas, oil, or electric. Designed to absorb excessive pressure as "over 80 PSI". Used to prevent system or heater damage and unnecessary relief valve discharge from excessive pressure. Maximum temperature 210 F. Precharge 55 PSI. Connection 3/4 inch male.
