Nice tank

Comments about #60 Extrol Expansion Tank (7.6 Gallon Volume):

Check the Amtrol site/documentation for proper sizing for your system. Comes pre charged and there is a cap on air valve to stop curious hands.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Simple to install

By John

Comments about #60 Extrol Expansion Tank (7.6 Gallon Volume):

I installed thid product on my boiler system and haven't seen a problem yet. I was slightly disappointed when I opened the box and discovered the connection fitting had been struck and therefore impacted the tank slightly. With a pair of pliers I was quickly able to fix the issue. Other than that very simple to install.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Handles the pressure

By Joe the HVAC tech

from Lakewood, NY

Verified Buyer

Comments about #60 Extrol Expansion Tank (7.6 Gallon Volume):

I went through 3 smaller tanks based on the installing contractor till I realized he never sized the expansion tank for the system. This slightly larger tank seems to have made the difference for a slightly larger than normal residential system and fit in the existing system.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Q:

    I have a no-name (no model, no brand, nothing label on the tank) expansion tank in my hydronic system. It is leaking out some bubbles in the steel in the top part of the tank so I assume it needs replaced. The boilers are cast iron but the in floor radiant is plastic tubing. The existing tank is about 11 inches in diameter and about 20 inches in length. Can I assume a replacement tank of similar dimensions will work?

      Yes! After all it is working so far. #60 is pretty big. You can always use a larger Exp tank, but not too small or you will push water out of the boiler relief valve. I would go with an RX tank unless you are sure that your PEX has an oxygen barrier on it. I think that you have non-barrier PEX cuz your tank is rustin' out. If it does have a barrier use a regular tank (Extrol). Does your tank have the fill valve on top of the Exp tank (like a Filtrol-110 or a separate press. regulation fill valve to set system pressure)? The RX doesn't have any system pressure regulation built in like a Filtrol , so you need a P.R.(fill) Valve set to 12-15 psi.with RX tank inflated the same psi. If PEX is non-barrier get a good mico-bubbler, like a Sparco and not an air scoop, air eliminator. Cuz oxygen gets into non-barrier PEX and rusts out the iron parts.

    Q:

    I have had a #60 Extrol Expansion Tank in my system operating flawlessly for 3 years, until I noticed a bubble in the paint near the top, side, where the groove that is formed at the factory is located. I touched the bubble, and it's leaking!!! Is this the proper tank for a cast iron closed loop heating system? The system pressure maximum is 22 PSI (hot water, not steam)

      How old is the Exp tank? Less than 5 yrs? You have oxygen getting into your system. Is your system In-Floor? Is it PEX plastic tubing? See Utah's response above about PEX. Your pressure should be 12-15 psi for a two story house, 16-19 psi @ 180 degrees. If your tank is rusting out because of O2 getting into your system, your rusting out the iron pumps, flanges, and heat exchanger in the boiler, too.---I've found in life everything works flawlessly until it doesn't.
