CAUTION
GRANITE GROUP LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY INSTALLATION, WARNINGS, AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
PET SERIES THERMAL EXPANSION TANKS
OPERATION
This thermal expansion tank designed to maintain safe
water pressures in a domestic water heating system
that utilizes a back-flow preventer or check valve. It
features a butyl rubber diaphragm and polypropylene
liner to separate the system water from the tank's inner
walls and pre-charge. The system connection is
stainless steel and the tank is finished with an
appliance quality paint to minimize corrosion.
WHAT IT DOES
Adding a back-flow preventer, water meter with a
check valve, or any other "no return" valve to a
domestic water heating system creates a closed-loop
system. When water heats up, it expands which can
cause unsafe operating pressures and cause nuisance
operation of the water heater's safety relief valve.
Adding a thermal expansion tank to the cold water inlet
of the water heater creates a reservoir for he expanded
water. Water enters the tank and is released back into
the system on demand. The goal is to avoid dripping
relief valves and improve the safety of the system.
