Flexcon Industries Expansion Tanks from N.H. Yates
Water heaters can stress the pipes of a plumbing system during the normal thermal expansion that occurs during the heating process. Therefore, many engineers choose to install expansion tanks, sometimes called thermal expansion tanks, as a safety to minimize the risk of pressure damage to the plumbing system. It’s estimated that 50 gallons of cold water in a standard water heater can expand to take up the space of 52 gallons when heated to 120F. This extra water can create excess pressure in the plumbing system which over time can cause damage to the water heater, plumbing fixtures, and the water pipes themselves. At N.H. Yates, we are proud to be manufacturers representatives for the entire line of Flexcon Industries Expansion Tanks and have seen their product successfully utilized in many commercial and residential applications.
Flexcon Industries Expansion Tanks FLEX Pro 2 PH Series
The FLEX 2 Pro PH expansion tank from Flexcon Industries gives your system the ultimate in hot water pressure protection. This unit features Flexcon’s exclusive CAD-2 diaphragm and antimicrobial liner and is designed to maintain safe pressure in water systems that use a backflow preventer.
- 16 – gauge solid steel tank, finished with highest quality urethane paint to
- stand up to the dampest basement or crawl space
- CAD-2 diaphragm technology which is strong, 100% butyl diaphragm and copolymer polypropylene lower chamber for maximum water and air separation.
- Stainless steel nipples designed to stand up to the harshest elements
Flexcon Industries Expansion Tanks HXT and SXHT Series
The Flex Pro 2 HTX and SXHT series are designed to relieve pressure build-up in forced hot water heating systems. Both of these tanks lines’ diaphragms are oversized which maximizes drawdown and minimizes wear. In addition, both models include tank, air scoop, and vent for added installer convenience. Hydronic accessory items including a fill valve are also available for the HXT and SXHT models.
