READ CAREFULLY THE PRODUCT INSTALLATION,
OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS IN THE MANUAL MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND WILL VOID THE
PRODUCT WARRANTY. THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED
PROFESSIONAL. FOLLOW ALL APPLICABLE LOCAL AND STATE CODES AND
REGULATIONS, IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH CODES, FOLLOW THE CURRENT
EDITIONS OF THE NATIONAL PLUMBING CODE AND NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE,
AS APPLICABLE.
This Product, like most Products under pressure, may over
time corrode, weaken and burst or explode, causing serious
or fatal injury, leaking or flooding and/or property damage. To minimize risk, a
licensed professional must install and periodically inspect and service the Product.
A drip pan connected to an adequate drain must be installed if leaking or flooding
could cause property damage. Do not locate in an area where leaking could cause
property damage to the area adjacent to the appliance or to lower floors of the
structure.
RUPTURE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD A relief valve must be
installed to prevent pressure in excess of local code
requirement or maximum working pressure designated in the Product Manual,
whichever is less. Do not expose Product to freezing temperatures or temperatures
in excess of 200° F. Do not adjust the pre-charge or re-pressure this Product except
for any adjustments required at the time of initial installation, especially if Product
is corroded, damaged or with diminished integrity. Adjustments to pre-charge must
be done at ambient temperature only. Failure to properly size the Product or follow
these instructions may result in excessive strain on the system lead to Product
failure, serious or fatal personal injury, leakage and/or property damage.
Chlorine & Aggressive Water: The water quality can
significantly influence the life of this Product. You should test
for corrosive elements, acidity, total solids and other relevant contaminants,
including chlorine and treat your water appropriately to insure satisfactory
performance and prevent premature failure.
Note: Inspect for shipping damage and notify freight carrier or store where
purchased immediately if damage present. To avoid risk of personal injury and
property damage, if the product appears to be malfunctioning or shows signs of
corrosion, call a qualified professional immediately. Current copies of the Product
manual are available from seller. Use proper safety equipment when installing.
Use only with potable water system. Do not operate in a
setting with freezing temperatures or where the temperature
can exceed 200°F and do not exceed the maximum working pressure specified for
this Product.
EXPLOSION OR RUPTURE HAZARD! A relief valve must be
installed to prevent pressure in excess of local code
requirement or maximum working pressure designated in the Product Manual,
whichever is less. At least once every 3 years or if discharge is present, a
licensed contractor should inspect the temperature and pressure relief valve and
replace if corrosion is evident or the valve does not function. FAILURE TO
INSPECT THIS VALVE AS DIRECTED COULD RESULT IN UNSAFE TEMPERATURE
OR PRESSURE BUILD-UP WHICH CAN RESULT IN PRODUCT FAILURE, SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH AND/OR SEVERE PROPERTY DAMAGE AND VOID THE
PRODUCT WARRANTY.
PRE-INSTALLATION
1 Ensure expansion tank is sized properly for application (see Figure 1).
2. Remove plastic cap from air valve.
3. With expansion tank empty of water, adjust air precharge to match cold water
supply pressure.
4. Replace and tighten plastic cap on air valve.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY SEAL VALVE CAP WILL RESULT IN
LOSS OF PRECHARGE CAUSING PRODUCT TO FAIL.

leakage. Make repairs if necessary.
3. Before the initial firing of the water heater, open any hot water fixture and draw
water until all air is removed from the system. Turn the water heater temperature
control to desired ending temperature level, (see water heater instructions). Do
not set temperature higher than that which the expansion tank was originally
sized.
4. To relieve initial thermal expansion, slightly open a hot water faucet. Continue
until water heater aquastat temperature is satisfied. Once heater is at its
operating range, no further bleeding of expanded water is required.

1. Install the expansion tank on the cold water supply line to the water heater at a
point between the water heater and backflow preventer or other one-way device
(see Figure 2.)
2. Once the expansion tank is installed, check the cold water supply line for any
leakage. Make repairs if necessary.
3. Before the initial firing of the water heater, open any hot water fixture and draw
water until all air is removed from the system. Turn the water heater temperature
control to desired ending temperature level, (see water heater instructions). Do
not set temperature higher than that which the expansion tank was originally
sized.
4. To relieve initial thermal expansion, slightly open a hot water faucet. Continue
until water heater aquastat temperature is satisfied. Once heater is at its
operating range, no further bleeding of expanded water is required.

ALL SAFETY MESSAGES THAT FOLLOW THIS SYMBOL TO REDUCE
THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY AS WELL AS PROPERTY
DAMAGE.
READ CAREFULLY THE PRODUCT INSTALLATION,
OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS IN THE MANUAL MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND WILL VOID THE
PRODUCT WARRANTY. THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED
PROFESSIONAL. FOLLOW ALL APPLICABLE LOCAL AND STATE CODES AND
REGULATIONS, IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH CODES, FOLLOW THE CURRENT
EDITIONS OF THE NATIONAL PLUMBING CODE AND NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE,
AS APPLICABLE.
This Product, like most Products under pressure, may over
time corrode, weaken and burst or explode, causing serious
or fatal injury, leaking or flooding and/or property damage. To minimize risk, a
licensed professional must install and periodically inspect and service the Product.
A drip pan connected to an adequate drain must be installed if leaking or flooding
could cause property damage. Do not locate in an area where leaking could cause
property damage to the area adjacent to the appliance or to lower floors of the
structure.
RUPTURE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD A relief valve must be
installed to prevent pressure in excess of local code
requirement or maximum working pressure designated in the Product Manual,
whichever is less. Do not expose Product to freezing temperatures or temperatures
in excess of 200° F. Do not adjust the pre-charge or re-pressure this Product except
for any adjustments required at the time of initial installation, especially if Product
is corroded, damaged or with diminished integrity. Adjustments to pre-charge must
be done at ambient temperature only. Failure to properly size the Product or follow
these instructions may result in excessive strain on the system lead to Product
failure, serious or fatal personal injury, leakage and/or property damage.
Chlorine & Aggressive Water: The water quality can
significantly influence the life of this Product. You should test
for corrosive elements, acidity, total solids and other relevant contaminants,
including chlorine and treat your water appropriately to insure satisfactory
performance and prevent premature failure.
Note: Inspect for shipping damage and notify freight carrier or store where
purchased immediately if damage present. To avoid risk of personal injury and
property damage, if the product appears to be malfunctioning or shows signs of
corrosion, call a qualified professional immediately. Current copies of the Product
manual are available from seller. Use proper safety equipment when installing.
Use only with potable water system. Do not operate in a
setting with freezing temperatures or where the temperature
can exceed 200°F and do not exceed the maximum working pressure specified for
this Product.
EXPLOSION OR RUPTURE HAZARD! A relief valve must be
installed to prevent pressure in excess of local code
requirement or maximum working pressure designated in the Product Manual,
whichever is less. At least once every 3 years or if discharge is present, a
licensed contractor should inspect the temperature and pressure relief valve and
replace if corrosion is evident or the valve does not function. FAILURE TO
INSPECT THIS VALVE AS DIRECTED COULD RESULT IN UNSAFE TEMPERATURE
OR PRESSURE BUILD-UP WHICH CAN RESULT IN PRODUCT FAILURE, SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH AND/OR SEVERE PROPERTY DAMAGE AND VOID THE
PRODUCT WARRANTY.
PRE-INSTALLATION
1 Ensure expansion tank is sized properly for application (see Figure 1).
2. Remove plastic cap from air valve.
3. With expansion tank empty of water, adjust air precharge to match cold water
supply pressure.
4. Replace and tighten plastic cap on air valve.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY SEAL VALVE CAP WILL RESULT IN
LOSS OF PRECHARGE CAUSING PRODUCT TO FAIL.

including chlorine and treat your water appropriately to insure satisfactory
performance and prevent premature failure.
Note: Inspect for shipping damage and notify freight carrier or store where
purchased immediately if damage present. To avoid risk of personal injury and
property damage, if the product appears to be malfunctioning or shows signs of
corrosion, call a qualified professional immediately. Current copies of the Product
manual are available from seller. Use proper safety equipment when installing.
Use only with potable water system. Do not operate in a
setting with freezing temperatures or where the temperature
can exceed 200°F and do not exceed the maximum working pressure specified for
this Product.
EXPLOSION OR RUPTURE HAZARD! A relief valve must be
installed to prevent pressure in excess of local code
requirement or maximum working pressure designated in the Product Manual,
whichever is less. At least once every 3 years or if discharge is present, a
licensed contractor should inspect the temperature and pressure relief valve and
replace if corrosion is evident or the valve does not function. FAILURE TO
INSPECT THIS VALVE AS DIRECTED COULD RESULT IN UNSAFE TEMPERATURE
OR PRESSURE BUILD-UP WHICH CAN RESULT IN PRODUCT FAILURE, SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH AND/OR SEVERE PROPERTY DAMAGE AND VOID THE
PRODUCT WARRANTY.

(see Figure 2.)
2. Once the expansion tank is installed, check the cold water supply line for any
leakage. Make repairs if necessary.
3. Before the initial firing of the water heater, open any hot water fixture and draw
water until all air is removed from the system. Turn the water heater temperature
control to desired ending temperature level, (see water heater instructions). Do
not set temperature higher than that which the expansion tank was originally
sized.
4. To relieve initial thermal expansion, slightly open a hot water faucet. Continue
until water heater aquastat temperature is satisfied. Once heater is at its
operating range, no further bleeding of expanded water is required.
