Thank you for the video! How do you know the system is 15 psi? Is it a standard pressure for hydronic systems? Also, is it necessary to bleed air out after? Appreciate any info you have for these questions!
In a closed loop system the typical psi should be between 10-20. It is good to bleed the air out of the system after switching out the tank. I think I failed to show that in the video. My apologies.
Good video man. One thing that jumped out is that there are galvanized fittings between the air scoop and the Expansion tank. Galvanized pipe and fittings can corrode when used on hot water. Also, galvanized material is sometimes incompatible with modern hydronic system materials. However, on that system with the valves on each side of the air scoop its and easy fix!
yes. they can be mounted in any direction. just be sure to secure it. if/when the tank fails many years down the road it may fill with water and become quite heavy.
