Expansion Tank for Central Heating Boiler

Post a reply

Postby cacran » Sun Nov 01, 2020 9:24 pm

I have just bought an Expansion Tank from Toolstation.
It says that it is pressurised to 1.5 bar. The one in my Bosch System says it is .75 bar.
Should I reset the new tank to .75 or will it be okay to fit the Tank as it came 1.5 bar?

Hi cacran
If your system runs at 0.75 bar then the pressure vessel should also be at this pressure to allow for maximum expansion/contraction.
