Installation Guide


  1. Choose a solid wall surface capable of supporting the expansion vessel's full weight.

  2. Fix the wall plate using the two slotted mounting holes.

  3. Attach the expansion vessel to the ¾" connection, either directly or via a quick coupling.

  4. Install a pressure gaugeautomatic air vent, and safety valve on the three upper ports (3/8" ×2, 1/2" ×1).

  5. Connect the expansion line to the second ¾" port.

  6. Seal all threaded connections using PTFE tape or thread sealant.

  7. Fill the system, check pressure levels, and ensure there are no leaks.


Compatibility


This bracket fits:

  • Flexcon-type expansion vessels (18–25 L)

  • Reflex, Flamco, Aquasystem, Zilmet-type red heating vessels

  • Any vessel with ¾" male connection

  • Domestic heating systems, boiler systems, and hydronic circuits


Safety Notes


  • Always depressurize the heating system before installation.

  • Check and adjust vessel pre-charge pressure (0.8–1.5 bar) before operation.

  • Ensure the safety valve outlet is unobstructed.

  • Install the expansion vessel upright for best performance and longer lifespan.

FAQ


Q1: Can you use a Flexi hose on an expansion vessel?

A: It is not recommended. Expansion vessels require rigid, pressure-rated connections to avoid movement and stress during expansion. Flexible hoses may not withstand long-term pressure cycling.
Use a rigid ¾" connection or manufacturer-approved quick coupling instead.


Q2: What is the correct way to install an expansion vessel?

A:

  • Install the vessel upright whenever possible.

  • Mount it on a solid wall using a certified bracket like this Steel D42 model.

  • Connect the vessel to the return line using the ¾" port.

  • Set the pre-charge pressure to match system requirements (usually 0.8–1.5 bar).

  • Ensure a safety valve is installed on the same assembly.


Q3: Does an expansion vessel need to be upright?

A: Yes, upright installation is preferred.
It ensures:
✔ Proper diaphragm movement
✔ Lower stress on the vessel
✔ Longer lifespan
✔ More accurate pressure readings

Horizontal mounting is possible but not ideal unless the vessel design specifically allows it.


Q4: How do I know what size expansion vessel I need?

A:
Sizing depends on:

  • System water volume

  • Boiler capacity

  • Operating pressure

  • Temperature range

Common domestic heating systems use 18–25 L vessels.
Always choose a vessel that can absorb the water expansion without exceeding safety valve pressure.


Q5: What pressure should I set my expansion vessel to?

A: The vessel pre-charge pressure should match the system’s cold fill pressure.
Typical values:

  • Domestic heating: 0.8–1.2 bar

  • Larger systems: 1.2–1.5 bar

Check the pressure before installation while the vessel is isolated.


Q6: What are the symptoms of a failed expansion vessel?

Common signs include:

  • Boiler pressure rising rapidly when heating

  • Safety valve discharging water

  • “0 pressure” when the system cools

  • Vessel full of water (loss of air cushion)

  • Banging noises in the system

A failed diaphragm or full-water vessel must be replaced.


Q7: What is the lifespan of an expansion vessel?

A: Most vessels last 5–10 years, depending on:

  • Water quality

  • Operating pressure

  • Temperature variation

  • Installation orientation

  • Brand quality

Proper bracket support (like this model) helps extend lifespan by reducing vibration and stress.


Q8: Can I replace an expansion vessel myself?

A:

  • If you are familiar with heating systems and can safely depressurize them, replacement is straightforward.

  • However, for sealed systems or gas boilers, a certified installer is recommended to ensure compliance with local regulations.


Q9: How long does it take to change an expansion vessel?

A: Typically 30–60 minutes, depending on access and pipework layout.


Q10: What happens if an expansion vessel is full of water?

A:
If the air chamber is lost:

  • System pressure spikes

  • Safety valve opens

  • Boiler locks out

  • Pipes may bang or vibrate

The vessel must be re-pressurized or replaced.


Q11: How often should an expansion vessel be serviced?

A:
Annually.
Service includes:

  • Check pre-charge pressure

  • Inspect diaphragm condition

  • Ensure no water is present in the air chamber

  • Confirm bracket and connections are secure


Q12: What is the difference between red and white expansion vessels?

A:

  • Red (heating systems) — For closed-loop CH systems, higher temperature resistance

  • White (potable water) — For domestic hot water expansion, epoxy-lined to be drinking-water safe

Your bracket is designed for red heating expansion vessels such as Flexcon-type tanks.
