This Round Expansion Tank Bracket (Steel D42) is a compact, durable mounting solution designed for heating expansion vessels up to 25 liters, including Flexcon-type and other European-standard red expansion tanks. The bracket features five functional connection ports, allowing installers to assemble a complete heating safety group in one place: pressure gauge, automatic air vent, safety valve, and dual ¾" connections for the expansion vessel and the system’s return line.
Constructed from high-strength D42 carbon steel tubing and finished with a RAL3013 red powder coating, the console is corrosion-resistant and visually consistent with European expansion vessels. The integrated wall-mounting plate with two slotted holes allows either horizontal or vertical installation, making it ideal for boiler rooms, small heating systems, and renovation projects.
This bracket ensures a clean, reliable, and easy way to install expansion vessels while maintaining safety and system performance.

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