Watts Expansion Tanks

An expansion tank is used to maintain a balanced pressure through the water supply system by maintaining the pressure below the T & P relief valve setting. The Watts expansion tanks are made fro both drinking and non drinking water supplies. When water gets heated it expands and because water is not compressible the extra volume that the water created by the expansion has to go somewhere that is where the tank comes in. The warmer the water the more it expands,
