Questions?
What Is an Expansion Tank?
An expansion tank is a small tank installed near your water heater that helps manage pressure changes within your plumbing system. When water is heated, it expands, increasing the pressure within the system. Without an expansion tank, this pressure can cause damage to pipes, fittings, and even the water heater itself. The expansion tank absorbs the extra volume, preventing stress on your plumbing system.
Expansion tanks are particularly important in systems with closed water supply lines. They help maintain a consistent pressure and protect the integrity of your plumbing system by allowing expanded water to flow into the tank rather than straining your pipes.
The Benefits of Expansion Tanks
Adding an expansion tank to your water heater system provides several advantages:
- Protects your plumbing system from excessive pressure
- Extends the lifespan of your water heater
- Reduces the risk of leaks and water damage
- Helps maintain consistent water pressure
- Minimizes stress on pipes and valves
Adding an expansion tank can help you avoid costly repairs and maintain a reliable hot water supply.
