Everyone over here saying they aren’t necessary lmao. Go ahead and remove one on a house with a prv and check valve. Good bye t&p valve. Same reason they are necessary on boilers…. use your brain and quit bitching about code updates.

It’s for thermal expansion, and extremely necessary if you have a prv

They do work. The water heater steel is thinner now than ever. And collapse do to pressure. The tank itself is like $40 not $100

If you have city water with a prv or back flow preventer it’s absolutely necessary, only time you don’t need it is on a well.

Dude of course it’s doing something. If your system is a closed system it NEEDS it for expansion sheesh

if you don't have a dual check valve coming in on the main it's pretty useless

closed system or not its a $ grab the tank has a warranty for a reason new tanks last about 8 years expansion tanks are not needed here in nyc they just started implementing in 2025.

It’s stupid untill you change your regulator and you still have pressure issues. The stupid thing about it is that bad install 😂

It’s called an expansion tank its take the heating pressure off the tank, with new heaters if you don’t have one your tank will leak.

it takes the thermal expansion off the water heater when heating if it's installed right. That is not installed right. 😳🤔

So my understanding, if you are on well you do not need (house has expansion tank already) required with city water because newer meters have internal check valve, so the thermal expansion has no where to push back to

I don’t get it the expansion tank is there to absorb excess pressure if needed but there is a relief valve on the tank if too much pressure occurs
