Tool Tips: Expansion tanks, pipe clamps and nylon adapters
Expansion tank removal
Replacing an old expansion tank can be tricky. It’s filled with water. It’s heavy and slippery. It’s often in an awkward location. It’s an accident waiting to happen. I use an old piece of heavy-duty cargo net. It’s like an extra pair of hands. Secure it properly; do not leave a lot of excess space. When a tank drops, it has a lot of force.
