Hey guys great video and I'm not even sure I'm gonna get a response to this based on the age of the video. But I went ahead and replaced my faulty expansion tank and followed all the steps got our pressurized and it actually took care of our water hammer issue however it is doing a slow leak around the connection even after using plumbers tape and I really don't feel like I should tighten it anymore than it is and it still does it.
Is there a way to remove the newly installed one without ruining it and reapply even more tape for a better seal?
Why is the expansion tank mounted horizontal? The instructions state to mount vertical.
useless video. Poor and shotty installation plus dude on the right, you talk too much
Get to the fricken point !!!
good video. I would mount tank vertcially so that air doesn't get trapped between bladder and piping. I would strap the tank if horzontal. Tank should be placed at least 18" from water heater(found on directions that come with tank). Add air before installing. I would replace that valve with a ball valve.
more crap for an old lady...I don't have tools like they do, I am used more to the European water heaters, no water in there...now have a leaking water heater and back up sewage, lovely!! help.....
Why not install gauge and monitor all the time ?
Very Good!!!
Sorry the guy on the right is disrupting the lesson.
I thought the expansion tank was supposed to be 2 pounds over your water pressure.
