THERM-X-TROL® Thermal Expansion Absorbers Thermal expansion occurs as domestic water is heated. Left unchecked, the resulting pressure increase can cause relief valve discharge and other potentially unsafe conditions. Therm-X-Trol® expansion tanks absorb this expanded water, keeping water pressure at a safe level.
Water heater manufacturers and plumbing codes require the installation of an expansion control device if a backflow preventor, pressure reducing valve or check valve is installed in the domestic supply line. Therm-X-Trol satisfies all manufacturers' requirements. Featured on Ask This Old House ![]() |
