Title: Expansion tanks
Post by: ST98 on October 23, 2013, 03:46:58 AM

Good morning, I have a question on expansion tanks. It seems that there are expansion tanks for radiant heat or for baseboard and fan forced heat exchangers. What one would you use if you have both?  Ill have radiant in the floor and fan forced in the basement. Radiant will cover aprox 1300 feet and attached between the floor joists.

Also I can't seem to find 1 1/4 pex fittings. Do anyone know of any place online to purchase? 

Thanks

Expansion tanks are typically sized on water capacity of the system, sounds to me that a # 30 would be fine for you, have you looked at the product called ULTRA FIN, I like it for the way it installs, even heat in the bays of the floor joists and it needs no mixing valves, 1 1/4 fittings can be purchased from Rick @ Badger pipe 800 561 7002
