Anyone got a link or info for replacement seals for hydronic pressure tank sightglass? I have not changed these before but the top one I am suspicious is leaking air out and thus water logging the tank.

    Any supply house, the two valves on the gage glass should be closed except when checking the level . If they are left open it could leak air.

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    Ok thanks. Guess I should've said compression tank.☺ I haven't found just the seals. In fact I've only seen the glass and rods. Is it usually a kit or buy separately?

    Soap bubble leak detector may show you the leak. Often it is the valve stem packing on the top valve.
