I think the radiant tank they made had a stainless nipple for connection maybe? Or was it a coated tank like the ThermTrol DHW tank?Bob "hot rod" Rohr

i believe it is smaller in capacity radiant zones are usually alot smaller in btu loads than normal heat loops that need the extrol 30 or larger depending on the btu load, btu load being the way to size your tank!!! and if its added to a heat loop it doesnt need another tank, i think,lol, depends on the total heat load of the system"The bitter taste of a poor install lasts far longer than the JOY of the lowest price"0

Expansion tanks are sized using total system water volume and total system temp differential, ie. 60F-200F. In my business there are lots of examples of thermal storage, large vessels holding water etc that must be calculated into the numbers. BTU alone is just a rule of thumb, and not really accurate. Think of a gravity system vs. fintube high temp.Serving Northern Maine HVAC & Controls. I burn wood, it smells good!0
