2. Thermal Expansion Devices
Its purpose is to deal with thermal expansion of water as it heats up in the water heater - to prevent water pressure from getting too high. If water pressure gets high enough it can damage valves in plumbing fixtures, joints in supply pipes and even the water heater.
When do I need a Thermal Expansion Device?
Any time the plumbing system becomes a closed system.
Double Checks
Check Valve
Pressure Reducing valve with extreme pressures on the inlet side

3. Old Way
In order to conserve space in the water heater locations (primarily in multi-family applications), many contractors and owners have moved away from the expansion tank as their source for thermal expansion.

4. Old Way Thermal expansion tanks can lose their charge and fail - cost
They Should be inspected on regular basis – cost
Take up more shelf space
Harder to install

5. Old Way Installation

6. New Way
Most contractors are now using a thermal expansion valve in place of the expansion tank when space is an issue.
Much simpler installation
Much less shelf space required

7. New Way
As you will see in the next slide, the contractor installs the valve and runs a piece of CPVC or tube to a drain outlet.
This sale can be paired with an MR-500-NPB to keep the drain trap wetted.
