Watts PLT-20 Expansion Tank — SKU 0067372
The Watts PLT-20 Expansion Tank is a pre-pressurized diaphragm-type expansion tank engineered for residential and light commercial hydronic heating systems. Designed to absorb the thermal expansion of water as it heats and cools, the PLT-20 safeguards your system components — including boilers, pumps, and piping — from potentially damaging pressure fluctuations.
Why Use an Expansion Tank?
In a closed-loop hydronic system, water expands when heated. Without a properly sized expansion tank, this expansion creates excess pressure that can trip relief valves, cause leaks, and shorten the life of system components. The Watts PLT-20 provides a dedicated volume to accommodate this expansion, maintaining stable operating pressure and extending system longevity.
