Is the expansion tank on the boiler side properly sized?

- The additional quantity of boiler water contained in the outer tank must be considered

when sizing the boiler side expansion tank.

- Insufficient allowance for expansion on the boiler side can cause the boiler pressure relief

valve to lift.

Is the expansion tank defective, waterlogged or improperly charged?
(Non-Warranty)

- Check for failed gaskets or bladders, or a faulty Schraeder valve.
- Use a tire gauge to check the charged pressure of the tank.

Action Item:

- Turn the boiler limit up to a higher setting and let the system run at a higher temperature.

This will simulate maximum expansion in the boiler system.

- If the boiler relief valve lifts and/or there is a significant increase in the boiler system

pressure, the expansion tank is flooded or undersized.

Is the boiler pressure relief valve functioning properly? (Non-Warranty)

- Dirt and water deposits can accumulate under the valve seat.

Check the boiler automatic fill valve for defects. (Non-Warranty)

- Is the valve filling to the correct pressure?

Check for possible ‘inner tank leak’ *reason code 054

- If possible, isolate the Plus tank from the boiler system for an extended period of time.

Observe the boiler system pressure during that time.

* This may be a manufacturing defect. Please initiate a warranty claim with Weil-McLain
noting the reason code listed.
