Series B-LA Bladder Tanks

DESCRIPTION
Series B-LA expansion tanks are ASME rated pre-charged bladder-type pressure vessels. The Series B-LA tank is designed to absorb the expansion forces of heating/cooling system water while maintaining proper system pressurization under varying operating conditions. The heavy duty bladder contains system water thereby eliminating tank corrosion and waterlogging problems. Dimensions: Gallons (Ltrs.), Inches (mm), Weights: LBS.
