Expansion Tanks

The expansion tank is an integral

component in a closed heating
system. With the stress and strain
that occurs during start up, you
need to have confidence in the
system components. Hurlcon’s
range of expansion tanks have been
developed and manufactured in Italy
to the highest standards for over 25
years and naturally compliment our
range of boilers. This technology is
used throughout the range which
includes tanks for heating hot water,
potable water, pressure boost and
solar system applications.
