Product Description
Armstrong SX-40V Non-ASME Diaphragm Expansion Tank – 21.2 gal (80 L)
The Armstrong SX-40V is a compact non-ASME diaphragm expansion tank for hydronic systems. Its double-clamped butyl diaphragm maintains a permanent pressurized air cushion, preventing waterlogging and air absorption into the system, and avoiding nuisance relief valve discharge and unnecessary water make-up. Tank volume is 21.2 gal (80 L) with an acceptance volume of 13.1 gal (50 L), rated for a maximum working pressure of 100 psi (700 kPa, 7 bar).
