I've read a lot of good advice on this board about expansion tanks, and I'm figuring my case is just different enough to warrant a thread...
My main is running into a manabloc pex distribution system, which feeds the cold inlet of the water heater and this then sends the hot back to the manabloc for distribution but not before the hot supply is Tee'd to feed my radiant floor application.
I KNOW I need a expansion tank, and per the Takagi TH1 heating/domestic plumbing map it shows it mounted on the cold main inlet tee'd with the return from the radiant floor application, with check valves throughout the system.
This all makes sense to me, and I was already to put my tank on the main-in side near the water heater, but the guy from Manabloc mentions the expansion tank should go on the HOT outlet line.
My questions are:
1) is this guy correct?
2) Do i need 2 tanks one cold line, one hot?
3) Would you recommend the expansion tank before or after the manabloc distribution system?
Thanks!
