Woops, sometimes at my advanced age I get confused. Cold side yes. Hot side no. Sorry for the confusion. Ahhhhh. no, technically the water tank can not be substituted for an expansion tank. Again the code does not say you can substitute it that way. However, I do agree that it should be allowed. Sometimes things slip through the code.

how about this nasty little blurb in the IPC that says you have to use city water if it's available. Even if you have a perfectly good well on your property.
