In response to Re: residential expansion tank.
If you put the air in through the tire valve fitting and it comes out of the pipe connection, then the tank is broken or defective and has to be replaced. : Having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to adjust the pressure when the tank is off the system.I have tried to use a bicyccle pump as the manual states but find it impossible to get pressure to 40 psi air just comes out the tank fitting that connects to the cold water line . Do i cap it first somehow then attach? What should pressure be on a 5lb tank when it is hooked up and working right? thz so much pat
