,
Rheem have sent us a replacement pressure relief valve.
but the plumber over the phone says we need a thermal expansion tank.
we did not have any problems with the old tank (13 years old)
is there room?
will the tank need to be rotated?
then the drain from the relief valve will be in the wrong place!
thanks all

thanks all
a picture of one of the tanks that they would fit would be nice.

note to moderator: i selected instant email notification, but got none.
thanks
 
i have seen post saying they go on the hot pipe and others on the cold pipe!
is there a correct way?
thanks
