Taco PAX170-150 – Potable Water Expansion Tank – 45 Gallon

The Taco PAX Series expansion tanks are engineered for commercial and residential potable water systems. Designed per ASME Section VIII, Div. 1, these vertical bladder-style tanks feature a field-replaceable heavy-duty butyl bladder that separates air from water to manage thermal expansion effectively. The precharged air chamber reduces tank size requirements by up to 80% compared to standard steel tanks, while eliminating internal corrosion risks.

Key Features

• ASME-certified steel shell with epoxy coating for long-term durability
• Heavy-duty butyl bladder is removable for inspection and replacement
